[Al thought long and hard about whether to filter this away from anyone, especially people like the Joker, but in the end he decided against it. The Guide is for everyone, and it will hardly come as a surprise to people like them that they're warned against.

He's been working on it for days now, feverishly using it as a way to distract from all that's happened. It's not worked so well, he feels a hollow ache inside and he can't stop thinking about all the people that he's failed, right back to Tadashi. Steph is only the latest one, but it cuts deeply. He feels so helpless, so useless, and perhaps that's why he's thrown himself into updating the survival guide. Maybe he can help others in this way, maybe he can help keep even one person alive.]

Good morning, everyone, it's Alphonse Elric here. I'm sure a lot of you are already aware of the survival guide, but it was getting out of date and-- Well, I've rewritten it.

[There's a fairly long pause, before this document is sent out to everyone.]

I really hope it helps.

[His voice is softer, almost sad, before he forcibly pulls himself to a brighter tone.]

I'm exploring right now in one of the new areas, so maybe I'll have even more to add to it before long, huh?
