[Allen has finished with the "true form" effect and concerned parties have alternatively fed him, made him cry, or made him go to sleep. In any case he is resting for the night, and Link has grabbed a tabbed notebook and a pen and gone to sit outside to write.]

No shit.

[boundbydevotion]

--Or a more thorough explanation of what is happening to him, or an answer as to why... But I suppose the dead can't answer questions.

None of this is anything you do not already know. The only one who was surprised was him.

[hallefuckinlujah]

"Why," huh...

Mad at me for his sake? Your Order doesn't give him any answers either. So I guess you kids are winging it.

[counting to ten and uncurling his hands from around his notebook]

[boundbydevotion]

I have no reason to be angry on his behalf. You asked how I felt he is coping; I believe he needs help, or something to hold on to.

[hallefuckinlujah]

. . .Ha ha ha! Well well, look at you, what a reaction. Temper temper, Inspector Junior. You'll be on his side at this rate.

[boundbydevotion]

We are not on opposing sides to begin with.

[hallefuckinlujah]

Nah, 'course not.

Hey, it's like you said. You pretty much nailed it. But the Order won't help, I can't. There isn't anything I haven't said to him that could help him now.

He needs to go by what he's still got, that brat. Counting on what's gone isn't going to do him any good.

[boundbydevotion]

[tired...]

[hallefuckinlujah]

Seems like what he's always got right now is you, huh?

[boundbydevotion]

. . .



I am not of much real use in this regard. It is not my place to attempt to provide stability.

[hallefuckinlujah]

Ah? What's that cute girlfriend face for then, huh?

[boundbydevotion]

--cute--Just what do you think you are implying, General Cross Marian?!

[hallefuckinlujah]

Guess you got a point, you not knowing when your next order's gonna be to take his head off.

But can you really do that?

[boundbydevotion]

[Nof course]

[...Is this something I need to consider seriously at this time?] [If not now, when?] [I must rest assured that any course of action commanded by Central is in the interest of saving humanity] [It's too early] [There's no one here to--]


I can't--...answer that question, General.

[hallefuckinlujah]

. . .

[draaag on his cigarette, exhale]

He's a hell of a brat, huh.

[boundbydevotion]

[mental curse is censored]

[boundbydevotion]

Excuse my candidness, but did you come out here just to give me a headache?

[hallefuckinlujah]

[snicker]

Well shit, you'd have to be damn near inhuman not to at least hesitate, don't beat yourself up about it.

If you're gonna watch his ass until the day comes, why not? Be some stability. Like he's not holdin' onto you without your permission already, right?

[boundbydevotion]

[..........]

[hallefuckinlujah]

Ah? Mad it makes sense?

[boundbydevotion]

No, of course not. I appreciate the advice, General.

[hallefuckinlujah]

No sweat.

[Flips open notebook. THERE ARE STILL FLAWS IN THIS PLAN (such as me still feeling like a heel when I INEVITABLY have to BETRAY his trust) but I suppose it is serviceable. Sets out to write up a 'tentative course of action']
