Back at the Order, Komui, Reever, Lenalee, Timothy, Cash, and other scientists were looking at the footage captured on the golems. Miranda and Marie had already gone to bed. The room was dark and gloomy. Having already looked at the video numerous times Timothy had fallen asleep. Lenalee and several of the scientists were beginning to doze off. Strangely, Komui was very active and focusing on the task before him. Reever had spaced out nearly an hour ago and was still stuck thinking if it was a good idea to send him to find Allen.
They had been watching the same part for the whole time; it was the part where Allen was fighting Apocryphos. They were trying to figure out what Apocryphos was and how it infiltrated the order.
Lenalee dozed off, leaning against a pile of books. As she continued to lean on it, it tilted, more and more until it fell, creating a huge crash. Luckily there weren't any of Komui's strange potions that broke. Quickly everyone snapped awake.
Upon seeing that the same part as they had watched when he fell asleep was playing, Timothy moaned, "Can't we move on already? You've seen this part enough!"
Komui sighed, "Ok, Ok," He said. This time he allowed it to continue playing instead of rewinding it to where Allen was thrown in. They were now at the part where Allen was crying about Mana.
"Pause it!" Cash suddenly yelled. Komui paused it but Timothy protested, "Can't we move on already? Do we have to stop at every little sec-," he was cut off by Lenalee.
"What's that?!" She was pointing to Allen's left arm (the Allen on the screen, the real Allen isn't there).
"I don't see anything! It's just a damn arm!" Timothy was mad now. "That's why it's so strange! Allen shouldn't have a normal arm!" Lenalee shouted. Now realizing, not only Timothy but several other people glued their eyes to the screen and saw it.
"But how?" Reever asked. "Rewind to the beginning!" Komui shouted. Reever presses several keys and the tape returned to where Allen was removing Kanda's innocence. "Pause it!" Komui said. Reever zoomed up on Allen's left arm; it was still black.
"Then how-" Cash was cut off by Lenalee. "That thing! It must have taken away his innocence!" Lenalee shouted. Everyone looked at Lenalee with a look that said they needed more information. "I think he called it… Apocry- Apocalypse?" Lenalee was going over it again in her mind.
"Apocryphos!" Komui exclaimed. "That's it!" Lenalee said. "Do you know something about this?" Cash asked.
"Yeah," Komui said slowly, "but… I thought it was just a myth." Everyone was now staring intently at him. "It's a independent type of innocence that was designed to protect the heart. But how is Allen a threat to-" he stopped and rushed over to his desk, as always, a very dangerous thing to do.
He started tossing books and papers around. Everyone backed away from him. Reever ran up to him and grabbed his arm. "What are you doing? Have you gone insane?" Reever shouted. Komui said nothing and just shoved Reever off his arm. Slowly Komui got to the bottom of the pile.
"Where is it?" He shouted. He ran over to the bookshelf and piled even more books onto the ground. Not paying attention to what he was doing, he threw a box off the bookshelf. Luckily Reever noticed and caught it before it fell to the floor. It was a box of various potions that Reever forgot to take from Komui. "Watch it!" Reever shouted, about to handcuff Komui, but Komui was too busy looking at something.
He held a book and was busily flipping through the pages. He stopped at one of the pages and was reading it. "What is it?" Lenalee asked. "I think we were very wrong about Allen," he said.
"This is a record of what happened 30 years ago, when Neah died," he continued, "It seems that he betrayed the other Noah to protect someone," he paused. "Just spit it out already!" Timothy shouted, annoyed. "Ah-," Komui said, turning the page, "It doesn't say."
"What?" Everyone shouted in unison. "There's a page missing, see?" He said holding up the book. Everyone sighed, giving up. "But how does that mean that we were wrong about Allen?" Reever asked.
"We shouldn't have assumed that he went to the other Noah," Komui said, glaring at several people who then glanced away. "Then why was he with some Noah the night he ran away?" Cash asked. There was an awkward silence afterwards; no one knew what to say.
"Well I think that we have all been up late enough!" Timothy said, "Lenalee, you should sleep also." "Yeah…," Lenalee said as she began to walk out. "GOODNIGHT LENALEE!" Komui shouted as her and Timothy left the room.
As soon as the door closed Komui began to yell at Cash, "Why did you say that?" "Someone had to point it out," She said calmly, "I don't get why you're so mad though." Komui was about to continue yelling when Reever answered her instead, "She was crying when she left."
"If you don't make it up to her I'll pay you back ten-fold," Komui hissed with a dark aura around him. "Y-yes!" Cash said. "Well I think that everyone is tired enough, let's go to bed already," Reever said, getting up. Everyone filed out of the room, with Komui being the last person to leave after taking one last thoughtful look at the record book. Giving up, he put it down and followed everyone out.
