Kai and Killua return to Yorknew City with Kurapika, who is shaken by his victory over Uvogin and his realization of his own hatred and vengeance.
He feels conflicted and guilty, as he remembers Uvogin's last words and his own cold smile. He wonders if he has become a monster, driven by his thirst for revenge. He stares blankly at the window, lost in his thoughts.
"Kurapika, please listen to us. We're your friends, we're here for you. You don't have to do this alone. You don't have to do this at all. Revenge is not the answer, it will only hurt you more. You've already killed one of them, isn't that enough? Do you really want to kill them all? Do you think that will make you happy? Do you think that will honor your clan? Do you think that will make them proud?" Kai said concerning about Kurapika's situation.
Kurapika does not respond, he keeps staring at the window. He feels a surge of emotions in his chest, but he does not know how to express them. He feels anger and sadness, but also relief and satisfaction. He feels pain and regret, but also pride and justice. He feels empty and lost, but also full and found.
He does not know what to do, what to say, what to feel. He does not know who he is, or who he wants to be. He does not know if he can stop, or if he wants to stop. He does not know anything anymore.
Gon talking with urgency and fear, trying to persuade him to leave: "Kurapika, we have to go. Now. The Phantom Troupe are after us, and they won't stop until they find us and kill us. They are too strong for us, we can't fight them. We're outnumbered and outmatched. We're lucky that we survived this long, but our luck won't last forever. We have to get out of here, while we still can."
Kai talking with reason and logic, trying to convince him to leave: "Kurapika, we've done what we came here for. We've got the auction items, we've got the money, we've got everything we need. We don't have to stay here any longer. We don't have to risk our lives for nothing. We should escape while we can, and find a safe place to hide. We should think about our future, not our past."
Kurapika: "I'm not afraid of the Phantom Troupe. I can fight them, and I can win. I have the power of my scarlet eyes, and the power of my chains. They are my weapons, and my allies. They give me the strength and the skill to defeat them. They are the only ones who can understand me, and help me."
Kai: "Kurapika, don't be foolish. You can't fight them, and you can't win. You don't have the power of your scarlet eyes, and you don't have the power of your chains. They are your curses, and your enemies. They take away your strength and your skill, and they make you lose yourself. They are the only ones who can hurt you, and harm you."
Gon: "Yeah, Kurapika, don't be crazy. You don't need to fight them, and you don't need to win. You don't need the power of your scarlet eyes, and you don't need the power of your chains. You need us, and we need you. We are your friends, and your allies. We give you strength and skill, and we make you happy. We are the only ones who can understand you, and help you."
Kurapika: "I haven't accomplished my goal yet. I still have to find the rest of them, and kill them all. Especially Chrollo, their leader. He is the one who ordered the massacre of my clan, he is the one who stole their eyes, he is the one who ruined my life. He is the one I hate the most, he is the one I want to kill the most. He is my ultimate target, and my ultimate enemy."
Kai: "Kurapika, please stop. You have accomplished your goal already. You have killed one of them, and that's enough. Especially Uvogin, their strongest member. He was the one who killed your clan, he was the one who took their eyes, he was the one who destroyed your life. He was the one you hated the most, he was the one you wanted to kill the most. He was your ultimate target, and your ultimate enemy."
Killua: "Yeah, Kurapika, please stop. You don't have to kill them all, and that's too much. Especially Chrollo, their leader. He is not worth it, he is not important, he is not special. He is just another guy who leads a bunch of thieves and killers. He is not someone you should hate so much, he is not someone you should want to kill so much. He is not your ultimate target, and he is not your ultimate enemy."
Kurapika: "I can't escape from this. This is my fate, and my responsibility. I have to face them, and end this once and for all. I have to avenge my clan, and honor their memory. I have to fulfill their wish, and reclaim their eyes. I have to do this, for myself, and for them. This is my choice, and my duty."
Gon: "Kurapika, you can escape from this. This is not your fate, or your responsibility. You don't have to face them, or end this once and for all. You don't have to avenge your clan, or honor their memory. You don't have to fulfill their wish, or reclaim their eyes. You don't have to do this, for yourself, or for them. This is not your choice, or your duty."
Killua: "Yeah, Kurapika, you can escape from this. This is your obsession, and your curse. You shouldn't face them, or end this once and for all. You shouldn't avenge your clan, or honor their memory. You shouldn't fulfill their wish, or reclaim their eyes. You shouldn't do this, for yourself, or for them. This is not something you want to do."
Kurapika: "Listen, I appreciate your friendship and support, but I have to do this alone. This is my personal matter, and you should not get involved in it. I don't want to drag you into my conflict, and I don't want to put you in danger. I care about you, and I don't want to lose you."
Kai: "But Kurapika, we care about you too. We don't want to lose you either. We don't want you to go through this alone. We want to help you, we want to be with you. We're your friends, and we're here for you."
Killua: "Yeah, Kurapika, don't be stupid. You can't take on the Phantom Troupe by yourself. They're too strong for you, even with your scarlet eyes and your chains. You need us, and we need you. We're a team, and we stick together. We're your friends, and we're not going anywhere."
Kurapika: "I know, I know. And I'm grateful for that. But this is different. This is something I have to do by myself. This is something I owe to my clan, and to myself. This is something I can't let go of, or share with anyone. This is my destiny, and my duty."
Kai: "But Kurapika, this is not your destiny, or your duty. This is your obsession, and your curse. This is something that will consume you, and destroy you. This is something you have to let go of, or at least share with someone. This is not something you have to do by yourself."
Killua: "Yeah, Kurapika, wake up. You're not doing this for your clan, or for yourself. You're doing this for your hatred, and your vengeance. You're doing this for something that will never make you happy, or satisfied. You're doing this for something that will only hurt you more, and make you suffer more. You're doing this for nothing."
Kurapika: "I'm sorry, but I have to go. I'll contact you when I'm done with this. Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I'm sorry for everything I have put you through. Take care of yourselves, and be happy. I hope to see you again, and I'll always remember you. You are my best friends."
Gon: "Kurapika, don't go. Please, stay with us. You don't have to thank us, or apologize to us. We're here for you, and we're happy with you. We want to see you again, and we'll always remember you. You are our friend, and we love you."
Kai: "Kurapika, come on. Don't be stupid. Stay with us, and forget about this. We don't care about losing you, or what you do. You don't have to thank us, or apologize to us. We're not here for you, and we're not happy with you. We don't want to see you again, and we'll forget about you. You are not our friend, and we hate you."
Kurapika: "Kai, stop it. Don't say that. You don't mean that. You're just trying to make me stay. But I can't. I have to go. Goodbye."
Gon: "Kurapika, wait. Don't leave us. Please, don't do this."
