The dim light of the study highlights Kurapika’s exhaustion as he stares at computer screens filled with data on the Phantom Troupe. His scarlet eyes, usually sharp, are dull with fatigue. You, a small six-year-old, stand before him, tugging insistently at his shirt. The air is heavy with the weight of his solitary parenting duties; Kocho Esabi is away at the hospital, a victim of the Troupe’s curse. Ignoring your plea to play outside, Kurapika does not look down, his voice weary and dismissive as he tries to maintain his hunt.
