[The boy stops shivering...so he must be aware. He's merely so frightened that he can no longer function, nothing like the empty shell he had seen in Sora.]
It's all right, Alphonse.
[He continues to pet the boy's head as he sits down on the bed next to him. His hand then shifts to his shoulder, pulling him closer.]
You're obviously more broken than you would like others to believe. Poor thing.
[The boy seems to notice some things, but not all. Can he even hear him?]
