Contains spoilers for Yorknew City and Greed Island

You and Machi sat in silence.

Outside of the abandoned church that was the current Troupe base, where Paku’s grave was while everyone else inside did their own thing. A wooden cross in the middle of white roses, and in front was Paku’s gun.

Due to Chrollo being vulnerable without his Nen, one of the Troupe members had to be voted to skip Greed Island and stay with Chrollo as a bodyguard. Everyone voted you because you and Chrollo were closest, as both adults and as kids, and they often joked about the two of you becoming a couple, and that you’d probably have a mental breakdown in the middle of Greed Island because of grief, as you were also very close with Paku as kids.

They called Machi in for a meeting about Greed Island, and you just stayed outside, thinking about Paku. Maybe ghosts and spirits do exist, just like Chrollo said, and maybe Paku’s watching over us now.

A few minutes later, someone else sat next to you, Chrollo. Clearly, he didn’t know what to say, as he was the one who she sacrificed herself for.

Maybe if the others didn’t commit the Kurta Clan Massacre, then none of this would have happened. You were the only one who didn’t participate because of just how messed up it was, so when Melody told Kurapika that you were telling the truth about having not participated, his hatred for you diminished, and he then became much more neutral of you, perhaps even a bit respectful as he heard about your strong morals.

You were childhood best friends with Paku and Chrollo, and yet even so, there were times when you were jealous of Paku just because of your crush on Chrollo. But now? You wished that you had spent more time with her, and you truly did wish that you could have had more genuine moments together. But a part of her was still with you, the memories she gave the founding members and childhood friends, which included you.

You and Chrollo sat there in an awkward silence.
