Chapter Title: The Change
All it took was one moment. Hohenheim watched, half-fearful, half-longingly, as his son lay, still unconscious, upon the bed. No, not his son, a homunculus, a mark of his failure. He couldn't bring him back, and had killed him himself. His attention was recaptured completely from his self-deprecating thoughts as his son stirred slightly, eyes fluttering. Blinking his golden eyes, his son came back into himself, sitting up slightly and rubbing at his eyes wearily. "…Dad…?" he mumbled, clearly confused.
In that moment, it didn't matter to the alchemist that he was only a homunculus, an imitation of his son. He still was his son, and would be forever. Drawing the boy into his arms, who blinked, startled, at the show of affection, Hohenheim held him tight, tears beginning to fall down his cheeks as he cried silently. "I'm… very glad you are alright." Even if he wasn't his true son, wasn't his real son, he was still his son, no matter what.
