(no subject)
Well, I suppose as a result of the events of the past couple weeks, my jaw is repaired. I went to the doctor today to have it examined and everything seems to be fine. I suppose it is lucky, although I am not sure it makes up for the events of the past week. Which, by the way, I am not at all inclined to discuss, so bitte, do not bother.
Anyway, back to work as usual. And Alphonse, I am sorry that recent events in my life have meant I have not had a chance to teach you much at all. Bitte, you are welcome to come over whenever you like after I am home from work. I have some ice cream left that Fräulein Clara made and you are welcome to come and have some with me.

Edward,
As much as I hate the thought of you and Alphonse fighting, I am glad to hear you are alright and that you think he will not be a bother. It worries me greatly that I do not have anyone here with me to help out in case he should attack again. I am nowhere near as good a fighter as you. If he should bother me again, I will let you know, though the secondhand knowledge may easily spread more quickly than anything I write. Still, the point is that I appreciate your offer of help greatly.
I am very relieved to know that the schizophrenia is leaving you alone for now. I can only imagine how painful that must be for you. Making your medicine was never a burden, it was something I always would willingly do for you, and I will again should you for some reason need me to. But I am sure Herr Envy can procure most of those herbs more easily than I can anyway.
Gott, this past week... I do not know what to do. I know what happened with me, I can remember it all very clearly, and the more I try to make it go away the more it haunts me. I feel like once again I have nobody to talk to but you, and for that I apologize, but it is not a matter I could ever bring up with Winry or Clara. It is really hard for me to be around them right now. Clara much more so. The things I did were awful... The mind that took over my body was one that was kind and charming but absolutely amoral in certain respects, and given what happened, I wish so badly to forget... If it is not too horribly uncomfortable for you, I would not mind talking over the telephone, but if you would prefer to keep only to writing instead, that is alright as well. I just need to talk to someone and you are the only one here who knows me well enough to have any sympathy for what happened. I met you over that past week, too, I am fairly certain, only it was not you so much as a person who looked like you but acted entirely different, much like what happened to me. You would not have liked the person in your body, I do not think. You are lucky to be unable to remember. It was not your life that you are forgetting, anyway, it is his.
A castle to yourself... What an impressive gift that is. I wish I could see it. It must be so remarkable to have so much to yourself. But you know, if someone were to give me such a gift, I do not know what I would do with it. A castle is certainly much more suited to you than to me. I can easily imagine you as the king of a realm, with a town of devoted followers, although the image also makes me chuckle a bit. As for friends... I found that friendship in you a long time ago. You are the best friend I could have, and a good friend is much more important than a lover. Receiving this letter from you brightened my day, which was extremely important to me given how I am feeling about life in general these days. I am glad for even the smallest things that can bring me happiness right now.
Good luck with the vaccination. If anyone can beat this, you can. I will pray for you.
Alfons
