The desolation of meteor city [Hunter x Hunter Phantom troupe]

The old days- Filler

Three weeks were passed since the kurta massacre, things were normal again, I was with the boss and machi.
"Machi who was the number 4 before me?" I asked out of boredom while eating a green apple.
"Omokage, I wasn't able to understand him at all, cold detached, the spider wasn't his interest" she replied,
"Did he got killed?" I asked,
"Yeah a clown killed him, though he didn't seem interested in joining the troupe" she replied.
"A clown? For real?" I asked incredulously,
"Hisoka, he is this psycho clown who loves fighting strong people" she replied like if that was the most normal thing in the world,
"Machi you know, I've never asked this before but I've always wondered, how dis you guys discovered nen?", she looked at me and then replied "Well the boss taught me, Franklin like uvo and feitan received the fire baptism, I don't know how the boss discovered nen, maybe like kortopi he is a nen genius, Danchou taught nen also to Nobunaga and pakunoda." She said,
"Well I'ce never thought that you were actually willing to give me a response" I said a bit puzzled.
"You know machi I learned nen at some point around 3 years ago, as long as I know I've never gotten fire baptized, probably I became a nen user because of strict life conditions, and because there are a lot of people here in the ryuusegai who are nen users and use their nen without restrictions everywhere whenever they want, probably after staying in contact with various nen users and thing infused with nen I got stimulated and the life conditions made my fighting spirit even more accentuated." I explained, "Yeah that does make sense in a way, though I don't know why would someone choose an ability like yours, it's hard to master, and how is possible for someone to bond with matter? It isn't specific at all?" She explained,
"Well in the old days I used to be some kind dorky little scientist you know, in a way deep down I still am" I said smiling.

My mind was traveling to the old days in meteor city, old sunny days, so nostalgic.
When I was a cheeky and brutally honest little kid, the little scientist who preferred imagination and reading instead of playing like others, The only games that I like to play were football(soccer) or at least the poor version of it and chess, even though I never found a chessboard, Now that I think about it one of the elders explained me how to play it.
That was so beautiful, how is it possible? Being in such a hell but still be so happy and careless, being a child is awesome, I still like to help little kids on the streets, giving them some food or a ball to play.
Man since when I am such a pussy? Since when nostalgia is my strongest emotion? Since when I miss the old days that much?
When I stopped being little Tenshi? The cute tricky scientist?
Ahaha I still remember the faces of the adults when they talked to me when I was a little child , I was so brutal and honest, basically even if someone like uvo tried to speak to me I was rude and bossy, like could you please be fast and direct I have more important things to do than dealing with you damn normies, could you imagine a 4 years old do something like that to uvo or franklin?
I remember when I told to a tall muscular dude that I didn't have all that time to deal with people, or when I told to that poor mute old lady something like: well if you never say anything then I am never going to return here wasting my time. (The crazy thing is that these are real things that I did as a little child, I was bossy smart and arrogant for real since I started talkin, I loved to rekt others but I did that without even a little bit of malice)
Ahaha I swear I would love to see a kid like that, like how I was, so bossy and arrogant.

Now I am not like that anymore, actually I stopped being like that when I was like 6 or 7,
Actually I changed a lot, I wonder if someone does remember me, I wonder if there is someone waiting for me somewhere in this world. I wonder if I will stay with the troupe until I die.

"You are actually scary, you have been looking at me smiling for 2 minutes, and most of all you stopped eating which is even scarier and unusual" machi said,
"Aww, I was just thinking at the past, remembering nostalgic moments" I said deadpanned,
"Good old day in the worst place in the world uh" she said looking up,
"Yeah I have a lot of good old memories and nostalgia too" she said while looking at the roof .

She pulled out her phone as she was clearly searching for something, I didn't want to bother her and I didn't want to seem invasive so I just stood there silently eating my apple.
"Look" she said, "This picture was taken a couple of months before you joined" she explained.

"Well nothing too different, maybe the boss and shalnark, and you and paku with different style of outfit" I said while looking at the picture,
"Taking a photo of us was number 8 idea, the one in the back was omokage, everything was better before you joined" she said probably joking, probably.
"That's harsh, I love how nobu and uvo are trying to look like cool gang members, Phinks has one of the dumbest face I've ever seen, shalnark seems to be concerned about something perhaps about nobu or about number 8, franklin is just doing thumbs up at the wall, and feitan is like it's not how it seems I don't know this guys. " I said jokingly,
"Well that was the past" machi replied.
