Picked back up again...

[burnedroad]

You know just because you want to have me in your head again doesn't mean it's gonna work out. I mean come on, you've tried it out a second time already and that was a major flop. You can't go blaming it on the place being dead either. You had your plate fuller than it should've been.

Tch, just let me go back in that graveyard. It's better in there anyway. Even if it's getting crowded.

[You were the one asking questions, Allen. Would you rather Lavi lie about the whole thing?

(He'd love to hear about a train that went no where, just around and around, but right now Lavi doesn't have those memories anymore.)]

If there's one thing I've learned, you can't outrun the past. No matter how fast you can Run.

[His hasn't Jesused at him in a while.]

[affirmed]

[His expression flickers a little, tightens. Ah--]

No. [It's softly said, like remembering something from a long time ago. Something painful and sad, and yet fond. His lips pull back into that smile again.

Gentle.] No, you can't.

But.

[... heh.]

You can't keep moving forward, if you're always looking back.

Even if you've had a lot of bad things happen in the past, you can't let yourself forget that there's always a future, that there's something for you up ahead. You just have to...

[Mm.]

... you just have to keep walking.

Ah, you know what they say: whatever doesn't kill you will always make you stronger.

[Smile.]

[This face?

This is a face that has heard all the words before and while they normally make an impact when his captain says them...

Well, it's just not the same with an Allen he doesn't know and doesn't trust.]

Just what I need, a stronger Tyki to take down. Thanks. [Because they thought they killed him but turns out he's still kicking as a half-cyborg...]
