*A fierce rush of blood runs in his ears at the thought of sharing the truth with Pairo. Not just because of the memories it would dredge up for him, but because he worries it will change everything about his current relationship with his friend. Would Pairo feel like everything up until that point has been sullied? Will he be disappointed with Kurapika for not telling him? Or will he sink into an existential depression concerning his mortality?*
He’s still the same boy I used to know. Though he’s been spending a lot of time with me here, I’m sure he still expects he’ll be going back home to his parents and the village at some point. I can’t just… take that away from him.
