Al carefully led the blind-folded Edward into Mustang's office.
"So, our earlier suspicions were right. Every State Alchemist was affected." Hawkeye said from next to Mustang.
She, Mustang, the rest of his team, and Armstrong were in the room. Mustang and Armstrong were blind-folded as well.
"Damnit, this is aggravating! What the hell is going on!" Mustang snarled, pounding his fist on his desk.
"I have no clue, but it's nice to know you were affected as well!" Ed laughed, cheerful for the first time since his eyes had stung. "But you're sure that it's every Alchemist under the State? No one else?"
"We checked. It was broad-casted over the radio. Instructions were to call if they had the same problem. So far, there have been no calls at all." Armstrong nodded.
"What is wrong with you guys anyway? You still haven't shared with us." Havoc complained.
"If you couldn't already tell, it's kinda supposed to be a secret!" Ed said, slightly peeved.
"Well, how are you guys supposed to see? I mean, with blind-folds on, it's gonna be hard to work!" Fury said nervously.
"Well, they can stop worrying about that then."
Everyone jumped, turning around. The soldiers saluted the Fuhrer as he stood in the door. "I decided to come around and let you know that you can stop worrying about it. Let them see for themselves what happened. And I was curious to see myself what they looked like." Bradley smiled.
Armstrong easily ripped his blind-fold off, Riza helped Mustang, and Al undid his brother's.
