Man my mind is just filled with nightmare scenarios about Kanda’s near future.
Like, it’s a given that he’s gonna fight Neah-as-Allen at some point, and I don’t think that’s a fight he can win.
I’m thinking that maybe, for the sake of beautiful narrative symmetry, Kanda might try to pull the reverse of what happened during Almageddon and let himself be mortally wounded in an attempt to break through to Allen.
(He’s losing the fight and knows it–his regenerative abilities are burned out. He’s slowing down. He has no illusions of survival anyways, or winning by force, and if it worked on his own stubborn ass, maybe it’ll do the job for Allen. He never wanted to kill him anyways–not really.)
This could go a number of ways. None of them are good.
