Ah I see. :) I suppose there was a bit of time between this original post, my response, and the progression of the manga, wasn't there? *chuckling at herself.*

The thing that puzzles me about Nea is his apparent interest in Allen as a person- which I have the feeling most of the Noah do not do in regards to their reincarnated hosts, and there have been a few times where it seems like he could have taken more permanent control, but hesitated. Even Tyki views himself as a seperate individual from his Noah half in a way that shows he recognizes his "darker" side is there, but he doesn't view it as a part of his other self or as another person- for the time being anyhow. (Foreshadowing????)

It might actually be *because* their goals are so similiar Nea is taking his time devouring Allen's personality, and he probably recognizes that his current host's persona is valuable in other ways, so he may deliberately be trying to keep Allen alive for as long as possible (or at least as long as he can use him.) Technically, this would mean that at least in the immediate future Nea isn't Allen's worst enemy *just yet*- but  this is a series where in retrospect it really could go either way, and I hope my writing doesn't make it seem I have a set idea on any one scenario- I prefer to keep an open mind when a story like this still is developing in so many ways. :)

BTW- thank you for the fast response. ^.^ This is actually really interesting to talk about with another. I'd love to hear more of what you think!
