Allen was unmistakably in a situation between life and death.
Allen was already bleeding heavily, and his body had become paler than usual. Despite this, the minotaur relentlessly continued pounding away on his fragile frame which was now leaning against the shakedown wall. His attempts were futile, as Allen's body was too resilient.

Not just his mother but Isabelle as well, and that made him instantly come to his senses and open his eyes
"What am I doing?" thought Allen while trying to stand up.
