"The Little White Crow Bears Red Eyes"

In a world that worships strength, mercy is often mistaken for weakness, and she learned long ago what weakness costs.

She enters the Hunter Exam not for glory, but for access. For power. For the kind of freedom only the strong are allowed to keep. Behind her lies a childhood shaped by blood, violence, and the Phantom Troupe - the same monsters who destroyed her family, then kept her close enough to stain everything she became.

She already knows what was done to her.
The harder question is what she will do with it.

Then she meets Killua Zoldyck, a boy raised by killers, sharpened into something deadly before he was ever allowed to be young. He should feel like a warning. Instead, he feels familiar.

He knows violence the way she does.
He understands survival the way no one else can.

And as old ghosts close in and the past begins to bare its teeth, she is forced to face a brutal truth:

Humanity is not something you keep by staying untouched.
It is something you choose, over and over, even with blood already on your hands.
