Finally back in Central. Not that visiting Rizenbul was a bad thing, but now that we're back we can get back to work. It's nice not being a bunch of tiny pieces of scrap metal piled up in a crate, too.

...Al? Al, where'd you go? You were just there a minute ago!

You really don't know?

You don't need to worry about me, Broth--Ed. But if your brother shows up, I'll try to help him too.

...don't know what, Al?

*Ow, that hurts a little, even if he understands the reasoning.* Thanks.

The risk that comes with being attached to armor like that. Though um, it might be different in your world. I don't want to worry you unnecessarily.

Dammit, you can't just say something like that and then not elaborate!

...Souls were never meant to be separated from their real bodies like this. There's the possibility of rejection at any time.

Rejection?!

Maybe not! I mean, if you're armor then obviously things can be different, right?

I'm only telling you because there's a chance it could be important later.

That's all the more reason to find a way to fix you!

Stupid Brother. Worry about yourself.

What are you saying? Of course I'm going to worry about you!

You don't need to! You're in just as much trouble yourself.

You just said there's more time for me, so you're in more trouble!

There's no way of knowing that for sure! And you can't fool me into thinking it's easy to live like that.

Of course it's not easy! That's why I don't want you going through it!

I don't want you to, either! And I'm almost used to it by now.

Well, so am I. If one of us has to be stuck this way it's going to be me, got it?

No. I can promise you it won't be.

And how are you going to make that happen, huh?

However I have to. I don't care how big you are now, there's still no way you could beat me.

I'm the same size as you and I'm a better fighter. *He lies!*

A better fighter? Our worlds aren't that different, Brother.

Oh, yeah?

Yep! ...How old are you, anyway?

Fifteen, why?

Younger than me, you say~?
