Lavi had jumped at the door slamming, muttering more obscenities as he cursed Komui in as many languages as he could recall in the moment. When Allen asked him for help, he sighed and set the confounding list on one of the many stacks of boxes and walked over to the door. Allen was trying to pry it open.

“Why don’t you just use the doorkn— oh. Why… Why is there no doorknob?” Lavi asked, a sudden feeling of dread washing over him. He stared at the door, a sinking feeling in his stomach. He pushed the door, hoping it would swing open, but only met with solid oak.

Allen put his shoulder to the door and shoved, but it didnt budge.

“I would really hate to have to break it down with Crown Clown, I dont think Komui would like that…” he muttered, backing up to kick at the door. Maybe he could just break it a little if he kicked around where the lock would be?

He forgot how close the first rows of shelves began from the door, and backed right into one. He felt it tip and unthinkingly grabbed the closest shelf and pulled to keep it from crashing down into the other shelves. He managed to pull it back upright, but it tilted towards him instead, and the entire top shelf of boxes slipped forward and fell.

So, only seconds from preparing to kick down the door, Allen found himself laying on the floor after several boxes of unknown contents crashed around him, covered in dust and chemicals.
