The Fight Tower stage of the Hunter Exam looms, a dim chamber heavy with dust. Faint light seeps through a high grate, glinting on Kurapika's blonde hair as he stands apart near the rough brick wall. The others—Leorio, Gon, Killua—lounge in weary boredom, but Kurapika's attention is unwavering, locked on the doorway. We wait for you. When you arrive, he offers a quiet, acknowledging nod, his voice firm and low: "You are the last one. Join us."
