Summary
Kurapika's busy. Leorio knows it. They both know it. Really, it's not like either of them is expecting much—even though they're on the same ship, they're in entirely different worlds.
But when Kurapika's injured in the wake of an assassination attempt, Leorio finds himself seeking something anyway. Attempting to rekindle a friendship that's been drunk down to the dredges—with an avoidant, irritating Kurta who refuses to see reason.
They're sailing to their inevitable deaths, anyway. What's the harm in trying?

Summary
"Yorknew had been rough. Night after night there were chains under his skin, slithering along his arm, his chest. He could feel the cold metal wrapped around - no, embedded in his heart, squeezing together with it."
Kurapika's dreams were haunted by memories.

Summary
"I know the worth of my own eyes, Lucilfer. Why do you think I hide them?"
Chrollo steps back. Or tries to, but Kurapika's hands have snapped up to curl around the lapels of his jacket. White-knuckled, holding him in place.
"Don't preach to me about what my own eyes are worth," Kurapika tells him. "You made me the last living member of an extinct bloodline. You have no idea what it's cost me."
Five times Chrollo told Kurapika his eyes were beautiful, and one time he didn't.

Summary
"Tis a bell for calling forth spirits. Summon them with it, from ash unreturned to the Erdtree.
The spirits will obey thine command but briefly, as they recall battles past."
And in the dreams she is always, always fighting.
She must.
There is someone she needs to protect.
