It was taking everything for Kanda to even go through with this. His bravado couldn't help him just tough this out, since this was about him, and not Allen, not Lavi, not Lenalee. Him. He could tough it out if it were about anyone else, because that's just who he was.
"... After Alma gained his Innocence, and—" How could he do this without saying what they really were? That they had already died in an Akuma attack, and were only brought back to life out of sheer desperation on Leverrier's part to win the war? In the back of his mind, he could hear her voice, faintly. "—...something inside him snapped. He killed everyone in the lab, except two people.
He tried to take me with him, so we could be together, but it didn't happen. I thought I killed him with Mugen." A pause, and Kanda simply grips his elbows a little tighter, making it a point to not even look at Lenalee.
"He didn't really die, though. The Order kept him alive. Human experimentation stopped when Komui took over. I don't think he's aware of it, but- The Order were the ones that turned Alma into an Akuma." Kanda wasn't sure how, since there were so many holes that he couldn't fill in himself, but. It didn't take a genius to figure out that part of the Akuma plant must have somehow been delivered to Leverrier during the Noah Invasion back home.
"The other Alma said he had killed me, too." He didn't want to answer the question on the Noah's involvement. He was sure Allen didn't want him too, either, although he had already told Lavi his theory on that.
