   We quietly entered the apartment of where Gon lives, surprisingly it's not that bad. I'm still questioning myself on why I'm doing this after helping Eren. I looked at my skateboard and smiled. Getting interrupted in thought when Gon spoke.

  "Well, welcome to my place so-called home. Sadly." He deflated, opening up the door to reveal the inside of the standard complex.

  "Do you have family that you can live with at all?"

  "No. I do have a family but, they are on the other side of the world. In the United States? I think it's what it called, I'm not completely sure." Raising a brow and scratched his messy black hair. It wasn't like that before but I'm not gonna ask.

   My eyes widen in surprise of this sudden new information. I hope he won't mind to much about this topic."Oh, I never heard of that place before. Sounds interesting. How come you want me here anyways Gon?"

  Gon lazily shrugs. "Just wanted some company. Since I have no one else anymore, you seem like a pretty nice person to hang out with."

   Sudden heat rushed to my cheeks when I heard these words coming from someone I barely know. I wasn't able to say anything so I just stayed silent.

   "You don't have to talk constantly, it's fine. Do you wanna know more about my past to understand instead of the false rumors?" His broken tone now sounded serious. I shivered of the sudden, change, why? I have no clue.

   Is he really gonna tell me about his past that hurt him? I guess I can hear about it before he changes his mind.

"Sure."

   Gon was fully back against the couch arms crossed. "Alright, you are the only person I can trust moreover than others. I'll tell you everything..." he took a deep breath and let it out slowly.."this happened when I was still living on this very Island. I was only 12 years old at the time, living with my aunt named Mito-san, grandma and my mother. Ging, who supposedly was my father..."

   "The famous hunter? Ging Freecs?" Asked in shock, rudely interrupting in the story, but Gon didn't seem fazed by it thankfully.

  "Yes. I don't think of him as a father since he left me when I was only an infant. Hated him, since he never came to visit. But one day on an early Saturday afternoon, we were just having a normal picnic on a hill all happy and having a good time. Suddenly he came out of nowhere with no warning, he shot my mother. Blood splattered and the others started to scream. I didn't even make a sound or any movement. Just staring at my mothers' corpses lying on the blanket in blood. Completely lost in thought, a bullet hit my left eye. That's when I started to scream in pain and went unconscious. The sounds that I was able to hear were two loud bangs and footsteps walking away. That's all I can remember."

  "Wait, your father killed your family?! But why?" I asked without second thought. I was gonna take it back for going to far but Gon put a hand to stop me.

   Gon just nodded. "Yes. Luckily I was able to survive because I had a thick skull to prevent the bullet from completely killing me. Though, I still have no clue why he did this. We didn't do anything wrong, I'm so lost." He sulks. Sinking into the couch more.

  "Now I understand. Is there anything I can do to help about Ging?" Glancing at Gon who had a painful look plastered on his face.
