Inner Voice / Recap

—————

On the boat heading to the exam location

[Oh dear sister, you know if you had let me out I could have used my wire techniques to save the boy. In fact I could have saved him from facing any more mistakes and horrors later on in his life. He'd have passed through the gates of death so easily too! And all you'd have to do is say the word!]

[N-Never! No matter how hard you push me I won't let you out! I will continue to suppress you with everything I have!]

From behind Mary came the sounds of footsteps, they were light, like the sound of a child. "Mary! Guess what? The captain said we all passed his exam!"

At the ghost town

[Hah! You swear on your life that you'll never let me wrap my webs around you ever again? I already have you idiot! Where exactly did you learn your wire techniques!? Where did you learn any of your techniques in general!? In fact where did you even gain the ability to take control!? That's right! Me! Everything, everything you do is because I caused it.]

[No! I'm the one who trained! I'm the reason why uncle didn't ki-]

[Now now, no need to get so angry sister. Just take a look, you've gotten so angry your nails cut into your own hand. And here I thought you were smart, what if the others saw your hand? How would the react to it? These thing you need to consider as a tool, because how else would I be able to get close to them in order to play with them!?] laughed Bloody Mary.

"Is something wrong Mary?" Asked Gon.

In the forest where the Kiriko lived

[A diamond web? How pathetic, why not use something more deadly? After all that beast is a murderer sister. Why should you simply apprehend it when you could end all future murders right now? What's the harm is killing the woman along with the beast to save more? Isn't the total future lives saved worth far more than the one life taken? Come on. Come on! COME ON!]

[A-and what if that beast is the examiner!? What if that attempted murder wasn't even an attempted murder? What if the man is still alive? What then sister?]

[You keep asking what if, but you know don't you? Doubting yourself won't do you anything good. Deep down you know. That lingering fear of your stems from your own inability to let go and believe. So why not start believing the person closest to you, your sister? Why not end this farce in a flash?]

[T-that's...]

Just sounding a few seconds away Mary could hear Gon's voice. "Kiriko! Let her go!"

At the underground tunnel when Tonpa had first given them the poisoned cans of orange juice.

[Maaaaary. Come ooooon! This guy just tried to poison us and your dear friends. Would it truly be so bad if he were to, Disappear!?]

[So what if he did? I was able to warn them in time! If nothing came of it does he really deserve to die sister? Plus it was only a laxative!]

[That way of thinking could get someone killed. Think of it this way! Corpses can't hurt others after they've been used! Not to mention, who knows how many people have fallen victim to his scheme? How many times has he done this? How many times will he continue to do this? How many will fail or even possible due to his bad intentions? So let me just have A LITTLE FUN!]

"Well I don't think he really had any bad intentions." said Gon. "If he did wouldn't he give himself away more easily?"

During the First Phase of the exam

[Would you look at that Mary? Another murderer! Isn't it so delightful!? Wouldn't it be truly exciting if you became "friends" with him? He just radiates that feeling of danger doesn't he? It just makes my blood boil with rage and disgust. How horrendous thar someone so young would kill another person right? Oh wait aren't YOUR hands stained with blood as well?]

[N-No I've never killed anyone! It was you!]

[Really now? Isn't this your body sister? And because it's your body, shouldn't you have had full control over what happened to your mother? Shouldn't you have had full control of what happened to your friend? Or is it really my body, and if so why not return ownership to me?]

"No it isn't!" Gon shouted out.

At the Swindlers Swamp

[See! Even Killua is worried about him. So why not kill two birds with one stone and let me out? I promise I'll behave myself! In fact I swear that I won't hurt your precious, little, friends. Besides don't you think you've bitten off more than you can chew at this point? What has it been now? Two years of you trying to quell my overflowing bloodlust. You know full well that those corpses I've been experimenting with aren't enough. So let me have fun, let me collect my toll, just this once.]

[D-do you truly swear to keep your promise sister?] asked a tired Mary.

[I do, on behalf of my honor as a H̴̪̫̐ṵ̶͠m̸̳͔̕a̴̝̺͘n̶̰͕̓] Smiled a dark being.

I’m still having a bit of trouble with descriptions and I was short on time today, so I’ll end up releasing that chapter Monday. This shorter chapter was meant for later on in the story but it doesn’t change much in all honesty. Apologies for keeping you all waiting.
