Okay but I just ended up thinking about what if before Neah completely takes over Allen’s “Mask of Mana” falls away and there’s just mouthy, rude little Red left behind. He’s making this big show about how he’s fine and he doesn’t need anyones help but underneath it all he’s just a scared little boy who wants to be loved for him before he’s gone. 

He doesn’t want to be “Allen” because Mana’s Allen was a dog and not him. He knows that. He’s always known that but at the time he didn’t care because “he” was loved.

He doesn’t want to be “Allen” anymore because the Black Order’s Allen is more Mana than him. He’s not the polite young man they’ve came to love but he didn’t care because “he” was loved.

He just wants to go back to being “Red”. To being himself. A bratty little British street rat who tries his damn hardest. He wants to be loved as himself instead of having to be someone he’s not. Just once. To prove at least someone cared about him for him before he’s swallowed up by the 14th’s memories.

LOUDER
LET ALLEN BE RED
LET MANA STOP BEING THE END ALL BE ALL OF CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT

STOP BRAINWASHING AND SINGLE POINTING COMPLEX PROBLEMS WITH ABUSE AND MEMORY TRAUMA
