Array 089 [Voice]
I wonder if there is a time limit to how long we'll stay here. Rather than wanting to go home, I'm finding myself more afraid that I will. If this place is fixed, I'll forget everything, at best, at worst I'll come back d- ... with nothing

[Well, isn't this grand? For perhaps the first time in his afterlife, he wonders what Matsumoto might do in this situation. This train of thought grinds to an immediate halt when alcohol and ice cream come into the equation.]
If your friend is no longer around to do what he'd intended ... perhaps you could take on the burden for him. And if that burden is too large, there's likely no end to the amount of aid others here would be willing to offer someone like you.

Suffice to say that if anyone else knew what I knew, without the relationship we had and considering how much he loved me, they would be dead to prevent the truth from escaping.
I will be unable to help him from my position, and I won't be able to tell him how much I care about him.
It will be like when this Sasuke first arrived all over again, and Itachi is too professional and too detached to second-guess things. He won't yell at me, he won't hate me. He'll simply eliminate me.
He committed genocide at the age of thirteen for these goals. He killed children. He killed his own mother and father. I would be nothing to him.
Nothing.
And I will be unable to protect him.

If he were to kill you here, you would return. A price would be paid, but you would return, and you'd be even more of a liability then. If he's as intelligent and professional as you say, he won't allow that to happen.
[He knows that's not what Alphonse is worried about, but he's never been talented at this sort of thing.]
And ... if you mean nothing to him...
Won't that make it easier to protect him?

No. It would only mean that I'm out of danger. The reason he and I were publicly distant was as a measure of protection for me. His caring about me at all put me in danger. I was a potent way to harm him.
... now that you mention it, now that I have no hostage value against him... this might be easier in terms of the job itself.

...But only the job itself.

I had someone helping me, but then they disappeared. Now will be the time to test out what I'm really made of. When he comes back, I have to be ready.
