[Yet Urahara can't help but remember the way Alois called out for Claude during the event, the way those slender fingers clung to him while that desperate, fearful voice kept repeating that he needed Claude.]
[What else is there to say? If he could pull out his memory of Alois telling him that story about the princess and the prince and show it to Al, he would. What a story.
[Al touches a heavy silver ring on his thumb, fiddling with it. It's clearly not his style -- it sports a large red gem of some sort, carved and inlaid with more silver and a Kanji character. Al is obviously not Japanese -- but he's worn it all the time that Urahara has known him, which means it must have been someone's. Someone important.]
My... mentor, he called me "Alphonse-kun". It was very rare that he'd call me anything else. From the day we met until the day he disappeared. It was a constant.
He was a strange man -- both the kindest and most cruel person I've ever known. I never saw his control slip, I never saw him waver in his purpose. He was ruthless, but his goals and motives were pure. His own life and self meant very little to him, but he loved more deeply than almost anyone I've ever known.
I hated him, and I loved him. I learned very much from him. Without him I would not have become the person I am, and he protected me -- and in return I believed in him until the very end.

[Though not everyone is as insanely determined as Ed and Al are.]

What if you just called me by name, like I do to you?
