"especially if it's someone I care about." he kept his eyes down, flexing his fingers stiff in their bandages. "I just... Wanted you to be happy." "I was happy." "no, you weren't." Allen looked at Kanda then, his eyes as turbulent as the storm clouds they stole their color from. He placed one of those bandaged hands on the doorknob, and smiled, and it was such a sad happy surrendering smile, "but it was nice of you to lie."
