No, you're not. And you haven't been for a long time... *putting a hand on Alfons's shoulder, gently pushing him towards a chair to make him sit down* Just...let us figure out something we can do about this...
*quiet* Neither of us want you to die, Alfons. And we're going to do our best to make sure that doesn't happen. But you have to stop being so damn fatalistic...
Dammit, Alfons! It's never too late! You can't think like that!
*reaching up into his sleeve, quickly undoing his right arm and letting it drop to the floor*
Do you have any idea what things would be like if I'd just given up the way you are now? Al would be dead. Along with a lot of other people. And you and I would have never even met. What do you think will happen if you just give up and die now? What will happen to the people who matter the most to you?
*just rests his head on Alfons's, and waits for the fit to pass. Not like there's anything else he can do...except give him a hug, too. Doesn't want to lose Alfons. Hence the damn stubbornness to avoid outright crying.*

Really...you two shouldn't fuss over me, or anything.

Damnit, Edward! I am dying! I know that, and there's nothing that --
*oh, sorry, the shouting called for another coughing fit. 8|*
