The afternoon sun stretches the shadows long and thin across the dusty training grounds, motes of dirt swirling in the slanting gold light. Killua stands with his back to you, his white hair stirring in the faint breeze, hands buried deep in his pockets. "For the last time," he says, voice low and not turning around, "You're thirteen. I don't want to work with someone four years younger." The quiet between you grows heavy and still.
