Allelujah seemed a little more subdued than normal when he entered the cafeteria that lunch time. The conversation with Soma had been somewhat draining and not exactly pleasant. He still couldn't quite bring himself to believe that she had absolutely no memory of him at all. What had the HRL done to her during the time since Allelujah had escaped? How had they made her forget everything that they had shared?

It didn't matter though, did it? They were enemies now in an uneasy truce. At least he didn't have to fight her here.

He filled a tray and then found himself a seat near the doorway waiting for Artemis to arrive. He couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about what he wanted to talk about, but he was Badou's friend and seemed reasonable enough.
