It's here, by the way: http://www.mangahere.com/manga/d_gray_man/c215/

The translation is a bit weird here and there but eh... anyway.

dude, that one you say looks like Kanda - I think it's just some shadow stuff, I think it's the same person from the lower left corner in page 6, who looks like.... an older Allen.

my current theory, which seems to be yours also: Allen and the 14th were friends. Allen was an adult. When the 14th was dying, he offered to keep the 14th's memories within himself. And for some reason, his body regressed to that of a child and he lost all memories of his previous life....

so they're actually friends. but Allen will disappear when the 14th fully comes back. And Timcanpy is aware, so the poor thing cries. Cross was also a friend of the 14th.... and yet he didn't know Allen? (because of what he said back at the Order when he hugged Allen, that he was just supposed to be some kid they used to keep the 14th's memories alive...) And Mana was Neah's brother, and the dog crazy!Mana had was called Allen, and so the Red Arm child Mana "adopted" started being called "Allen" as well, but if adult!Allen knew past!Neah, then he might have known past!sane!Mana, so the dog was named after adult!Allen, and then child!amnesiac!Allen was named after the dog, and-

GAAAAAAAH.
