[ Oh gosh don't cry, baby! ]

I love you, Al. I mean it.

[armoured]

[He hiccoughs and his voice is thick despite his best efforts, even though he can't actually cry.]

I love you too.

[Stupid, he's so stupid.]

It's just-- you died, and you didn't even wait to see me. You came back this whole different person with new memories and-- and it felt like you didn't need me any more.

Oh.

[ She stares at the feed for a minute, not really sure what to say. Finally she switches the feed to private. ]

I'm sorry, Al. I wasn't expecting it to be the last time we saw each other. I thought we'd all meet up again, you know? And it's not that... we're not friends because I needed something from you.

[There's the quiet sound of a shuddering exhale as he tries to bring himself under control.]

I know that. I'm sorry.

[He's not going to say any more, not when it sounds like whining in his own head. So he forces himself to try and sound more cheerful.]

So, uh-- so does Zach know he's coming to Amestris too?
