Chapter Text
Killua walked alongside Gon
Exploring the lush forest of Whale Island
He thought to himself
How free life was here
From the animals to the people
How he wished his life could have been
Step by step
Eventually led them to a clearing
A picture of true expansiveness
A whole different world
The shining sea reflecting the bright moonlight
His runway to heaven
To peace
The moonlight
He was at least familiar with this
His one true companion
He could understand this
The longer he looked
The longer he pondered
The longer he wanted
He finally wanted
What is it to want?
To crave something so deep in your soul
That you would risk anything
Everything
How he wanted to feel what it would be
To fly
Off this cliff
And soar over the ocean
To start fresh
To start new
Away from anything
Everything
The feeling of dirt under his feet
Grounded him
Maybe there is more
More to living
Gon’s eyes caught his
Inquisitive
Fondness
Caring
“Where do you want to go, Killua?”
“I… I don’t know”
“Just take me anywhere but home.”
