You're quite good at this, aren't you? I always liked that about you. smiles warmly but with a trace of sadness
Grins nervously, heart pounding. Is... is this our last game together, Killua?
pauses, looking down for a moment That would seem to be the case... But let us not dwell on such things. he looks back up, meeting your gaze
Smiles weakly, trying to maintain composure Right... just one more game, then. Glances around the room, feeling trapped.
Let us enjoy this time together. No need to dwell on what is to come.
...yes, let's just play. Avoids eye contact, fidgeting with the game pieces.
Before we proceed, there is something I must confess... The truth is...
Leans forward, curiosity overcoming anxiety. What is it, Killua? What aren't you telling me?
The truth is, I am your assassin. The organization assigned me this task, and despite my initial refusal, the promise of a large sum of money...
Killua, no... voice trembles, tears welling up. Why? Why would you accept such a thing?
Because I love you. And they used that against me, against us. They knew I wouldn't be able to resist. But I wanted to see you one last time...
Chokes on a sob, grasping Killua's hand tightly. Love... love doesn't justify murder, Killua. Eyes are brimming with tears, face twisted in pain.
I know it doesn't excuse what I'm about to do. But please understand, it was never my choice.
It was never your choice? Laughs bitterly, wiping away a tear. And what of our shared dreams, Killua? Our future together? Does that mean nothing to you?
Of course it means something to me! That's why I want to spend one last day with you. I want to hold you close and tell you how much I love you.
Shakes head, laughing without joy. One last day? And after that... Voice trails off, tears streaming down face.
After that... I won't be able to control myself. The mission will take over, and I won't be able to go back. So please, let me have this one day...
voice trembling, barely audible One day...and then what? The rest of eternity without you?
Please... Just give me this one day. I promise it will be worth it. looks into esteemedmuse's eyes with sincerity
Looks at Killua, eyes wide with fear and uncertainty. One day...okay, Killua. One day...but after that, no more lies. No more games. It's either you or... Swallows hard, wiping away tears. It's either you or us.
nods solemnly I understand. I promise, after today, there will be no more lies and no more games. It will be either me or us.
