Allen makes his way to Hitomi and proceeds to hit on her shamelessly, even bending down to kiss her. He never actually makes lip contact, however, and retreats.
As Allen leaves the bridge of the Crusade, he tosses a command to Gaddes with a dismissive gesture. Gaddes gives him a thumbs-up in return. Meanwhile, in the background, Hitomi falls over and hits her head on the glass window because she is in shock over her near-kiss.
