Array 018 [Voice/Video] [Filtered from The Joker]
[Soft buzzing of static, and Alphonse's face comes into view. He looks somber and thoughtful, but there is no trace of blood or injury. His eyes look a bit darker than normal, like he hasn't been sleeping.]
I wasn't sure if I should do this, but I feel like it needs to be said. I need to set the record straight. I know I worried everyone with my last post, and I'm sorry.
[Al's eyes close, and he folds his arms, resting his chin on them for a moment.]
Some of you know this already, but I asked that this information be kept private until I was safe and had been healed.
[Al's eyes open slowly, and he stares at the PCD.]
I was attacked by the Joker.
...
If he had known about my alchemy, I don't think I would be alive right now.
I won, but I gravely underestimated him.
[Alphonse shifts minutely, and his eyes dim still more as he dips the lower half of his face behind his folded arms, but the words are still clear.]
There is a chance he survived what I did to him. He is still out there, or will be.
...
I'll answer any questions you have now.
Thank you for coming and keeping me safe, Naruto. I'm so glad you were there. Zedd... thank you. Thank you so much. I don't know what the Equivalent Exchange was for healing me but I know it wasn't easy.
