Theme: Roy Edward #11: "Notebook/Notes"
He had put Alphonse to bed. Considering how... insatiable, the boy had been during the night's activities, Roy knew that he was going to have the house all to himself. So... he indulged in something he rarely got to do.
He sneaked into the library, and opened Alphonse's notebook. His private journal, where he kept all of his thoughts, no matter how small. After he had lost his memory, he wanted to have some way of remembering.
It was also where he kept his notes on alchemy. Roy, of course, never asked the boy what he was researching; as a State Alchemist, he needed to stay away from even the suspicion of certain kinds of transmutations.
Roy was still shocked when he saw the latest notes in Alphonse's tidy, ever-neat hand. "I have found a way to bring Brother back to me. If I can create a suitable receptacle, I might be able to bring his soul through the Gate and bind it here. That would both restore his body and enable his return... I must find the way to do this. Taboo or not, legality or not. Brother is the most important thing in the world to me."
