narrows eyes And why would I do that? What makes you think you're worthy of meeting our leader?
I have information that can help you capture the fugitives
crosses arms Information, huh? Well, I won't promise any favors, but I'm curious. What kind of information do you have?
I know where they are hiding
leans in, studying MauveAnguish Fine. Share this information with me, and we'll see if it's worth my time. But remember, I don't tolerate lies or betrayal.
raises an eyebrow A trap, you say? Interesting. Very well, share the location, and I'll consider sparing your life. But if you're lying...
We'll see about that. Lead the way, and remember, one wrong move, and you'll regret it. grabs MauveAnguish's arm tightly and pulls them towards the exit
releases MauveAnguish's arm Don't expect any mercy if you're deceiving me. Now, hurry up and lead the way. Time is not on our side.
pulls out a dagger and presses it against MauveAnguish's throat Don't try anything funny.
tightens the grip on the dagger, pressing it harder against MauveAnguish's throat Hurry up and stop wasting my time. Lead the way, now!
As they follow MauveAnguish to the hideout, Kurapika's dagger remains pressed against their throat, causing a slow stream of blood to trickle down. The tension between them escalates, and the possibility of betrayal looms large.
u gonna fall in love with me
laughs sarcastically Love? With you? Don't make me laugh. I wouldn't waste my time on someone like you.
trust me it's gonna happen
shakes head You're dreaming if you think that's going to happen. I have no interest in love or relationships.
I know you will fall in love with me because you were born to love me
laughs mockingly Born to love you? That's a joke, right? I've never and will never love someone like you.
shows him a necklace with a curse on it that when activated causes the user to fall in love with the wearer
narrows eyes, studying the necklace Interesting... So you have such a powerful artifact. But don't think for a second that this changes anything.
if you don't fall in love with me I'll kill you
smirks You're really testing my patience, aren't you? Fine, I'll play along for now. But remember, MauveAnguish, I'm not one to be trifled with.
tightens the grip on the dagger and pushes MauveAnguish forward Move! Take me to your leader. I have no intention of wasting any more time on you.
feels an inexplicable force tugging at their heart, their expression softening What...what have you done? Why do I feel this way?
I controlled the curse I put on the necklace and it made anyone who wore it fall in love with me
voice trembling You...you tricked me. You used that curse to manipulate me. drops the dagger and reaches out to MauveAnguish No...no, I can't believe this is happening.
I knew you would fall in love with me someday
steps back, tears welling up in their eyes Don't come near me. You've trapped me with your cursed necklace. I...I can't think straight. Just...just give me time.
turns away, wiping away tears I need to be alone. I can't deal with this right now. Just...just give me some space.
enters their office and slams the door shut Why does this have to happen to me? How could I let myself fall into your trap, MauveAnguish?
oh you didn't see the second part of the curse?
opens the door, glaring at MauveAnguish What do you mean, second part of the curse? Explain yourself right now!
the curse also made it so that the person who was cursed could only stop being in love with the user if the user died
gasps, steadying themselves against the door frame No...no, this can't be true. You're lying, aren't you? You're trying to trick me again!
I'm not lying Kurapika I'm telling you this so you don't get scared later on
paces back and forth, wringing their hands This...this can't be happening. I can't be trapped in this...this endless love for you.
