Gon lays at home in his bed. It's been a long time since he and Killua parted. He doesn't wonder what Killua's up to--probably something to do with taking care of Alluka.
But he has to wonder. Why is Killua having such a hard time forgiving him over Neferpitou...?
Are you scared, Killua? I'm not a scary person, it's just...my feelings were strong. I couldn't see myself. I've been treated like garbage this whole adventure, but I ignored it because the adults were impressed. It was the only time I was ever selfish. But...you allowed yourself to be selfish plenty of times, so why is it any different?
Now, I can't do that anymore. I have to...fight, for the things I care about. And never leave them.
But if he thinks I'm a threat to Alluka, so be it.
I can't be anyone but myself, Gon thinks. I would protect Alluka if I could.
Killua might've forgotten about him, but he never forgets himself. That's why he never gets sad.
It doesn't matter where Killua is, it just matters that he's out there. Alive.
