[The ticking of the clock in the dark room is almost unbearably loud. Al is on the bed of the pull-out couch, curled up with Sasuke in the middle of the living couch, staring at the clock. He doesn't yet seem to realize that the PCD is recording.
Though it's hard to see in the dark, the young man's eyes are rimmed in red.
Alphonse sits up, putting his chin on his hands as he stares at the clock. Sasuke makes a soft, muffled noise beside him, and Al reaches out a hand to stroke his messy hair until he calms and slides back into sleep.
There is a loud bang at the front door, followed by a soft curse.
Alphonse bolts up as though someone's stuck him with a pin, and the door swings open, letting in a flutter of snow.
Though there's hardly any light, the figure in the doorway, leaning heavily on the frame, is unmistakeably Edward Elric.
The brothers' eyes meet for a split second, and then Ed half-smiles. Al lets out a yell, darts across the room and proceeds to tackle Edward out into the freezing cold, sending up a whirl of snow and followed by muffled curses, laughter, and grunts of pain.]
((ooc: Pretend this was posted the night after Ed's accident. Ffff timelines.))
