Rice and Bharate stand guard outside Room 1007. In the servants' quarters, Kanjidol approaches a bunk where two of Luzurus' bodyguards sleep. He checks that the upper guard is asleep, leaps onto the bunk, clamps the guard's mouth with his right hand, and drives his knife up through his jaw. Kurapika thinks of the friends who would surely rush to protect a prince — Gon and Killua — and Oito offers her Yamato relative's post office for a coded letter no one can trace.
