[ You have no idea, Kokichi. ✰ This isn't even the act he gets paid for.
Also you probably shouldn't wish for that. Being made into a living weapon of a child soldier on the losing side of a holy war by a parasitic, dickish angel-type entity that's burning up your lifespan in order to power itself. The thing he's most grateful for is what it lets him do, but the cost on people... ]
Oh -- ! [ He forgot, what with the aftermath of the fight. ]
It's Allen. Allen Walker. I'm sorry. [ His manners.. ]
My friend's name is Viktor, he runs a lab in Willful Machine. [ It's supposed to be "we" and Allen does see it as that, he does, but saying he also helps run a lab would be a gross overstatement. He's a spiritual prodigy, not a technical one. Not at all...
Speaking of, the blatant self-flattery isn't missed. Not his cup of tea, although he's too polite to say anything. And he would normally be a lot more guarded around a stranger -- it is the Trench after all -- he just met, especially around Viktor, but... Kokichi already showed his true colors with the little beast-girl. That isn't something that could be faked, and was tellingly genuine.
And rare. ]
He's a very kind man... and very smart. [ rambles on in his nerd mode in ways that make Allen's eyes glaze over ] If it's something you have any interest or knack for, I'm sure he'd love to talk with you about it.
