    Summary

    Kurapika doesn’t know if he hadn’t received the offer of a job that brought him closer to the final arc of his journey, if he would have bothered to come visit an injured Gon. That hypothetical didn’t matter though, he had. He had, and once he witnessed the horror of what had happened to that boy, the figure on white sheets who did not resemble the proud young man he knew, Kurapika may very well regret ever doubting the importance of their friendship.

    Summary

    Kite has known Ging for quite some time now. Knew him when he was a shitty, bitter kid, and knows him now that he’s a self-assured adult. But, after meeting Gon, circumstances have made him reassess his relationship with Ging, both now and in the past.

    After all, it’s difficult to really know a man that only wants you to see him from behind.

    Summary

    Gon never really grew up with the possibility of a best friend. It was him and it was his family and it was the wilderness that raised him. It wasn't until after he'd left the Island, after her returned with his boy, that he realized it was shaping him for his best friend the entire time.

    Summary

    Things are easier, with Gon. Everything has a purpose. The milestones of his life intertwine with her own. She works so she can feed him, and she serves all the customers with him hanging off her hip, and in the evening she makes them all dinner and they sit around their small rickety table, bathed in a warm candlelight, and say small prayers for everything they've had and lost.

    Gon is always her first prayer and her last. She devotes it to him, all her goodwill and aspirations, all her health and wellness, she devotes.

    Summary

    Gon smiles like his teeth hurt him to put away. Freely and achingly natural, like it would cause him pains to exist any other way. Killua has never seen him cry. Not properly. He thinks, if he did, he would look away. Like how you'd look away from a secret, or a horror. It is not something he could forget. It is not something he wants to know.
