At that point, one of the nurses came over to speak to them. “Excuse me,” she said in a timid voice, “But it’s late, and the Head Nurse will be upset if you wake up any of the other patients.”
That shut the two of them up very quickly. They were all too familiar with the wrath of the Head Nurse, and they really didn’t want to upset her. So, after a moment of pure terror at the thought of what punishments the Head Nurse could deal out, Arthur cleared his throat and said, “Then I will take my leave for now. But I will be back to talk to you in a few days.”
With that, Arthur walked out of the infirmary, muttering to himself as he left. Just moments after he stepped out, Allen came walking into the infirmary. Once again Rabi put on his cheerful façade and said, “Welcome back. Getting ready for bed?”
“Yeah,” Allen said, but he was looking back at the doorway, and he clearly had something on his mind. “Rabi, was the guy who just left a visitor for you?”
“Yep,” Rabi admitted, “That’s old ‘brows. He’s a bit of a stiff, but he’s a good guy.”
“It’s weird, something about him felt really familiar, but I’m not sure what it is.”
Truthfully, Rabi wasn’t too surprised. Allen was from England, after all, so of course he would feel that familiar feeling around his own country. The next time Arthur was around he would have to introduce him to Allen and the others, Rabi decided. Normally humans didn’t get the privilege of knowing the true identity of countries, but Exorcists were a special case. “Well you’ll have to ask him the next time you see him, right?”
Allen nodded at that, and then he turned to look at Rabi. “Say, he said something about a ‘Roma’. Is that someone the two of you know?”
Rabi grinned. ’That’d be name number one.’ But out loud, he actually said, “Yeah, something like that.”

In this case, 'Roma' is actually referring to the Romani people, not Rome. Also, this is set some time between chapter 135 and 136 of D. Gray Man. Anon plans to write a sequel where England visits again after the 5th laboratory arc.
Eeee! Oh man, I made some highly undignified squealy noises at this. England! Kanda and Japan! The details here are fantastic. And Rabi as Roma? Nothing less than fucking perfect.
