[The tiger looks at Ace. He felt bad for both of them. He could see some of the vengeful rage Hisoka carried, and at the same time, he felt some of Tsuzuki's pain in his voice. Why did humans suffer some much?]
I wouldn't say he likes everyone. He just sees more in people than just the surface or what they've done. Call it foolish hope or misplaced faith, but Tsuzuki more wants to save everyone. Pain, sorrow, helplessness, he tries so hard to help people, even if it bites him. Muraki... I think Tsuzuki thinks Muraki wants him to defeat him because he's strong enough. The guy shoulders a lot more than he can carry too often. Even his twelve can't stop him from that. It would take a human's touch to heal his spirit, the only one he doesn't worry about...
