[magekrove]

Nea and Mana Decided to try again with tumblr

[1296-very-good-year]

Chapter 26 vs chapter 253.5

[the14thnea]

I'm still here

[the14thnea]

Remember in the Arc, when Allen shone so bright, Lavi feared he might vanish into the light. Now, Allen is the light that pulled him out of the darkness.

I MUST PROTECT

[yourblueberrymajesty]

Lavi saying he's got to be Bookman he's got to record while Allen holds his hand bringing him back from the darkness and hovers over him calling him Lavi instead of Bookman looking like he really wants to smooch him is just so hhhhhhhh

[the14thnea]

It looks like there are eyes in his eye. Maybe that's where the memories are stored then?

D.Gray-Man 256th Night (English)

READ HERE

[fenrhi]

Gotta love how Hoshino-sensei was like "actually, Allen and Lavi's *broadly gestures at everything* isn't gay enough, I'm gonna make them connected by the red string of fate too, for good measure"

[somehowsomewhat]

D.Gray-Man 254th Night (English)

Found here

[sonnayamorda]

NO NO NO NOOO I CAN'T-!

I can't bear all this suffering.. just can't...

I just have no words, I don't know how to comment on this. Allen learned and realized something extremely important, difficult and sad, as if before it all was "easy" for him

I just want Allen and Lavi to hug and tell each other that everything will be okay. Please...

D.Gray-man Chapter 254 Translation

Notes: Million thanks to @konakatomo who helped me start the translation ASAP and proofread/revised everything!

Some parts are directly quoted from previous chapters, translation credits go to @jeidafei

As always, it can be improved, feel free to leave notes !

Lavi: Eh... it's snowing

Bookman: Looks like it

Lavi: Really? I didn't think it would snow around here, there are so many weird things happening lately

Just the other day ! so many flowers bloomed before their season and-

the color of the lake changed overnight and-

the lady from the inn said she harvested sooooo much so she gave us some vegetables and-

Bookman: That was big help.

Lavi: A big help!!

Bookman: Was there a ripple somewhere? Something big enough to have such an impact on the surface...

[or could it be... was the helix...]

[Lavi: Dad]

Bookman: [I can't... Again, it's all I can think about....]

(Says "it" but the kanjis say Helix)

[To think that you have become a part of it...]

Lavi: Gramps, Do you think the snow will pile up ?

[Remembering his son in the silver snow]

THE 254TH NIGHT: IF IT IS INDEED FATE, WE'LL MEET AGAIN SOMEDAY . CONCLUSION

Apocryphos: it's been 2985 days… we've been at a standstill for about 8 years.

What now?

Apocryphos: Is that the host....!?

Apocryphos: What about Bookman Jr....

.... Hope. Struggle

Love. Hatred...

huh? so that's all?

It was a waste of time

after all this effort... let's just kill hi- [!!]

[What...!?]

//ugh

[LAVI: Hope

Struggle. Love. Hatred.

Lives touching lives

Bonds. Convictions passed from one to another

The traces left behind, of a life lived with that heart. That is what makes the helix stronger.

You, all alone, couldn't fathom the bonds between lives, could you ?

You underestimated humans, Apocryphos!

Apocryphos: [what was that, just now

I felt an immeasurable energy

It's the first time that I've felt such Helix energy]

Am "I"… trembling ?

[Does that mean this helix is connected to this little life? This is beyond human level]

[The Helix energy, already powerful in Nea alone, reached a whole different level when it absorbed the life of Bookman Jr.

So the karma of the Bookman clan runs so deep?]

Ah I see, that's right… they were closest to the Heart...

[If this amount of helix energy could be offered to the Heart…]

Since the person connected to this one helix is alive,

The more joy, pain, and sorrow he experiences, the stronger the helix will become.

Energy will be offered to the Heart, through the innocence that has taken possession of his left arm.

This will bring forth the revival quicker than expected

This child will surely become the perfect sacrifice for the Heart

I shall shape him so myself.

[Lavi(?): Allen

From now on, you will go through a great deal of suffering

but

somehow

Please keep on living]

[Please continue your journey]

Allen(crying) (me too): Lavi...

Apocryphos: You will be reborn as an unsightly orphan who has forgotten his own name among everything else after being abandoned by his parents.

Yes…. I'll sell him to a circus

This shall be the tale of one who started from the bottom and went on to become a beautiful sacrificial angel.

Go ahead, live on.

For The sake of the Heart.

[Allen's memory was all true...]

D.Gray-man ----- To be continued.

[heiwajimarei]

Cleaned up the new cover in case anyone wanted to use it as a wallpaper as well!

[the14thnea]

The good thing about being in the D.Gray-man fandom is that no matter how little and irregular other things get updated, it always feels like being spoiled bc nothing compares to waiting eight years for a new Chapter and then when it finally came out, it only had 7 pages
