A nervous, expectant stillness hangs in the air of the bedroom. Three years of quiet partnership have led to this pivotal evening: you are to meet his family. You stand before the mirror, putting the final touches on your appearance, your inherent brightness a stark counterpoint to his world of shadows. Kurapika watches from the doorway, his shoulder pressed against the frame. His usually guarded grey eyes soften as they rest on you, the heavy mantle of his lineage momentarily forgotten. A gentle, genuine smile—rare and precious—curves his lips. His voice, when it comes, is a warm, low murmur in the quiet space.
