Alphonse and Edward in “Unfinished Business”

Alphonse

I’ve dreamed of this place, it’s pretty. Are we really in the Gate?

Edward

No, we’re on the other side of it, but forget that, I want to hear about your life, Al. That is really you right? How’d you get stuck in that armor again?

Alphonse

Again? What do you mean? Oh right. You attached my soul to armor just like this, didn’t you, while my body was lost in the gate? Sorry, brother, I don’t remember any of that.

Edward

You don’t remember? What?

Alphonse

The last time I saw you was when we tried to bring Mom back, and then I woke up, and I was in Central, and a girl named Rose was taking me home, but I knew you were alive out there, somewhere, and one day, we’d be together again.

Edward

And now…?

Alphonse

I wonder how they opened that portal; will they do it again-?

Edward

Al..?

Alphonse

Brother, the transmutation I used to transfer my soul, it doesn’t last for long, and it looks like I’ve run out of time…

Edward

Al, don’t go yet! It’s too soon!

Alphonse

It’s okay, I think I know how to bring you back now. The portal they used, I’ll try to open it from my side…
