[Hopefully you didn't like that ceiling much, because suddenly breaking through it is a Lenalee. But she's not breaking through it on purpose: she's crashing down, bloody and reeling from a punch. For those who can see it, there are strange dark matter chains wrapped around her, although her Innocence seems to be counteracting its added weight for

Augh! [Cowering a little as the drywall rains down, arm up defensively as he prepares to face whatever horrifying thing just exploded through the ceiling--

...it's a girl?] M-miss?

[waltzofthewind]

[She gasps, taking in a deep breath and gathering her strength to glance around the room quickly, wary of danger and absolutely bewildered. If only there wasn't so much dust in the air.

But as soon as she hears Allen's voice, she turns towards him immediately, her eyes as wide as can be.]

...Allen?!

[exorcistings]

[He looks slightly startled by her reaction, with no sign of recognition on his part. But he can see her Innocence activated - an Exorcist he meets in the future, then?]

Ah-- Allen Walker, yes...

[waltzofthewind]

It is you! You're...alive!

[He might not look exactly the way she's expecting, but with the dust in the air and the strain from the fight with Eshi, she's not at her most observant. She more or less flings herself at him in a delighted hug, her eyes beginning to get teary.]

[waltzofthewind]

What the -!

[She has no words for this. Panting from exhaustion, she just stares at Tyki, the card and at the crumbling ceiling. Maybe she's dead, and this is some sort of insane hell?]

What's going on here? Where did the sea go?!

[waltzofthewind]

...Excuse me for not making the grade. [She rubs at her eyes for a moment. No, to her surprise she's still in this strange place that isn't over the sea. Her eyes narrow as she looks at Tyki. There's something familiar about this woman, but she just can't place it.]

Where is this? Is this some sort of new Akuma attack? Or...Noah attack?

[fallforthesky]

[Oh. Oh. Lenalee barely reacts to the pieces of ceiling falling-- instead rooted to the spot as she stares, clearly distraught, at her past counterpart. Eventually, a shudder seems to pass over her and she runs forward on shaky legs to kneel next to her.]

[waltzofthewind]

[This is no good, she thinks. She has to get to her feet and back to the fight, despite feeling so heavy. So she sits up, coughing from the dust. As soon as she sees the other Lenalee, her eyes narrow and she tenses, preparing to spring away.]

Is this...a new trick? I won't be defeated by something like that.

[fallforthe_sky]

[She reaches out a hand in dismay, but pulls it back just as quickly.] No-- it's not a trick. I won't hurt you, I promise, so please... please believe me.

Are you all right? [She's flicking her eyes from one detail to the next; from the dark matter chains wrapped around her body to the hexagonal markings.]

[waltzofthewind]

[With an expression of utter confusion, she stands up despite her injuries and the chains, and backs away cautiously for now. She's heard about Akuma with the ability to take on any appearance they choose.]

This place, I don't - why you look like me?

[dark_thespian]

[Oh hells bells, he's ducking out of the way as Lenalee comes crashing down. But the moment he sees the dark matter he's rushing towards her, activating his Innocence and converting his arm into the sword to cut the chains.]

Lenalee! Hold on, I'll get those off of you.

[waltzofthewind]

Allen? [She turns her head towards the sound of his voice, completely surprised. Even the Innocence sword cutting through the chains isn't as much of a surprise as Allen suddenly appearing in the middle of the sea...only this isn't the sea, is it? But whatever the situation, she's so, so happy to see him. She stands up unsteadily as the chains fall away.]

You're alive!

[dark_thespian]

[He cuts through the chains and blinks at the statement. When was she from- wait. He smiles gently and reaches out to take her hand once the chains are gone.] Yes, I'm alive. Can you walk? I'll take you to the clinic.

[waltzofthewind]

Aa...[She takes his hand in a daze, a few tears at the corner of her eyes.] I'm so glad you're all right. I knew you'd come back, I knew it...

But Allen, there's no time for this! The others are back on the ship, and it's sinking. If the Level 3 making it sink isn't defeated right away, they'll all die!
