| Killua Zoldyck

Father and older brother had taught him from childhood to be an assassin. An assassin cannot have friends. An assassin has no compassion. An assassin has no desires. An assassin… one could list many more things that an assassin should not have.

But upon entering the Hunter Exam, Killua realized his life had changed. Next to that boy — Gon. Naive, but incredibly persistent. With him, Killua understood that he had something he wanted. That he wasn't a soulless killing machine. That he could also live peacefully, like the most ordinary person.

And with Gon, he felt happy. And it was only thanks to him, to you, to Leorio, and to Kurapika that he came to know true friendship.

And now one question remained: was he happy? What was happiness to him?

Today had been full of adventures. You, Gon, and Killua had fun without holding back. All day you ran, caught fish, laughed. It was the best day.

But like all things, the day came to an end. And in place of the bright sun came the cold moon. The peach-colored sunset became a dark canvas, dotted with tiny sparkles — stars.

You returned home, ate, took baths. Routine, it seemed, but so pleasant and relaxing.

Mito-san called for Gon. She needed his help. And of course, Gon responded without hesitation. Meanwhile, you and Killua were outside. A gentle evening breeze played with the hair that kept falling into your eyes.

— You know, Killua suddenly broke the silence, — I keep thinking about what you said.

— What I said? you turned your gaze to him.

— Yeah. You told me that every person has the right to be happy.

— Oh, that. And what do you think?

Killua looked up at the stars.

— I think… he paused, searching for words. — I think I never knew what happiness was.
