His father, Stanley, worked on the railroads and was a deadbeat alcoholic who regularly beat his son. In Kuklinski’s interviews he often contributed his insanity and love for violence to his father.

    The act itself seemed...messy, at best, and maudlin at worst, a completely unnecessary distraction. Kurapika would be the first to admit he had Issues (capital I absolutely fucking intended), and that those aforementioned issues had perhaps colored his opinion on the whole thing, just a smidge.
