[ With a abrupt whirling of a white cloak and a flash of silver, Allen lands suddenly upon the ground, feet digging down into the dirt to stop himself from falling forward before lifting his head and glaring forward, right hand grasping tightly to the grip of the hilt of his sword ]

The Akuma... Where did it--?

...Walker?

[antiakuma]

Fou? You're here too? How long have you been here? Or... have you not left?

[toughlovedeity]

No, actually, I haven't left here once. And you just got back, too, I think.

...
Wait. How old are you?

[antiakuma]

...really? Is this some kind of paradox, then? Or just the City playing around as I recall it doing before.

And... I'm around twenty two. Give or take. Why?

[toughlovedeity]

...okay, it's a curse. Great.

[antiakuma]

A curse? That took me out the City for six years then brought me back with no time passing at all in this place?

[toughlovedeity]

...you could say so, I think.

[antiakuma]

Wow. I should take my hat off to the City for this one.

It would then be senseless to ask "what did I miss", right?

[toughlovedeity]

Yeah, very.

...I'd sort of like to ask what happened at home, but I don't think I'd like to know the answer.

[antiakuma]

Shame~ It feels like so long to me since we "chattered".

And even if you asked I'd tell you the same as if you didn't at this point - whatever is happening at home is not important if this is a Curse, for there is always the potential for a million different futures to come from a single moment.

Don't you think, Fou?

[toughlovedeity]

Yeah... so I won't ask. It doesn't matter either way.

[antiakuma]

Of course it matters. Don't be silly.

Why would we work so hard if it didn't? ♥

[toughlovedeity]

I meant it doesn't matter if I know... or something I mean. I dont want to know before it happens.

We wouldn't.

[antiakuma]

Ahhh, just as well, then. I'm glad to see you remain true to yourself.

Quite right.

Yet, I'm curious. What's the last thing you remember about me, Fou?

[toughlovedeity]

...yeah.

Last thing I remember? Like... here, or in our world?
