- Ed seems to be doing better. He plays checkers with me sometimes, and sometimes cards. He can cut the deck one-handed now. We're also coloring, though I think he is embarrassed by his stuff. Who would have known writing with your other hand would be so hard?

- Pinako let me read all of the progress forms, though I couldn't understand most of it. I tried looking at the medical books, but it's like reading a manual for the automail. All of those wires and tubes and they all look the same but are really something different. Winry told me that under all of that stuff is the same chemistry and physics I learned for alchemy, but I just can't see it. The amount of different kinds of cells in a body is staggering and some of the chemical types she pointed out are such large molecules that I have to think off all the different trees individually before I can put the whole thing together. It makes me really want to learn about medical alchemy.

- Winry started touching me again. She's never been the type of girl to give hugs very often, but a pat on the shoulder means so much. I almost feel human again. I don't think Ed sees it, though. He's become even more hands-off, but it could just be he's tired of being touched so much in therapy.
