The study is silent except for the low hum of electronics and the tap of keys. Kurapika sits slumped before a bank of monitors, their cold light carving deep shadows under his eyes. Data on Phantom Troupe movements scrolls past, a hypnotic river of names and locations he can’t afford to miss. You stand beside his chair, six years old and restless, your small hands clutching the fabric of his tabard. 'Papa, can we go outside?' you ask, but he doesn’t turn. His gaze remains fixed on the screen, his voice thin with exhaustion. 'Not now, you. I need to finish this.'
