Summary
'Every missed call sent a spike of guilt through Gon that made his limbs feel as if they were made of lead. Every time a text pinged, his arm hairs stood on end.
Even so, he could not bring himself to call Killua back. His body was too heavy, and his mind was molasses.'
-
Gon, alone on Whale Island, struggling to be a person after the Chimera Ant War, meeting Ging, and, most importantly, separating from Killua.

Living on a spaceship with an alien that exclusively speaks in song can really recontextualize karaoke for a guy.

Summary
My pride stings a little at being so underestimated by a species that couldn’t even outrun a particularly determined turtle if their life depended on it. Look, I’m no Sha’Carri Richardson, but I’m pretty proud of my seven-minute mile. I worked hard for it. I haven’t been able to handle myself like this since I was... well, since I left Earth.
“Y’know what? Let’s settle this once and for all. I could use an endurance test anyway. Good for my cardio.”
Dr. Bones perks up. “You’ll do a demonstration?”
“Absolutely. Give me two rest days and a warmup, then I’ll show you what the average human athlete can do.”
-----
AKA, Grace doesn't consider himself much of an athlete, but he's no slouch either. And he's got the physical prowess of his whole species to represent!
The xenobiology team, on the other hand, is horrified to learn what a 'persistence hunter' is.

Summary
The capsule touches down on Erid about a decade and a half after I do.
There's a message inside translated into fourteen different languages. Y'know, just in case I've taught myself - and then the Eridians - Afrikaans.
Hey, it reads. Can we have our ball back, please?
