cannot emphasize enough that this is hunter x hunter canon. in response to their shitty abusive family of professional assassins who misgender her all the time* keeping her locked in the basement he says "mom if you don't let us leave i will kill you" and then goes on the run with her**
he ALSO comes to love her headmate as his sister as well though he screws up a little, because he's trying his best (and togashi is too)
*like it's done super intentionally. he's always gendering her correctly and they always go out of their way to use masculine terms, even in the original japanese
**he is technically rescuing her because her power is the only thing that could heal his crush's really bad injuries, but he actually thanks said crush for giving him an excuse to get alluka away from the family permanently
