Wow, finally some good news!
Anyway, at first I was kinda having fun, saying "GAAAAYYYY" because of that long hug... Then I gone "What...?" Ok, to be REALLY honest, I´m not that surprised. Coming to think, it makes some sense when you think about the clown Mana being drawn to child Allen in the circus.
But as usual, we got more questions than answers. Now, how both the versions of their story together connect to each other? Why the "Earl" had his memories changed? And why exactly the Millenium Earl was "reborn" into "twins"? Aaaah, my head.
