Moonlight

Longhi's Transparent Words — Moonlight Act conjures pen and paper for limited-term contracts: signatories can be loaned her ability or bound by restrictions, enforceable by a week of forced Zetsu. Its absolute condition — voluntary signature after full, truthful disclosure — makes her the one guard on the ship who cannot lie about her terms.

Longhi reveals she is Beyond Netero's biological child — one of many, born of fake marriages Beyond arranged with Kakin officers for thirty years, raised to become princes' guards. She learned the truth only when her inherited traits failed to add up.

Longhi lifts her tongue to show a sealed curse — malevolent Nen set to release on her death, unpurgeable, planted by her own father. She and her half-sister Makaha are two of ten 'strong curse sacrifices'; the targets, she believes, are the princes. Beyond has been rigging the succession contest since before it existed.

Longhi rejects Kurapika's Benjamin theory: her greedy father would not spend decades of preparation on someone unrelated. Oito confirms the loophole — eligibility requires only being a 'child of a legal wife' of Nasubi. Longhi's contract condition follows: find Beyond's child among the princes. Her true plan: kill them herself.

In his Tier 1 cell, between banter with Kanzai about writing his own novel, Beyond says there is someone he wants to talk to and asks for a meeting to be arranged. The caged figurehead starts moving pieces.
