[ "A pointed effort to help me at risk to himself..." Allen's expression smooths at that, an awe-touched sort of sober, gentle surprise. He did something like that for Viktor, who he presumably either didn't know before or at least didn't know well...?

He takes the strawberry, popping it into his mouth automatically, but he doesn't need to be mollified. Instead, he's recalling the last time he'd seen Megumi in person, the horror as they both struggled to survive. 'Don't be selfish and die all alone...']

Mm, he is. I haven't seen him since the catacombs... [ Where he'd met Viktor, too. ]

I'll have to go see him again one of these days. I had no idea anyone out there could do something like I could too.
