Incident report · Chapter 388

Reflection

Voyage day 9–10

Kurapika's awakening assembly line runs behind closed doors: borrowing Bill's enhancement through Stealth Dolphin, he semi-coercively opens students' nodes — Ladiolus, Maor, Yuri, Satobi. Furykov confirms no manipulation; Babimyna inventories the right hand's growing résumé. Bill explains why he stays despite being Beyond's plant, and Tubeppa correctly deduces Salé-salé was murdered and that she is next. A fourth aura rumbling shakes the block.

Event sequence
  1. Nen revealDay 10Canonical
    The awakening assembly line

    Behind closed doors, Kurapika borrows Bill's growth-enhancement ability through Stealth Dolphin and 'attacks' students with it, semi-coercively opening their nodes: Ladiolus, Maor, Yuri, and Satobi emerge visibly changed. Furykov confirms no manipulation; Babimyna quietly catalogues what Kurapika's right hand can do.

    Consequences (2)
    • Tubeppa authorizes deeper alliance talks and more students
    • Rival camps' guards begin becoming real Nen users
  2. ConversationDay 10Canonical
    Bill explains why he stays

    Bill admits Beyond stationed him aboard, but guarding a baby was his own choice; Vincent's murder of Sandra and Kurapika's honesty with Oito turned a coward into a resolved one. The room's most quietly loaded loyalty is put on record.

  3. InvestigationDay 10Canonical
    Tubeppa reads Salé-salé's death correctly

    The Fifth Prince reasons from the missed banquet performance that her brother was killed, and from the soldier rotation that she is Benjamin's next target. She starts building countermeasures and concludes she needs a partner like Kurapika.
