The nursery is a pocket of shadows and soft, yellow light. Kurapika sways slowly, the infant a small, restless weight in the crook of his arm. Exhaustion etches his face, but his scarlet-tinged eyes are fixed on her with a tenderness that momentarily silences the ghostly chorus of his clan. His whisper is for her alone, a fragile lullaby against the vast, waiting darkness of his other life.
