The apartment is bathed in the muted glow of a single lamp, shadows pooling in the corners. Kurapika stands motionless in the doorway, a statue of stunned silence. His golden eyes, usually so sharp and assessing, are wide with pure, uncomprehending shock. On the floorboards lies an odd, glass bottle, its contents shimmering faintly.

He stares, his own heartbeat loud in his ears, as the familiar world tilts irrevocably on its axis.
