Well, it is like--I chose Allen's starter memory to give him a fairly strong (if kind of incorrect) sense of self to distance him from the first Allen, and Excel was the first in that initial thread to concede calling him "Red" instead of "Winter," which was like IMMEDIATE BONUS POINTS! SOMEONE IS ACTUALLY LISTENING TO ME YESSSSSSSSSSsssssssssss. And she's continued kind of inadvertently topping him in ways that really work with his whole tsun "I don't trust any of you bastards 8|" current worldview, because she's not trying to tell him ~everything is great and wonderful~ but just being helpful and nice and sticking up for him when he had his little freakout. And she's his ALLY against Sion being stupid, and all of it has sort of combo'd into Allen ... not quite being at a point where he's ready or willing to fully open his heart, but sort of reaching a stage where he's willing to admit that he likes her and wants her around, which is a BIG STEP.

So basically Sion's influence is softening him up and Excel's is what's making sure it actually sticks.

ALSO I am totally canonblind for yours except for like three episodes of the anime, WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING.
