"Maybe. Or maybe she knows I can handle you myself."

And then there is no time to talk, only to react and do his best not to hurt Kanda too much. With the other Exorcist injured as he is, a combination of experience and reflex is enough to fend off the onslaught, leaving Allen enough attention to spare on looking around for some kind of clue, a way out, look anywhere except at Kanda's face.

Her words reach him, but he doesn't answer. Of course he remembers, still broods over it sometimes, even if his reasons have been changing slowly as the months go by. Now is not the time. None of this is real. He mustn't let her get to him, has to focus, has to--

"Self-destruct."

Has to remember this is all a dream.

It's still not enough to keep him from making a lunge for Alma with a wordless cry.

Allen will never forget that day in the Rewinding Town. Rhode giving the same order, Lero's uneasy countdown, the way that distingerating soul had reached out to him and begged, Save me.

Save me, Alma had said less than a minute ago, You could have saved me.

So he flings himself across the room, knowing he'll never make it in time, knowing he shouldn't be taking the bait. Knowing, unlike the first time, that he's being incredibly stupid, but he still has to try.
