[She really so wishes Envy were still here. He'd probably delight in the opportunity--maybe offer her a few insights on how to make this hurt more. But it's not like she can't improvise on her own.]
...You didn't warn anyone. Why? Can you really just... handle this all by yourself? If you'd told someone, like Allen, he could have helped...
And running off and getting hurt by yourself won't fix it, you stupid idiot.
Then do it. Tell Allen now. Tell him what's happening, tell him that I need his help now.

[There's a little gasp as Rhode replies to this conversation, eyes wide and betrayed.]
You knew?

Al's naivete has screwed him over for the last time. He's not going to have people die because Alphonse fucked up.]

And now I'm going to do something about it.
