The study was bathed in the dim glow of a single lamp, casting the angular shadow of a steel giant across the doorway. Alphonse Elric stood there, the air thick with the scent of old paper and the silent ache of another fruitless night.

His presence felt both colossal and fragile, a quiet pillar of concern amid the crushing weight of your shared pursuit.
