"Okay, okay. Right, no panicking. Got it. Okay, I can do that." Kaneko said to herself. She did her best to calm herself down, slowing down her breathing to a relaxed speed. Counting in her head, holding her breath, and exhaling to the count in her head. Something she learned to do when she started meditation. She had stopped meditating a few years ago, but she still remembered the technique she used to relax her body and her mind. Once she had relaxed, she looked at him and lightly squeezed his hand.

"It's okay Allen. If you say you'll be fine, I believe you. I won't go anywhere until you ask me to, alright?" Kaneko didn't want to just leave his side right now, not when he was feeling so much pain. He sounded so pained, as if he was fighting back the urge to scream out from the pain.

Kaneko walked in silence. She was glad her father didn't straight up yell or cause a scene, but it was clear to her that he wasn't too happy about this whole thing with Allen sleeping over. It was just for one night. Why did he have to be so...territorial? "Overestimated yourself?" Kaneko repeated. She wasn't sure what Allen meant by that. Should she be worried? "What do you mean Allen? Why do you say that?" she asked him. When the two of them reached her room, she stood at the entrance, letting him walk into her room.

However, what happened next she was not expecting and it was then that she knew something was wrong. He had fallen to sit on the floor instead. Kaneko ran into her room and knelt down beside him, placing one of her hands on his shoulders. "Allen! Allen what's wrong?" She asked, panic starting to set in. She'd call her father for help but that wasn't a good idea especially since he wasn't too happy at the moment. "Allen, would you like me to get you something? Something to drink? I...I can make you something small to eat if you're light headed." The wheels in her head started to slowly creak and turn. Could this possibly be pain from his eyes that he was feeling? "Do you need your remedy?" she asked, her voice now lowered.

The air around them was tense, it felt that way to Kaneko who was watching from where she stood. Her eyes on her father, worry clear on her face. "Allen?" Her father repeated and set his spoon down on the napkin, watching Allen. Why did that name sound familiar. "Funny, I used to know someone with that same name. This was years ago though." He said and let out a heavy sigh, the man was obviously tired. "Well...I wasn't going to. However, my princess here twisted my arm. You're welcome though. I hope you find it comfortable here. I take it that sleeping arrangements have already been made?" He asked his daughter who nodded nervously. "Of course. Allen will be sleeping in my room. I will sleep on the couch and there is nothing you can do or say that will make me change my mind. So he can stay, right dad?" She asked. Her father could easily change his mind, but she was hopeful that he wouldn't. "Please?"

The older man rolled his eyes at his daughter's begging. "I already agreed to it didn't I?" He muttered, his tired eyes landed on Allen again and he now noticed the bandage around his eyes. He was...blind? Wait...was this the same Allen from years ago? No, no it couldn't be. Could it? He was supposed to have died, why was he still here? He was getting ahead of himself, it probably wasn't the same person. No way. "Oh thank-you dad!" Kaneko laughed and gave her father a quick hug and a kiss on the cheek only to be shooed off. "Alright, alright. Enough of that. You're both probably tired. Get some sleep, the both of you. I'll head to bed once I'm finished here." Her father instructed and Kaneko shrunk back but nodded. "Alright then." She quickly made sure the front door was locked then walked to where Allen stood and took his hand, to which her father cleared his throat. Kaneko sighed and let go of Allen's hand. Her father was getting way ahead of himself. "Come along Allen, I'll walk you to your room." She said quietly.
