166th Night: True Identity
[insert text: Reminiscences, drawing closer to the heart of things...]
Flashback!Clown: ...He was dead.
Flashback!Boy: .........He's covered in bruises.

3
Flashback!Boy: It must have been that ass Kojimo that did it. Since the crowds liked you better than him. // Whenever a performer better than him comes along, he always tries to get at them. / He may be a crappy performer, but this kind of stuff, he's pretty damn good at.
Flashback!Clown: Well, he was a very old dog. I doubt he would have lived much longer anyway. / What's done is done.
Flashback!Boy: ...... / Huh... // So what, you don't want to get revenge?
Flashback!Clown: If I were to do a thing like that, the boss would send me away and I would be forced to work for free. // [aside]may the good Lord have mercy...[/aside]
Flashback!Boy: (Agh...)
Flashback!Clown: After all, I am a mere outsider... // When tomorrow, Christmas Day, is over, I will move on to another place...
Flashback!Boy: 'S that right...

4
Flashback!Clown: Hmm? // Incidentally, who are you again?
Flashback!Boy: I'm just an ordinary errand boy... / I brought you your food, remember?
Flashback!Clown: I'm terrible with faces, you see... // Oh, my! / Now I come to think of it, aren't you all covered in bruises as well?!
Flashback!Boy: GUAHH! / You dirty - ! / Get your spit offa me, dumbass!!
Flashback!Clown: It's an antiseptic. // So were you beaten up by Kojimo-san?
Flashback!Boy: Shaddup already!
Flashback!Clown: Do you have any friends?
Flashback!Boy: SHADDUP! // Listen... when I grow up and get stronger, I'm gonna leave, so I don't need any friends in a place like this.

5
Flashback!Boy: What are you doing...?
Flashback!Clown: Did you not find it entertaining?
Flashback!Boy: Sorry, but I'm really not big on clowns and all that. / Might even say... I hate them?
Flashback!Clown: Oh, dear me. // Well, I for my part hate customers and children who refuse to laugh.
Flashback!Boy: Hmph. // Hey... // Why don't you cry? // You were living with this guy, weren't you? // Aren't you sad at all?

6
Flashback!Clown: So sad I could die!
Flashback!Boy: STOP THAT!!
Flashback!Clown: Truth is... I can't cry.
Flashback!Boy: [aside]there something wrong with him...?[/aside]
Flashback!Clown: Perhaps my tears have simply dried up... // They just won't seem to come out.
Flashback!Boy: ...The hell's with that... // Hey. // What was his name? // When I petted him yesterday, he licked my hand. // It was all warm and soft...

7
Flashback!Boy: So I thought, today, I... // Why... // ...why do I start crying so damn easily?! // Waaa~~~~~~~~h!
Flashback!Clown: I see...
Flashback!Boy: Waaaaahhh!
Flashback!Clown: (You were Allen's friend, weren't you...)

Allen: !

Allen: (So they're keeping guard...)
Lavi: (Central's special combat unit, the lurkers in the shadows... "Crow". / They're a large part of the reason why Komui feels threatened by Central. // And I hear their combat skills are extraordinary... // If Central are going to all these lengths just to keep an eye on those two... / ...they really must be...)
Allen: Mana... // ...was connected with the "Fourteenth" somehow, wasn't he.

11
Cross: Yeah. // The Fourteenth had an elder brother - a true, blood relative. // The one person who was by the Fourteenth's side right up until he betrayed the Noah... / ...and was killed by the Earl. // That was Mana Walker.

12
Allen: Brothers... // Mana... / ...and the Fourteenth... // And Master... // ...you knew this all along...?
Cross: Sure I knew it. // When the Fourteenth died, I promised him that I would keep on watching over Mana. // If I did that, he said, he would be sure to return to Mana's side one day. // You... / ...were the one who promised me that, Allen.

13
Cross: Or should I say... // "Fourteenth".

14
Johnny: Aaaaaaagh! / I can't read like this... I want to know what's going on!!
Lenalee: The rain... just keeps falling.
Johnny: Y - Yeah, you're right... You know, I hate rain... / It just unnerves me...
Lenalee: ...Yeah.
Johnny/Lenalee: .........
[bubbleSFX: tick // tick // tick // tick]
Johnny: We'd better stay awake until Allen gets back, right, Lenalee?
Lenalee: Right!

15
Lavi: (What... // ...did he just say?!)
Cross: It may not be awakened just yet, but I bet you've started to feel the presence of the Fourteenth within you, right, Allen?
Allen: Huh? What are you...
Cross: Don't play dumb. You knew the Song of the Musician. / That was his memory. // You are the human into whom the Memory of the Fourteenth was implanted. // A host who exists so that the Fourteenth may be reborn into this world once more.
[sFX: A shocking revelation...!!]
