[Tony stumbles when Alphonse cries out, unable to stop completely when he tries to halt. He finally gets within range of the monster, but what he sees is terrifying. How that thing is supposed to be Al's mother, Tony can't imagine.
The sudden stop does let Tony dodge the creature's grasp, half accidentally because he's losing his balance. The anomaly that resembles a woman has a light in her mouth, and Tony focuses on that. He rolls out of the way of her reach, then throws the rock at her face, hoping to knock the light free.]
Just stay back, Alphonse. Close your eyes!
[He does know that it won't help, but Tony calls out anyway.]
