For the upcoming fight ahead.

I wish you all the best. I would ...like to see that we are all able to come back from this. [Some muttered Xingese that translates out to "I do not wish to bury a friend."]

...

I feel as though we should do something before tomorrow, but I can't think of what.

This is true. Though I have doubts we've ever faced something the sized of a building before-- [Pauses. Corrects that.] At least I haven't, ah, yet. Yet?

Mm. Watanuki is training extra hard. We will be fine!

Re: [Voice]

[for_xing]

That is also true.

I wonder what we are to do once this is over.

[Voice]

[for_xing]

I suppose we should wait for what they have to say once this is all over.

Speaking with Watanuki seems in order also. I'm ...not all that clear on how he feels about it all. He seems to have been here for quite some time, longer than us.

[Voice]

[for_xing]

Indeed.

He was.

--Ah. Alphonse. I ...wish to ask you something.

[Voice]

[for_xing]

...I feel --dumb about not asking this before, and it showed when my shadow appeared.

I know you said the circumstances were ...desperate. What ...What exactly happened that day? With the Stone? As much as you can recall, Alphonse. I really want to know.

[A long thoughtful pause as he takes all this in.

then, finally.] I see. So it was that way.

[Trying to grasp that other him's thinking.]

Do you think that, with the extent of my injuries, I would have made it had we escaped?

[Voice | Private]

[for_xing]

[That hesitation tells him enough. It must have been pretty bad.]

I see.

[Some relief is evident in his voice.]

Thank you. That's what I needed to know.

[Voice | Private]

[for_xing]

Then it's only a matter of time before I reassume control. Its good to hear.

My shadow will be a little more at ease now.
