Hello there.
This pic and the Bleach pic popped up in my mind at the same time. I hope the idea behind this is kinda clear. Well, the one in the middle is Allen at the time before he met Mana. So to say, that was the time when he could choose the path to walk on on his own.
But meeting Mana changed everything. It´s not even clear if Allen chose the path to walk on himself. But somehow the path that was chosen led to both: to exorcists and to Noah. how will things turn out...?
