Interlude 1: Allen - strange one




He's a strange one.

Though, if you ask me, they're both strange. Of course, no one ever does.

Oh. Wait. You want to know who am I talking about?

chaos and KOS-MOS.

I saw the way he looked at her, when the Chief and I got up to the bridge. It's the same way I look at the Chief when no one else is looking... or even when others are looking.

chaos, the strange, silver-haired boy, is in love with an android.

Not just any android, but KOS-MOS.

Yeah, I notice it.

You can notice a lot of things when you're Allen Ridgley, Invisible Guy.

And KOS-MOS...

Well, let's just say the only other person I've ever seen her look at with that much emotion in her eyes is the Chief.

Even so, he'll have a tough time of it. She is an android, after all, and even though she was programmed with emotions, they still don't come naturally to her.

Though, if you ask me, I say they deserve each other.

Of course, no one ever does.
