Cordis reluctantly handed his clothes over to Kurapika.
He reminded Kurapika over and over to be gentle when washing them by hand.
Just then, Cordis's expression changed, and he spoke with a grave look on his face.
"Kurapika, the Spider isn't dead. They're alive and well."
Those words instantly soured the cheerful atmosphere.
