Isn't it supposed to be that no one from outside knows much about us, though....

Decline... I hadn't really thought about it. I didn't even know things were declining. But although I never thought I was really invested in alchemy before, that idea... does make me sad. I mean, not just sad like when you hear about something that sounds sad, but somewhere... deep down....

Are you thinking about becoming an alchemist because you don't know what else to do with yourself, or because you are sad at the idea of not doing so? You should tell your homeroom teacher about this next time you meet for career counselling.

I really... I guess I'm not sure. It's not just about not knowing what I want to do with myself... it's more like... I don't know, they ask me what I want to do as an alchemist, specifically. And I can't really see beyond that.... I do want it... I think I really do, but... the question of what to do with it... I want it, but it's like there isn't anything else I want beside it, you know?

As for being sad, I think I would be sad if I didn't do it.... It's not like I understand why, but I feel that way. Maybe I'm just beginning to become nostalgic for this place already, for my friends, for the workshop, for the only life I've ever really known, but... I don't want to think it's just that. It's not just that....
