[ To want something enough? That's terrifying in its own right, Kurapika thinks. Is that the kind of ability that has control over its user rather than the other way around? Is that an ability that one could ever really have full control over?

[ No worrying about how she'll hurt someone with it, far from the worries Kurapika and Vayne both carry on their shoulders. ]
At least... we know how big of a threat she could be now. We're at least aware of who we're dealing with on some level, even if we don't know everything we'd like to.

... We've talked a lot about Miss Makima so far, huh.

[ He can't quite his finger on it, the way she offers them baked goods and delicious food alongside an execution, or the way she looks downtrodden with each and every killing. There's something distinctly off. ]
Does she even want to go through all of this? She seems more shaken than some of us, sometimes.
