Lenalee was on her knees as she watched Allen turn his back on her. Silvery tears cascaded from her amethyst eyes, glistening in the moonlight as they ran streaks through the dirt of her face. She had fought so hard to reach him. To beg him to come back. So...why...? With him turning away to leave in the Ark, why had she wasted so much effort to show only to end up like this? Wasn't Allen part of her family? Part of her world?
The Order will always be my home.
Lenalee almost didn't notice that she had gotten to her feet. She justed wanted Allen to wait. To come back. Everything was a mistake. Komui will fix it. Surely, he could.
Her legs moved before she made a conscious decision to act. Towards the Ark. Towards the disappearing back of her comrade. The distance between them felt so much longer than it should have.
"Allen!" she had cried, reaching out for him. He was now completely enveloped in the Ark gate. But she won't give up. Not yet.
Then Lenalee was engulfed in the Ark's light. She felt her fingers brush against the fabric that covered his back.
Immediately after, the gate shattered.
