Who: Anyone
When: Day 27, later afternoon
Where: Apartment N
What: That extra roommate we didn't actually want

[So sometimes you go like three days without properly sleeping, and then have a bit of a good morning so you decide hey sleeping won't kill me and then you have a nap!]

[And when you wake up your face is all wet with tears and you're standing over a broken table with a piece of toast in your hand and you don't even remember getting out of bed and what . . . is happening with your life Allen Walker . . .?]

[Also anybody can come visit . . . sure . . .]

It's all right. It's just a table.

. . .

[muffled laugh]

[is very patient and can wait]

[fakest mcfakesmile]

W-well, I'd been intending on telling you and Ling very soon anyway . . .

No time like the present.

Ling already felt it . . .? Ah, there's another—presence. Inside of me.

[the moment of silence that can be read as a tell that Ling didn't actually mention this to him and that this... isn't as surprising as it could be]

... demon?

[~~jumping in since we're merging threads I guess!?~~

Just staying silent and waiting for Allen to go on]

Not . . . exactly. It's . . . complicated. Ah—in my world, there is someone called the Earl of the Millennium, who is trying to bring about the destruction of humanity. He uses creatures called Akuma to do so—and only Exorcists that use weapons made of something called Innocence can really fight them. That's what my hand is—and Red's hammer, and Kanda's sword . . . ah, but, anyway, the Earl's family are called the Noah family. And . . . the Noah . . . ah, live inside human bodies. I suppose.

[... yep. processing this.

End of the world scenarios...]

[staying silent for a few moments, also processing this]

And you're the host of one of them. What are we supposed to expect, exactly?

Honestly, I don't even really know, seeing as he just apparently wanted to break furniture and cry and . . . I don't know.

. . .

He's not really adjusting well to being dead.

[thaaaaat's not something he's thought about...]

... you're not able to control him.

And if what happened earlier is any indication, your own conscience isn't aware when he takes over, either.

There's voices . . . all the time. Ah, "he's" different, a little, too. It's hard to explain—? I can keep, ah, I can stay in control most of the time. It's when I'm asleep that it's the worst.

If that Earl was against humanity... how dangerous is the being within you to the people here?

[not adding anything, waiting for the answer]

Ah . . . it wouldn't really do to compare him to the Earl, exactly. They're not really—well, there's politics there. Not that they really matter much anymore. But either way—. . . I can't honestly say for sure? I don't really know what he might do. The most danger is probably to me—? But I can't really say that nothing will happen, either, I definitely can't say that. I wouldn't say he's safe. I wouldn't say I'm safe. And if you two think that it's too much to deal with, I'll move out, I absolutely will without any question.

... what're you assuming on your own.

It actually would be better if you stay here. If something happens, I know some sealing techniques that could limit what the being within you can do.

If we couldn't deal with something like this, we wouldn't be worthy of much. Kakashi is right, it's better if you stay here. The situation is entirely different, so it might not be of much help... but I also have experience in sharing a body with another entity. I can at least try to do what I can do.

Besides, I told you earlier. You're living together with us, so for the time being we're companions. I don't throw that word around easily.

. . .

I want—I want to stay here—

Then don't be in such a rush to feel you have to leave.

... I may not have the same experiences as you and Ling, but I have known someone struggle with a similar lack of control of an entity within himself.

Given these circumstances, I'm positive there's no better place for you to stay in.

Is that—are you sure?

Allen... we'll say it however many times you need to accept it.

... or Ling will. I don't like to repeat myself...
