Roy's POV
The door to the gloomy air filled room slowly opened. I lifted my head up and looked at the suit of armor that walked into the room. "Colonel?" Al's quiet voice ripped through the air.
"Hm?" I replied in a delicate manner.
"What happened to my brother?" He asked, sitting on a chair. I stiffened and took a shaky breath.
"Someone.....attacked him." I replied, choosing my words carefully.
"What?! By who?!" He asked shakily.
"We haven't figured out who it is yet." I replied glumly. I had a feeling that if Al had his body, he'd be crying. He looked at his injured brother.
"Ed......" He muttered. I frowned a bit and took another breath.
"Alphonse.....I'm sorry....." I apologized quietly. He turned to look at me.
"Eh? Why Sir....?" He asked.
"If I had done a better job of protecting him.....I don't think Edward would be laying there." I explained, guilt dripping into my words.
"It's okay. You tried right? That's all that matters to me. Thanks for keeping an eye out for Ed." He replied. Somehow, his words lifted some sort of invisible weight off of my shoulders. I nodded.
"Okay..." I replied softly.
"I'll be going now Colonel. I have to call Winry." Al stated, walking out of the room. Suddenly, a small groan coming from a certain blond caught my attention.
"Ed.....?" I asked softly.
"Ed.........? Who's that?" Came his reply. I froze.
"Edward, do you know who I am?" I asked him.
"N-No...." He stated. I felt my world crumble before me.
"H-How....?" I muttered in shock.
"Doctor!"
