[A wobbly smile comes to Al's face, and he nods.] I...yeah, I did. A...a lot of stuff has happened since then, but we're both okay.

[He frowns then, worried.] But...I mean, I'm so glad to see you again, that you're okay, but how are you here? [It just doesn't make any sense. Even if Scar hadn't died before the transmutation went off, the Stone had been spent, and all the souls from it were taken back into the Gate. There shouldn't be any way at all that he was alive now, and yet here he is, in the...projected flesh? Man, the technology here.]
