Work has been progressing at a slower-than-usual pace. While I got through the food shortage alive, I still constantly feel tired. It's probably a just a stubborn cold though. Still, I've managed to compile information from August of last year onward, picking up from hereI heard about a boat being finished. When it takes off, would there be enough

...an impressive collection of information once again.

[boy_fatality]

Th-thank you. It's just organizing what gets collected, really.

We're trying to find common threads, maybe something relating to getting back home. It's tedious and going very slowly, but we want to find the truth.

[musicboxsoldier]

That's a reasonable approach, who else are you working with?

[boy_fatality]

Edward Elric. Do you know him?

[musicboxsoldier]

I might have heard his name before, but I haven't interacted with him personally.

[boy_fatality]

Ah. If you get the chance, you may want to talk to him. He might have something of use.

Just... don't mention his height. Or milk.

[musicboxsoldier]

Alright, I'll keep his name in mind.

...sensitive topics?

[boy_fatality]

Very sensitive topics.

[musicboxsoldier]

I won't mention either topic to him... they don't have any relevance to the objective at hand anyways.

[boy_fatality]

It's vastly better that way. You can sometimes find him in the library, usually when we're working. We've been talking ourselves in circles, second guessing and third guessing a lot lately.

[musicboxsoldier]

It seems that you two have been effective to a certain point though.

[boy_fatality]

I'm glad to hear that we've been of some use around here.

[musicboxsoldier]

...more so than others.

[boy_fatality]

I wouldn't say that. A lot of people here have worked hard to make this city habitable.

[musicboxsoldier]

....I suppose so.

[boy_fatality]

S-sorry. I know you want to go home... but d-don't hold toomuch against the people brought here.
