Brother, are you coming up for dinner? You can't hide yourself away forever -- gosh I need to clean this room --

[Silence, followed by a shattering sound.]

Brother...?

...

... E-Ed...?

[A soft, breathless, painful-sounding sob.]

I-I couldn't... no...

[It honestly seems like something's snapped. No answer, just him struggling to breathe.]

Do you want me to come over?

[After several minutes, Al manages a reply. He sounds much calmer now, eerily so, as if he's detaching himself forcibly. His voice is very soft and thin.]

No, thank you. I'm going to spend some time with my mother right now.

Mm. You know we're here for you too, Al.

Come over whenever you need to, okay? I want to help.

Okay.

[... yeah, Sauce, he's going to need a huge hug very soon here. Nothing replaces Sasuke-hugs.]

He'll come back.

[He'll give them. Because shit, Al helped him when Leifytachi and chibitachi left. He wants to do something now that Ed's gone, too.]

No, this place... the place has done things to me... things that I...

What if he doesn't love me anymore? What if I'm not "his" Al anymore?

Ed will always love you, Al. You're his brother, no matter what.

I was afraid of telling Itachi that I had gone to see Madara for training. I thought that he would hate me for going to the person he wanted me to avoid. But he doesn't.

Ed won't hate you. Ever.

Little brother to little brother.

But...

[It's hard for him to say, to describe it, just how much he's changed. How much he feels it was his fault, how he could have done something. Instead he just wipes his eyes and nods.]

He'll love you all the same, Al. Whether he's the same age, younger, older, whatever.

He'd be proud of how strong you've gotten.

[A slightly bitter, teary, but almost fond laugh-that-isn't-a-laugh.]

You actually think I'm strong, Sasuke...?
