[Al's laying on his back, in his bed in the Elric household, and though his expression is hard to read, his fingers are trembling just slightly, and his voice is a soft, scratchy whisper.]
... how do we know what's real and what isn't?
Have the Animus done other things to us we don't know about? Is there any limit to their powers? Is there anything else we've forgotten or misremembered?
They just made me forget the most important person in my life was important at all. They made me forget another person entirely.
... they altered my memories so much that I did things I promised myself I'd never...
[Al puts an arm over his eyes, gritting his teeth. It takes a little while for him to calm down.]
Is there any way to know what else they've done to us?

Cassidy, I really liked being your little brother... even if it's not real, would you mind if I still treated you familiarly? I feel like I know you now.

At least the Animus got one thing right, huh?

You weren't too bad of a father.

I know nothing's changed, but... I still had fun. Thanks.

[Al's voice is soft, low, sad, and guilt-ridden.]
You don't have to hear me say it, do you?

[Private to Edward and Trisha // Unhackable]
... you two are the most important people in my life. I love you dearly, and I'd never give you up. Not for anything. Living another life was just... I knew, somewhere, deep down, and something was very wrong.
I love you, Brother. I love you, Mom.

You know him, Mr. Kakashi. You know what he's going to do now. Ms. Unohana, can you prepare a room where he'll have some privacy?
