Allen did not seem to move for a very, very long period of time. He simply stared at the spot where Lou Fa had stood earlier. His long fringe fell over his face, concealing nearly half of it. People were starting to disperse now, since the exciting part was over. However the people closer to Allen remained, shocked senseless, along with Allen himself. Lavi turned around then, and realized Lenalee had disappeared. His gaze swung back to Allen.

Still not moving.

Lavi hesitated, unsure about what to do next. To look for Lenalee and make sure if she's alright or stay and make sure if Allen is alright?

He finally noticed Kanda, who was still standing in a corner with his arms crossed and leaning against the wall. Was it him, or did Kanda looked...almost as if amused for a split second there? Wooah. Lavi had never ever seen Kanda have any other expression on his face before, other than the Sulky, Pissed, or Indifferent looks. Lavi secretly called them SPI. Sulky, Pissed and Indifferent. When Kanda felt Lavi's eyes on him, he gave his usual 'Che' and left too, leaving only Johnny, Bak-chan and- WAIT. What was Bak-chan doing here? Lavi eyed him curiously. Oh, well. No use standing there motionless anyway. Allen's stillness was starting to worry Lavi a little. Shaking his head, Lavi went forward and prodded Allen in the arm. ''Oi, Allen.''

No response.

Lavi poked again. Still no response. Lavi sucked in a deep breath. ''!'' His voice came out louder than he expected, and it bounced off the walls, making it echo a little. Lavi shook his head. To hell with that. Allen however still did not respond. Lavi was starting to get pretty frustrated. He reached out, grabbed Allen by the shoulders and started shaking him. ''Allen?''

No. Response.

Lavi finally let go of him, but just as he did, Allen collapsed on to the ground…

Kanda's side

After leaving the scene, Kanda went to mediate. There were no other missions for the time being, and there was nothing else to do in the Order anyway, other than eating soba and sleeping. ''Che'', he muttered to himself, and slid open the door. Not much to his surprise, he found Lenalee sitting there already, Indian-style. ''K-Kanda!'' Lenalee greeted him as soon as she noticed him standing there. Not seeming to be registering her presence, he went to his spot and sat down, crossing his legs and shutting his eyes. After a moment of silence, Kanda asked, with his eyelids still shut: ''What is it now?''

''Hmm? W-What? It's nothing~'' Came Lenalee's over enthusiastic reply.

But Kanda's silence made it difficult for her to feign nonchalance.

''You were crying, weren't yo-'' ''Oh Kanda!'' Lenalee started bawling. ''W-W-Whhat am I g-gonna do nowwww…''

Kanda was totally caught off guard. Kanda had known Lenalee for nearly his entire life now, but he had never seen her break down like this before. ''Uhhhh…..''

Lavi happened to be dragging a seemingly unconscious Allen pass that room at that time. As soon as Lenalee's weeping reached their ears, they both turned to the same direction at the same time. ''Lenalee?'' Allen said aloud. He jumped to his feet and pulled open the sliding doors.

''I THOUGHT YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE UNCONSCIOUS?'' Lavi yelled from behind him.
