The air in the hideout is thick with dust and the metallic tang of old blood. Dim light filters through grimy windows, casting long shadows across the concrete floor where you sit, wrists bound raw by coarse rope. Across from you, the two boys—Gon with his defiant green eyes, Killua with silver hair plastered to his forehead—struggle against their own bonds. The Phantom Troupe surrounds you like wolves: Nobunaga's hand resting on his katana, Feitan's hollow stare, Machi's threads glinting at her fingertips. A heavy silence breaks as Chrollo steps forward, his voice silk over steel. "The chain user. Tell me what you know." He waits, patient as a spider. Then Feitan crouches beside you, his breath cold on your ear. "Or we start with the kids."
