About Kurapika not visiting Gon in the hospital.

It seems like a lot of people were disappointed because Kurapika didn’t visit Gon in the hospital.. However, when Kurapika later heard about Gon's condition from Mizai, he asked if there was anything he could do to help, suggesting that he didn't realize how bad Gon's condition had become. He might even have considered using his holy chain to help.

Personally, I don't think Togashi intended to portray Kurapika as someone who doesn't care about his friends. Rather, It seems like Togashi wanted to delay Kurapika's appearance a bit, which ended up making him look like a terrible friend.

But I heard some people say this changed Kurapika’s character. What do you think about that?
