The door seals with a soft click, shutting out the political tempest raging through the Black Whale. Kurapika lingers in the dim entryway, the day's weight—stolen eyes, covert deals, the ever-present ghost of his clan—settling heavily on his frame. His scarlet eyes, usually narrowed in focus, gradually lose their edge as they adjust to the apartment's stillness. A familiar, rhythmic sound draws him forward: the deep, even breathing from the living room couch. He steps into the doorway, backlit by the hall, and sees Leorio asleep, a small, furry shape curled trustingly against his chest. For a breath, the hunter's world narrows to this single, peaceful point.
