"You have it easy, huh, Killua? You're perfectly calm."
.
"Since she means nothing to you."

Killua's face bore a crestfallen expression, the weight of Gon's disdain echoing in his heart. The bond between them, once unbreakable, now seemed strained by the events that had transpired.
Tap.
"...?"
Amidst the emotional turmoil, Killua felt a light tap on his shoulder. Startled, he turned to find Meleoron, the chameleon chimera ant and their unlikely ally, standing beside him.

"Once I charged up, I'm heading back to Gon. You go see how Knuckle is doing."
Killua, determined to focus on the mission at hand, sought a nearby plug, drawing electricity to charge up his formidable power. The faint hum of energy surrounded him as he harnessed the electricity, sparks dancing around his hands.
"What about you guys?" Meleoron asked.
"Once Gon in that state, he won't budge. At worse, I'll go down in flames with him. I guess..." Killua muttered.
"..."
Meleoron observed the silver-haired boy with a cautious eye. Killua, sensing Meleoron's hesitation, turned to him with a playful gaze.
"I'm kidding!"
"We'll be fine. If anything, I'll just call out the magic word; 'Rin'! Just leave it to me!" he affirmed, his voice carrying a steely determination that contrasted with the turmoil beneath the surface.
'Are you sure?' Meleoron, though still doubtful, decided to keep silent. 'Then why... Did you look so sad back there?'

The chameleon chimera, perceptive to Killua's emotional state, couldn't ignore the previous sad look he had witnessed in the chamber with Gon. Doubt lingered in Meleoron's eyes as he assessed Killua's assurance that he was fine.
'You're sure about this? Can't you tell me? Or is it you don't you want to? Then, I won't ask for more.' With a decision made, Meleoron opted to keep his doubts to himself.
He nodded silently, acknowledging Killua's words, and proceeded to move forward with their mission. As he faded into the shadows, leaving Killua to charge up his strength, the chamber retained an air of uncertainty, a delicate balance between the electric power surging in the atmosphere and the silent complexities of the emotions that lingered beneath the surface.
