It's been almost four years since Gon and Killua had parted ways, both boys now nearly legal adults. The two have kept contact over the years, though, they still slowly drifted apart.

Killua is still traveling with Alluka and Nanika, mostly to evade Illumi, who is still obsessed as ever, and wants Nanika's powers for himself. He loves his sisters dearly, but deep inside, he feels empty, like there's something missing, something that he doesn't have the courage to gain.

Meanwhile, on Whale island, Gon is getting ready to graduate from homeschool. Ging has been gone for a few months, he always disappears without warning every few months to hunt for yet another thing that he doesn't have with Kite and the crew. While Gon was used to it, it still weighs heavily on his shoulders, he's never sure if Ging will leave for good again. He had regained some use of his nen, but the lack of ability on top of school is what made Ging decide to leave Gon behind, though he was getting better at being a father.

What Ging didn't know, along with the rest of his family, is that Gon was feeling awful about everything. He was still powerless, weak, and unworthy. His dad is still leaving him behind, and worst of all, his best friend is slowly slipping away from him, and Gon knew that he was the reason why.
