Ah...Alphonse! You...you're all better! Oh, I'm so glad!

And...it's okay about the armour. I...I'd be scared to tell people too, if it were me.

MIRANDA! I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN TO YELL AT YOU OR MAKE YOU CRY I'M SO SORRY! I didn't mean any of what I said--I know a lot of people say those things when they're backed into a corner, but really! I didn't!

It's, um... a long story. And I'd like to share it with you, just... in some time. I've got way too much else on my mind right now.

[audio]

[clock_chime]

Ah...it's okay! I...I'm always crying! And...and it wasn't you, really, it was your illness! I'm just so glad you're back, I was so worried...

Oh, okay - you don't have to tell me, not if you don't want to.

Can we have our lessons again? I...I've missed them.

[steelbloodseal]

You're always crying?! Please don't cry! I'm sorry I worried you, I-I am! If there's anything I can do to make it up to you, please, let me know. I'm just glad I didn't come after you.

I do, and I will! Just, um, not right now. I'm still trying to deal with the whole "going crazy and getting killed by my brother" ordeal.

A-ah, of course!

[audio]

[clock_chime]

Well not all the time but I always screw up and then I get upset and you don't need to make it up to me, really, I just want us to keep on being friends!

Okay...you...you can talk to me whenever you're ready!

...

Your brother killed you?!

[audio]

[steelbloodseal]

Oh, well, I guess it's understandable to get upset over mistakes. Just don't be too hard on yourself, okay? Keep being friends? Heh, that's easy enough for me to do!

Thanks Miranda. I think I just need to get back into the swing of things.

...Uh, yeah, b-but he kinda had to because I was out to kill him and I was being all crazy and even Fai said that I'd have to be killed to be stopped! I know it's not his fault, and in a sick way I'm kinda grateful he could stop me! But. I think it probably messed him up some. And I need to make it up to him somehow.

[audio]

[clock_chime]

I...I'll try. I...I'm glad!

I'm so sorry, Alphonse...I...that must have been hard for your brother. If there's anything I can do to help, I...you just have to ask.

Ah...if you died...that means you have your chip again, don't you? Oh Alphonse, I'm so sorry...

[audio]

[steelbloodseal]

Thank you, I will. Right now I think I just need to have a word with him. Or... try to. I'm not sure what there is to really say, but anything's gotta be better than nothing.

...Damn. I do. Well... there are worse things in the world! I could ask Kamui to take it off again, but my blood seal--er, that's what's keeping my soul to the armor--is already eroded. And whatever was used to bring me back can't have done me well either.

[audio]

[clock_chime]

I...I'm sure you'll find what to say...

B...blood seal? And...is that where you're chip is? If they can bring back everyone else exactly the same, then...then surely they can do the same with you, Alphonse!
