The needle makes contact with the smooth grooves of the disc. Golden eyes brighten when the sound of white noise turns melodic as Beethoven's music inundates the room. He pushes the window panes open and begins his climb up the scaled roof. He finds his usual spot on the incline and plops. With his arms resting on his bent knees, Edward raises his gaze to the moon and—
"It sure is big today," Alphons says.
Edward spots his roommate also climbing up the roof.
"It sure is…" He murmurs.
The full moon was shining bright and Edward couldn't help but to lose himself in its splendor.
"Edward—" Alphons starts saying but stops himself. The melancholy painted on his roommate's face tells him that he needs some space. He makes a move to leave when he was interrupted by a question.
"Do you think that they're looking at the full moon or the new moon?"
Alphons offers him a tight smile; Edward was talking about his brother and his childhood sweetheart…
"I think they're looking at the new moon," he humors Edward, but his logic does little to lift his roommate's spirits.
Alphons looks at the full moon and an idea pops in his head.
"Don't you worry, Edward. I'll build us a rocket to take us to the moon then we'll see who's right."
Edward couldn't help but burst into laughter. He was wiping away the tears prickling at the corner of his eyes when he said: "Okay, challenge accepted."
