Summary
Kikyou has told and repeated it to her son countless times, so many in fact that he knows it by heart, it and the exact sentences she spoke it within. She sat him down outside and she pat his head and combed through his hair, occasionally tugging, harshly, to correct his posture. She'd said nobody but her was allowed to raise him, to teach him, to love him. To touch him. Compliment him. So he kept coming back to her for praise, which he never got.
Praising was reserved to Killua. Objects saw no praise.

Summary
"If you can’t defeat Shoot, you must stay out of Gon’s life."
This is what Bisky told him, the thing that haunts Killua still, that echoes in his ears when he lies paralyzed in the dirt at Shoot's feet, when the tentative future he’d hoped for himself falls to pieces around him.
Killua will protect Gon for the thirty days Gon can’t use Nen. And then Killua will leave him forever.
It’s fitting, then, that that’s how long Killua Zoldyck has left to live.
