Allen didn't cry for Tim's death and that breaks my heart even more because that means he'sstill in shock of his death and he's not free of his emotions, give a break to Allen Walker.

DGM 229 - Panthaleia’s Translation Notes
HI GUYS, GUESS WHO'S NOT DEAD
(it's us)
(especially @krorys)
(hooray)
On this fine summer day we are delighted to bring you chapter 229, which is full-length and charming as heck. I had a lot of fun with this one, guys, and I hope you enjoy reading it half as much as I enjoyed translating it.
1.) Cover: LOVE YOU TOO, DUMBSHIT ♥
2.) Wait, since when can the present change the past? I stared at this for a while to make sure I had it right and yeah, that's definitely what it says:
現在[f: いま]だけが過去と未来を変えられる genzai (f: ima) dake ga kako to mirai wo kaerareru
w hat
3a.) I goofed up: the town is locked down with talismans, not tighter than the field of one such. Will fix when I can.
3b.) I'm not 100% sure if it should be Operation "Lola" or "Roller;" the katakana say "ro-la-," which could be either. I liked Lola better so I went with that, but if I get proven wrong later, this'll be here to prove I did consider the other possibility. :P
4.) "Only Kanda and the general have left since then" GOSH I WONDER WHERE THEY WENT? GEE
(I mean, I can't really blame them for not suspecting the heretofore impeccably loyal Tiedoll. They're still going to be kicking themselves in a little bit, though.)
5.) RIGHT IN THE SLAMMER, BYE. Hilarious as that was, though, it's really nice to see Kanda use his vicious reputation for good! His embarrassment over the charade probably lent it much of the genuine intimidation factor that chased off the Finders. It was a really effective way to keep them from searching the carriage, though I can't imagine it was fun to be Johnny back there, squished in with a worked-up Kanda and Allen (who was probably quietly goading him, to boot).
Extra note: I realize that "lololol" is extra non-period accurate but Hoshino literally wrote "wwww" there sooooo.
6.) Sweet Krory, hoping so hard he won't actually find them, pretending to look for them anyway to protect his place with the Order. Sad anxious baby. It looks like Chaozii's suspicious, which isn't surprising.
7.) That fukkin stream-of-consciousness background text panel felt like a personal fuck-you from Hoshino to every translator working on this, lmao. God.
ETA: There was actually more of it that we couldn’t fit in there. For real. The full section:
This is the next step. I must not stop. I have to get moving. They're desperate enough to bet their lives on this, after all, but I'm just as desperate to escape. To be frank, the bullets from Master's Judgement were much more difficult to evade than the debt collectors. I really don't want to go through that again. It was practice, though, and after that, running from the debt collectors has been easy as falling off a log.
To make it clear, his monologue is a flashback from before he fled the Order, so it’s not about his current flight. He’s just talking about the repo men.
8.) Tiedoll and Johnny bonding over the loveliness of a starry sky is both tremendously charming and tremendously sad. Let the Science Division see the sky sometimes, Order?? Maybe???
9.) Allen can't even look at Tim's remains, and Johnny can't look at him because of how much it hurts to do so, this is THE MOST painful thing. I'm crying. I never expected to be this emotional about an animated blob of gold with creepy teeth and no eyes.
10.) My favourite part of the next page is Lujun's little aside on the left margin. YOU TELL 'EM, BUDDY
11.) lmao @ Johnny's eventual lack of surprise over Link being alive because he's a) ex-CROW and b) works for Lvellie?? I'm not sure what Johnny thinks Lvellie is capable of, exactly, but it's clearly more than he probably actually is. Despite his baking prowess, he is not actually magic so far as we know (unlike almost everyone else).
12.) ohhh mannnnn I was wondering if Allen would risk trying to recruit any more allies from the Order despite the risk of Falling, and here's my answer: resounding nope
It's killing me that despite how far he'd come re: relying on his comrades more, not trying to do everything himself, he... actually does kind of have to, this time? He can't trust anyone, himself least of all. There is a clear and present danger to everyone around him should they help him or learn any more than they do know, including but not limited to the Fall and/or Apocryphos' attentions. Kanda should stay behind, with the Order, for all those reasons as well as the current frailty of his used-up, exhausted body. So should Johnny, as he's essentially defenceless, and it's much harder to fight while protecting someone vulnerable. Going it alone is terrible for Allen himself, but the right call for literally every other reason, and I'm in pain.
13.) Okay the flashbacky bits are a little confusing, but most of those lines are from the third Reverse novel, the "Lost Fragments of Snow" story about how Mana and Allen met. I dug up my novel just to make sure of who said which parts of it:
Red: Why aren't you crying? (about Allen-the-dog’s death)
Mana: Guess my tears have all dried up.
Red: Didn't you share your lives? (again, re: Mana and dog)
Mana: If I grieve, the Earl will come... (re: Mana’s scrambled memory around the topic of sorrow summoning the Earl)
Mana: Because you were Allen [the dog's] friend, right? (Mana realizing why Red was crying over Allen-the-dog’s grave)
Allen internalized a lot back then, and in the moment is basically thinking that he can’t allow himself to grieve for Timcanpy, because it might draw the Earl’s attention to him again after he just barely escaped. I’m just. I’m in agony.
14.) There's one tiny odd thing in the next bit that might be nothing, but I'll include it just in case anyone else notices it and wonders: Allen does end the I can't tell you anything after all sentence with the "ya" sentence-final particle, which is mostly specific to southern Kansai dialects like Osaka-ben these days, but used to be more common across the country around the time this manga takes place. Old men using it is a bit of a trope in fiction, to show how old they are, lol. He also drawls his “nannimo” (extra n) a bit, which is -- again -- a bit odd. It comes off kind of unusually casual, but then, the rest of the scene is totally in character. I’m not sure what to make of it just yet. If I change it, it would be to something like “Can’t tell you nothin’ after all.”
15.) Poor, poor Johnny. He tries so hard, but he can't seem to keep up with Allen. :((
(T/N: SHAKIRA SHAKIRA)
Onnnn the other hand, I have a feeling Allen is about to pop out of the Ark with Kanda wrapped around his throat right onto the Canbell mansion lawn, so there's... that. They'll probably startle the heck out of Lucia. Gonna be good.
-
And there you have it! No big deep symbolism or huge reveals this time around, just some good old character interaction, but I'm pretty sure it's the gasp of breath before the next storm, so you'd better savour it while you can.
Till next time~~

PS: Please direct any and all questions and comments to my Discord, @Panthaleia9705. I'm not on Tumblr at all at this time, so askbox commentary will languish in the dust for an indeterminate amount of time before I see it.

{Grief} D.GRAY-MAN SNIPPET
I wrote a thing! In the DGM Discord someone asked for Allen grieving and I delivered. It’s super short but it was written.
SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 229 UNDER THE CUT
There was a belief that there were constants in life. Alas, it was just a belief—a myth. Allen Walker could be considered a believer, even if God, the universe, the Devil—whoever—tried to make him disillusioned and jaded. Much like Yu Kanda, if he were to be perfectly honest.
Mana had been sent by God, it seemed.
Now Mana was gone.
As awful as Cross Marian was, he was invincible.
Or so Allen had thought.
Timcanpy couldn’t die. He was made of stone and had always reformed when crushed.
Timcanpy couldn’t die—or so Allen had thought.
Allen tumbled into the streets of the Ark with a cough. Kanda tumbled after him, cursing up a storm.
“Give more warning before you open up a Gate, Beansprout!” Kanda snapped as he got to his feet. Allen fixed him with a steel-colored glare.
“You weren’t supposed to follow me. This is my fight, not yours.”
“Quit it already with the self-sacrificing bullshit!”
Allen grit his teeth behind his lips, Kanda watched his jaw shift in thinly veiled rage. Kanda recognized every tense muscle, every glare. He’d seen it in a mirror.
Allen was hurt.
Allen laughed, breathy and mirthless. “You know what’s bullshit? This entire fucking situation!” Allen stood, hands fidgeting—clenching and unclenching as if he were looking for something to hit. “I mean—” his accent slipped, Cockney taking over—“I’m on the run from the Black Order, I’m livin’ with the memories, the soul, whatever the fuck of a Noah; Cross is dead, and now—now Tim is too…” His voice trailed off and broke.
Kanda watched the tears swim in Allen’s eyes before he ducked his head. His shoulders shook and Kanda arched a brow. At first Kanda thought Allen was crying. It wasn’t until Allen threw his head back that Kanda realized he was laughing.
Allen spread his arms wide. “You’ve taken every goddamn thing from me!” He screamed, at God, at the Fourteenth, at the Earl; at anyone listening. Allen’s laughs trailed off and he bent at the waist, the first sobs wracking his too thin frame.
Kanda didn’t keep track of how long he cried or how long Kanda just stood there watching. Allen’s sobs finally died down enough for Kanda to grab the front of his shirt.
“Come on, Beansprout, what is that bullshit you’ve always spouted? ‘Keep walking’?” Allen laughed again as Kanda shoved him forward.
Maybe he’d stopped believing, and maybe everything was hopeless in the end. Allen was hurt, rightly pissed, and out for some form of vengeance. He would have it, even if he destroyed himself in the process.

[Are you hungry~ ?] Krory : [thinking] Thank God... Allen may have managed to escape. I don't know how he could have, but Allen was often running away from debt collectors, so surely this time as well..... .... .... I am a coward and dishonest but... Please Allen, Please be alright....
