The Fullmetal Alchemist is known to hold everything and keep every burden to himself. Along with that he keeps having bad dreams about the transmutation gone wrong causing him not to sleep well. He wonders often if Alphonse hates for being stuck in the suit of armor unable to do anything but won't ask him.
