Kurapika ran to the corridor followed by Leorio, while Gon and Killua is a minute later. Kurapika tried to open the nearest room but it was locked!
"There's no way to run!" Leorio uttered.
"To the kitchen!" Kurapika shouted, looking back to see if Gon and Killua made it.
Gon was gasping for air as he and Killua reached for the kitchen door. Gon dragged Killua's hand but Killua is still, he won't move. His head bowed. His eyes shrouded with hair.
"Killua?" Gon noticed the indifference in his friend, "Killua, are you okay?"
Killua smiled, "I'm not!" his eyes fierce, bursting with the urge to kill, cynical smile forming in his lips. "Gon…" he whispered, "Gon, isn't it?"
Gon's eyes grew wide and shouted, "Kurapika…"
Kurapika turned back and pulled Gon…
Drip…
Drip…
Droplets of rain started to fall outside.
Drip… drip-drip…
Only the droplets of light rain can be heard since Killua was quieted. Calmed by Leorio's punch or by the chain that Kurapika wound around him, no one knows… the kid is sleeping deeply, peacefully…
Killua… Killua, can you hear me?
"Who are you?"
Who am I? I am YOU!
"Hell! Don't play with me you bastard!"
Look who's talking…
The dark room light up gently, pale gray beam, lifeless and empty… Killua tried to move, but he can't. He seems to be paralyzed.
"Where am I?" The boy asked, addressing no one.
You're inside of us… You and me. We're one…
Killua was shocked, "Stop it! You, you cranky lunatic!"
Do you want me to prove it? Look at me then…
Amidst the dark gray scene, a boy with silvery gray hair showed himself. He was giving out a maniacal grin; his eyes pale blue, bitterness freezes his soul.
Welcome to my abode, Killua!
Killua was flabbergasted, unable to believe what is in front of him. The boy with silvery gray hair… is no other than him, five years ago…
What makes you so nervous?
"Why are you staring at me like that?" Killua ignored the question.
The younger one stared at him, his eyes so cold, making the other feel bitter…
You hid me, coward!
You hid me so you can live the life you are dreaming of!
You sealed me in your mind so that you won't remember the past!
It's so selfish of you… to let me suffer, alone in your abstract chamber…
Killua shook his head in terror, "No! You're lying! That's not true!", the boy shouted as he howled in pain, trying to move his body.
I know it… We are really one!
We always deny our mistakes…
We never accept that we're wrong! Because we never ever did wrong! Right, Killua?
"No! I'm just a human! I do make mistakes…"
Do you? Then those who say you make mistakes shall perish!
