In the shadowed alleys of the ever sprawling Meteor City, the Phantom Troupe has long adhered to a code: honour amongst thieves. For years, they have kept a wary yet respectful eye on a rival gang from the east, bound by an unspoken truce. But silence is shattered when Chrollo, their enigmatic leader, finds himself stripped of his Nen abilities.
In a desperate bid for survival, the Troupe reaches out to their rivals, remembering that one among them possesses the rare gift of Nen Exorcism.
What unfolds when two formidable leaders; one veiled in darkness, the other an embodiment of light, are drawn together.
A celestial being walks the earth, its heart wreathed in the smoldering embers of infernal fire, embodying the duality of existence. An angel, perhaps, but one with the cunning of a wolf in sheep's clothing, her name is (Y/N).

And all of my crimes
