[Al can't help a flinch when Greed mentions Martel--god, please don't let him ask what happened to her. Al doesn't know if he could handle telling Greed of her fate.]
Unfortunately, she wasn't going to let us out of her grasp is she could help it. I think she was willing to do anything to keep us.
[Al's eyes squeeze shut, and he nods.] It was only because Brother's soul hadn't yet been absorbed back into the Gate that I was successful, even with the Stone. I even was able to give him his arm and leg back, Dante had torn them off of Wrath to keep him from using me to bring back Sloth...
[Yet another death on his head. It's a good thing Hell didn't exist, or Al would be certain to burn there.]
And then the dummy turned around and brought me back. He gave up his arm and leg again, and was trapped in that alternate world the same way Dad had been. When I came to down there Dante was gone, and I couldn't remember anything of the last five years. It was like I'd just woken up after we'd tried to bring Mom back.
