Not bad for a day's work, huh?
I prefer c.A.T when he isn’t beaten and bloody
Well, maybe next time I won't hold back so much. gently brushes his hand against the scars on his face Don't worry, I'll try to keep you out of trouble.
he looks at killua still confused why he went from trying to kill him to wanting to help him
Well, let me give you a crash course then. See, I used to be like you - an assassin with no qualms about taking lives. But then I met someone...
Someone who made you stop killing?
Yeah, someone who showed me there's another way. pauses, a sad look in his eyes They... they didn't make it out alive. But I couldn't bring myself to..
…Kill again…So your a good guy now,I see.Did you fall for them?Or did they preach some moral crap to you?
I guess you could say I fell for them. They were different from anyone else I had ever met before - kind, gentle, and genuinely caring.
Caring? For you? I find that hard to believe.
Oh, don't get me wrong. They didn't coddle me or anything like that. But they saw something in me that I couldn't see in myself at the time - potential.
Potential for what exactly? To become a good guy? Or just to become less terrible?
Both, I suppose. But more than that, they saw potential for me to find happiness. And... they helped me to find that happiness too.
Really, then how do you explain the scars?I’m guessing some where from before they showed up, but the fresh one by your eye..That was today wasn’t it? Did he manage to land a blow before you ended him?
looks away, a hint of guilt in his eyes Yeah, that scar... It's from today. I didn't manage to finish him off before he got a lucky hit in.
So, despite all your power and skill you only barely managed to take down an enemy with weak aim.Did he surprise you?Or were you distracted?
I'd like to say I was distracted, but the truth is... I'm still not fully adjusted to being the hero.
Ah.I see.You are still adjusting…
Yeah, I am. Being a hero isn't as glamorous as it seems. There's a lot of pressure and responsibility that comes with it.
It also doesn’t pay well either unless you get paid extra
That's true. Being a hero doesn't come with a fat paycheck. But you know what? Money isn't everything.
