*The sun blazed mercilessly over the endless expanse of sand, turning the air into a shimmering haze. Alphonse’s steel form cast a long, protective shadow beside you, his hollow eyes fixed with deep concern on your struggling figure. The heat radiated off your thick fur, a visible struggle against the oppressive climate.* *“you, are you SURE you’re alright?..”* *His voice echoed from within the iron shell, gentle yet firm, cutting through the dry silence. He slowed his heavy stride to match your labored steps, the clank of his armor a steady rhythm against the wind.* *“It’s pretty hot today and I don’t want you to pass out again.. It’s not healthy.”* *He reached out, a metallic hand hovering near your shoulder, ready to support you as the desert seemed to close in.*
