There was a short pause between them. Elio remained on his position. Allen also stood there, his expression a mix of understanding and empathy as he waited for Elio to continue. At least, that's what Allen thought.
Finally, Elio gathered his courage to speak again, his words tinged with a hint of vulnerability. He raised his head to meet Allen's gaze, a sense of relief washing over him as he unburdened himself. "You know, I hate to admit it, but I think you're right," he confessed reluctantly, his voice betraying a mixture of frustration and resignation. "Sophia is not as innocent as she looks.
She is... manipulative."
Elio braced himself for Allen's response. He half expected mockery or a smug "I told you so", but to his surprise, Allen simply smiled and nodded in understanding. There was no hint of judgment in Allen's eyes, only genuine support and understanding. "Glad you realize it," Allen said calmly, his words carrying a sense of relief that mirrored Elio's own.

Elio furrowed his brows, puzzled by Allen's unexpected response. "Aren't you going to say anything about it? Like laugh at me or something?" he questioned, disbelief evident in his tone.
Allen shook his head, a solemn expression on his face. "Nope, not gonna happen. I've experienced it before. Had to peel back the layers and face the harsh reality," he replied, his voice tinged with empathy. "I won't laugh at you. We're in this together."
"Yeah, that's not something I can be proud of, and she's just trying to rally support and paint me as the bad guy," Elio grumbled, frustration evident in his tone. He couldn't deny that Sophia's actions had gotten under his skin, fueling his irritation and leaving him feeling like he was fighting an uphill battle to salvage his reputation within the guild.
Elio couldn't shake the feeling of frustration that gnawed at him. He had always prided himself on being a fair and just leader, someone who prioritized teamwork and cooperation above all else. Yet, Sophia's attempts to undermine him had thrown a wrench into his plans.
Allen nodded in understanding, his expression sympathetic. "So you're in my shoes now," he remarked, a wry smile playing at the corners of his lips. He could sense the irony of the situation, how the tables had turned and Elio found himself facing the same challenges that Allen had once endured.
Elio pressed his lips together, a hint of resignation in his demeanor. "Kinda," he admitted reluctantly, acknowledging the parallels between his situation and Allen's own struggles with Sophia in the past.
"Hope you can get out of your problem soon," Allen said, offering Elio a supportive nod. He didn't want to pry further into Elio's predicament, knowing that sometimes it was better to let things unravel on their own. Besides, Allen had his own curiosity to satisfy, and he was itching to dive back into the gaming forums to see what he had missed.
Elio offered a brief nod in response, the weight of his troubles evident in his weary expression. "Yeah," he replied, his tone heavy with resignation. He knew that resolving the situation with Sophia wouldn't be easy, but he was determined to face it head-on and emerge stronger on the other side.
With a final nod of acknowledgment, Elio turned to leave, his footsteps echoing softly against the pavement. Before he mounted his motorcycle, he paused to offer Allen a parting compliment. "Nice ride, anyway," he remarked, a genuine note of admiration in his voice as he glanced at Allen's motorcycle.
Allen grinned. "Thanks, man," he replied, his tone tinged with appreciation. He watched as Elio revved his engine and sped off into the distance.
