A black page "Ah, not yet." "What am I feeling?" "Something deep inside my chest is burning. So dry...."
A manor and barley field swaying in the wind.
Nea: (I'm... thirsty...)
Cover: Nea climbing a tree.
Text: Somewhere sometime--- what does this young body think....?
214th Night. Searching A.W. - Awakening
Mother (M: "What is the wind saying?"
Nea (N: "What are you talking about?"
M: "It looked like you were talking to it."
M: "Hello 'Cornelia'." She greets a tree.
M: "Where's Cyrus? Wasn't he with you?"
N: "Uncle is where that strangely colored smoke is coming from. Hey, mother, is it true that weirdo is now the head of the Campbell family?"
M: "Weirdness runs in the family~~ Look at you! You were talking to the wind!"
N: "...."
M: "What a nice breeze..."
N: (Eyes...) (Dark circles under them...) "Always look after him." (T/N: can be either "him" or "her")
N: "Mother."
M: "Ye---s?"
N: "Will Mana never become an adult? Manet and the others said so."
N: "They said Mana won't wake up... Today a month has passed since then... "Mana is..."
"Nea"
Mana was hiding in the sleeves of mother's clothes.
Mana smiles. Nea smiles through his tears.
Allen is sleeping on a bed. "Did you wake up, Mana?"
Johnny (J: "Allen...!?"
Allen (A: "You're so mean... the both of you... even you, mother."
Allen's skin turns white.
J: "Allen!!"
Allen wakes up.
J: (His skin color...) "You turned back...!"
J: "Allen!? It's me, Johnny." (His skin color turned back, it turned back, it turned back)
J: "Do you understand me?"
A: "Johnny... Where am I?"
Johnny clamps onto Allen. "Good, good, goooood!!!"
J: "You were attacked by AKUMA and fled underneath a bridge, do you remember?"
J: "You collapsed there, Allen." *chatters* "Ah, don't worry, Kanda wiped out all the AKUMA!" *chatters* "Speaking of Kanda, where did he run off to...?"
Allen takes in a deep breath. Tim lands on his face.
A: "Timcanpy."
J: "I bought loads of sandwiches because I figured you'd want them once you woke up." Bought with Kanda's uniform. "You're gonna eat, right?"
A: "Somehow I'm... very thirsty...."
J: "Ah, of course. You were running all over town. It makes sense to be thirsty."
Johnny pours water into a cup and hands it to Allen. "Here you go!"
A throbbing pain in Allen's stomach. "Ouch..."
When Johnny rolls up Allen's shirt, there are wings coming out of Allen's stomach.
J: "Does it hurt...!? Of course it does!"
J: "You desperately fought the 14th with your Innocence, didn't you?"
J: "I'm truly sorry... for not noticing."
J: "Here." Johnny hands over the cup.
Allen takes it. "Thank you, Johnny."
J: (Ah, he finally smiled.) "Oh, that's right. I brought a painkiller!!"
J: "It's an injection though. I know you hate them~~~♪♪"
Johnny turns his back to Allen and looks through his bag. "Eeehm."
J: "Emergency set. My emergency set~~~"
Allen places his left hand on the side of Johnny's head. He slams Johnny's head into the wall.
A trail of blood is left on the wall. Johnny falls onto the bed.
Nea empties the glass. "Ah ----I still feel hazy...." *dizzy* "Uh...."
He looks at his reflection in the washroom mirror. "Whoa. What's with this face!? Complete white."
"......" "Eh~~~~~...." Looks bad at fighting. "Oh well... it's alright, I guess."
"!?"
He collapses because of dizziness.
"....." "Ha...." "...Thanks. Looks like there was an accident...."
"Well, it's a long project... those things happen."
"Alright then. What's the situation...?"
"Tiiiiiim." "Tell me about Allen."
A showdown between Kanda and Link under the moonlight.
Kanda sheathes Mugen. "I'll stab you to death the moment I decide you're untrustworthy. Remember that, damn watchdog."
Link (L: "You should return to the Order quickly."
L: "From your previous comments I can deduce that you once again obtained the Innocence in order for Allen's atonement."
L: "But now you've regained your Innocence, you should fulfill your role as one of God's disciples."
Kanda (K: "...*sigh*"
L: "You'll become a Fallen One if you push things too far."
L: "It'll be bothersome if Walker gets dragged into things because of you."
Kanda looks back over his shoulder. Link is already gone.
K: "Che."
Kanda returns to the room and holds out his hand towards the doorknob.
K: "....."
Kanda snaps his sword loose, violently opens the door and points Mugen to Allen's throat. Allen is sitting on the bed.
K: "14th?"
...A untimely chance encounter------!?
