Renee, acompanied by two CROWs, has a shocking truth, that leaves Komui and Bak uneasy. What it is? We don't know...yet.
Meanwhile, Kanda & Bookman are sparring, with Bookman holding Kanda's hair tie, and a giant pile of bodies that were Kanda's previous opponents. Poor them. Marie is also sparring with allen, and talking about the CROW who absorbed akuma. Allen hopes the soul of the akuma was okay, since without Innocence, the soul of an akuma is not purified. Marie wonders why Allen's worrying about the akuma. Allen apollogizes, since Marie lost a finger, but Marie says he's worried because most of the Order hates akuma, Central deems the souls as unimportant, nobody will sympathize with him, and it will be harder for Allen to carry on if he stays the way he is.
Allen thanks Marie, but he can't do that, because that would mean forgetting about Mana. Marie comments that Kanda and Allen are similar. As Allen starts yelling that he's nothing like Kanda, Marie explains that he said that because they're both idiots, and that the darkness surrounding them is so deep, he can't find a way to pull them out. While Allen's shocked, Marie attacks him, saying Allen's wide open. Allen is caught by a strange man, and as the man says innocence, he throws Allen into a pillar.
Kanda notices that the man is in crimson too, and Allen asks what the heck is wrong with that guy. Marie tries to stop Allen's bleeding left side as Allen wonders when his innocence activated, and the man, Goushi says his arm reacted to Allen's innocence in reaction to one of companions asking what happened.
Allen's left eye reacted. The man is not an akuma, but he has a dark aura around him. Allen wonders who that man is. Meanwhile, Link reprimands Goushi, saying Allen is his responsibility, and Crows should not touch him. (Is Link worried, nya?)
Goushi's companions tell him to reverse the activation, and that Madarao will reprimand him if he comtinues. Allen's friends come up to him, asking what's wrong, as Allen eyes stops reacting once Goushi "reversed the activation".
One of Goushi's companions apologizes, and introduces them "as beings who have been converted int half-akuma through biological generation", and they do not react well to innocence, and begs forgiveness. The person who explained that is called Tokusa. His smaller friend who first asks Goushi what happened when he threw Allen against the wall is called Kiredori. The two CROWs with Renee are Tevak and Madarao. Renee explains that those 5 are stationed at the Order serving as "third exorcists" under the order of the Pope.
Bak says that this was Leverrier's doing. Komui realizes that during the invasion, Leverrier sent Link to collect egg fragments. Bak says that it was them who "sealed away the Order's dark legacy as taboo", has she "forgotten the tragedy nine years ago?" Renee says that the attack on HQ helped them realize it was a mistake. Meanwhile, Link wonders, "Half-akuma?" while thinking, 'that egg!' Renee says that, "For humans to prevail over the akuma...some sacrifices are necessary." The chapter ends with Kanda alone on the bottom panel.
What does he have to do with this tragedy?
I bet Kanda was the survivor or cause of said tragedy. ;P
