After news of the massacre aired, Kurapika saw the victims’ clothing and fled in shock, while someone watching him confirmed his identity.

• A hired information broker pulled Kurapika into an alley and confirmed the news report about the Kurta Clan massacre.
• The broker said 126 bodies had been found and identified the Phantom Troupe as the culprits, who had taken the clan’s scarlet eyes.
