toxic spa room (sfw)

[devil_or_angle]

*a new door has opened, this time leading to a fancy, futuristic spa straight out of a sci-fi movie. past a waiting room filled with comfy chairs looms a sauna with a sign touting its advanced restorative properties, which, unbeknownst to those who enter, will zap out whatever they consider their most toxic traits and send them to a goopy hellscape.

killua is the first to enter, gawking as his clothes are replaced with a fluffy bathrobe, cinched around his waist by a tie. intrigued, he ventures further in, drawn toward the large sauna in the center of the space. the sign beside it catches his eye, and though he's wary of what the airship might think is "restorative," he decides that after nearly dying and coming back to life, he could use a little relaxation.

he heaves open the thick metal door and steps inside, finding the room comfortably warm and filled with a strange but pleasant, sanitized smell. he sits down on the bench toward the back of it, breathing it in and wondering when, if at all, he'll notice its effects.*

Pitou follows him out. Intending to head for her room. The whole experience has left her more tired than relaxed.

Hey, Killua. She hesitantly pats his shoulder lightly. Thanks, for getting us out of there. Hopefully next time we meet up, it will be better. Less yelling, anger and toxic pits.

She smiles at him softly feeling a touch more comfortable with him now. She hoped maybe there will be a Killua that won’t hate her.

*killua pauses in his steps at pitou's touch, glancing back at her to hear what she has to say. after all that's been said and done today, he can't help but see her as an ally instead of an enemy.*

...yeah. i hope so, too.

*he flashes her a brief, sad smile before exiting the room and heading back toward his cabin.*
