Alphonse sat on the train, listening to the tracks clacking below.
Beside him slept his older brother, smashed-up automail arm laid across his lap, rattling.
Ed's brow furrowed and he shifted uncomfortably, a distressed, "Nngh… Mom…" issuing from his lips.
Meaning to wake him, Al reached over and laid a gauntleted hand on Ed's shoulder.
But the train abruptly jolted, snapping the blond awake.
"Brother, go back to sleep. We won't be in Resembool for a while. You'll need your strength once Winry sees what you've done to your automail," Al gently coaxed.
Edward nodded wearily and dosed back off.
