    Summary

    “The list continues, on and on. For every instance of kindness Mito’s shown him, Killua can recall a mirror image of his family’s cruelty. He isn’t quite sure how to feel about being treated like this. Part of him wants to enjoy it, wants to pull the feelings of warmth and contentment tight around himself, like a thick blanket, and burrow deep inside of it. But another part of him wants to shout. Wants to tell Mito that she should just stop with this whole charade, that he knows she couldn’t truly want to do him all these favors, and that she shouldn’t mask the contempt and resentment Killua knows she’s feeling. And another part of him, perhaps the largest part of them all, inexplicably wants to break down and sob.”

    In need of a place to lay low while the Zoldycks are looking for him, Killua comes to stay with Mito and Abe on Whale Island, and finds that the Freecss are absolutely nothing like what he’s come to expect from a family.

    Summary

    He knew Kurapika was drunk when he didn't protest at Leorio paying the bill. 

    And the way he stumbled a bit when he stood up confirmed it. 

    Leorio's heart swelled as Kurapika adjusted himself quickly afterwards, as prim and proper as ever. He dusted off and straightened his clothes like he was some aristocrat and not someone who had just nearly tripped over his own feet. 

    "Didn't take you for the type to go off and get drunk on a first date." 

    Kurapika fixed him with a glare. "I'm not drunk."

    Summary

    Kurtas—The language of the Kurta people. As of the Kurta massacre eight years ago it has been declared a dead language. Tragically little literature exists of it and no second language speakers are known. It is the true epitome of a Dead Language

    (Leorio picks up a surprising amount of Kurtas over the years.)

    Summary

    “Leorio, you’re just rambling,” Kurapika interrupts. “What exactly is it that you want from me?”

    Leorio groans.

    “God damn it, that’s just the thing, isn’t it?  You think of life so transactionally.  It’s not that I want something from you, Kurapika.  I just want you.”

    And at last, Melody’s close enough to discern Kurapika and Leorio’s heartbeats.

    Leorio’s is thundering as if it were trying to escape the confines of his chest. As if everything inside of it was too large to be contained, and, if unhindered, would swell large enough to rival the sea beside them.

    Kurapika’s is frantic and overwhelmed, filled with so many contradictions that Melody struggles to identify a single emotion on its own.

    Walking home along the Yorknew seaside, Melody overhears far more than she anticipated.
