** The aforementioned scene [[HarsherInHindsight becomes worse]] when you realize that in chapter 167, Cross told Allen that [[spoiler: when he becomes the fourteenth he would have to "kill someone he cares about"]]. His paranoia over [[spoiler: hurting Johnny]] in this chapter shows that Allen is still, absolutely, ''horrified'' over the fact that he might end up doing that due to [[spoiler: the 14th taking over him.]]
