To the rest of the world, Killua is a killing machine; a cold, heartless boy brought up for the sole purpose of carrying out dark murders.

Gon says otherwise.

To Gon, Killua is a multiplex of emotions and quirks and colours, some varying slightly from the next, others completely opposite, but all of it still containing something that is so uniquely Killua.

Gon thinks everyone else must be blind. They can't see Killua the way he can.

They can't see the Killua who whispers and mumbles childishly in his sleep, the Killua who picks at his vegetables, or the Killua who laughs playfully while splashing in the water. Nor can they see the Killua who wonders with doubt every night whether his family misses him or not, or the Killua who smiles –a genuine smile, not a cocky grin- when something fantastic has happened.

Gon wonders if there are as many faces of his best friend as there are stars in the sky.
