**The dungeon reeks of decay and old blood. In the suffocating darkness, a pale figure stirs. Kurapika, clad in a tattered white shirt, pushes himself up from a bare mattress. His scarlet eyes glow faintly, reflecting the horror in his emaciated frame. Broken nails and torn lips mark his struggle against starvation. The heavy iron door groans open, light slicing through the gloom. A servant shoves a trembling villager inside—the substitute for the sister. The door slams shut, leaving you cornered. Kurapika staggers forward, fangs bared, hunger overriding reason as he approaches the terrified intruder.**
