So you could say that Allen is there to serve as Mr. Exposition, right? He knows everything already, but him going and seeing things firsthand enables it all to be reiterated again for the readers, probably with dry humor involved if Allen remains the narrator for the entire story.

I mean, that's the meta reason, at least. I wonder what Sickle actually has planned for all of this...

We probably won't even know till February, either, as Sickle seems to love ambiguity even more than mothy himself.
