Hmm... Maybe I'll do that until I can figure out a way to make money, [Gon laughs, grabbing the sides of the ladder. despite the situation, Gon doesn't think of them being apart as being alone, really—he's lucky Killua's here, and he's voluntarily spending time with Gon, even if it's undoubtedly probably super weird for him. and uncomfortable. it's not like they won't still talk, even if they aren't physically together. and Gon's sure they'll sometimes meet up, at least.

but that's not what he's here to worry about. right.]

Well, what else can I do? [his shoulders drop a little as he holds the ladder—then they're up again.] Besides, you were the one yelling at me about goofing off!!

[why did Gon even go for a ladder when he has no idea where anything is?? he's obviously so unnatural in a library]
