They’ve reached the soup, and Hisoka is revising his personal Scale of Absolute Evil. It bears revision every so often; after all, he’s still very young. He may have more by way of emotional experience than his age would normally permit, but the world’s a big and complex place. Evil can still surprise him.
This is possibly my favorite paragraph of the whole story.
He’s added some important lines on the scale since then, of course; you learn things as you gain experience. Now there are Medical Personnel Who Tell Kids That Something Won’t Hurt When They Know Better. People That Hurt Tsuzuki (subset: carelessly). People That Hurt Tsuzuki (subset: deliberately). Muraki. Person Who Invented Office Parties, Hisoka decides, probably belongs somewhere between Medical Personnel and Father. The marker line can hardly go lower; there’s malice involved here.
My second favorite part. I got sidetracked for a while trying to image how MANY subsets there actually are for People That Hurt Tsuzuki. Then I started writing a list, but it got too long to go on with.
