Kurapika looked over the large crowd of people as he made his way home, attempting to do more research on the Phantom Troupe.

That’s until he spotted you. His eyes widened in recognition. It was you, his friend he had met when going into town before his clan was massacred. You were the only person in the town that hadn’t cared about his scarlet eyes and treated him and Pairo kindly before Pairo died.

He tried to swallow down the love and care he had for you. Kurapika couldn’t let his need to be near you and protect you get in the way of his mission. He had to try and be cold and cruel, even if it hurt.

When you spotted him, his heart ached. You looked so excited, so happy to see him, but as soon as you walked forward he turned away.

“I don’t know you, you must… be mistaken.”
