"What are we doing?" Is something wrong?
"Nothing. I just thought it'd be nice to meditate with you." Yes. I needed to see you.
"… It seems like whenever Rouvelier shows up, you come running to me." It is Rouvelier, right?
"I-I don't want to bother the others. And it's easy to be around you. You never ask questions. But… I guess I am running… I know it's wrong! I've got to be stronger! But… but… agh!" Not just that. I'm weak.
"Look… you're a strong woman, Lenalee." You'll get through. You always have.
"Kanda…" How do you know?
"Now shut up and meditate!" I know.
"Okay. " Thank you.They never had to actually say anything. They always knew.
Maybe they did skip around each other's emotions like they were on eggshells.
But they loved each other.
He was her safe zone, she, his link back to earth.
Komui would never say anything, but even he was jealous of their silent connection.
He hated Allen from day one, when he realized that she wasn't just his anymore.
She was jealous of Tiedoll as soon as she met him, realizing the close bond that they must have shared.
They were closer than two friends should be.
And maybe they were deluding themselves into thinking there wasn't something else there.
But they both knew.
"Lenalee, report to Hevlaska's chamber. It's urgent. Inspector Rouvelier and Chief Komui await you."
They shared a look, but no words.
They didn't need to.
Because they loved each other.
