Tamashii

Also picking up after the anime ends, and ignoring the movie, this arc overlaps somewhat with Seishin. Anime spoilers throughout.

Al has to make his journey alone, this time.

Arc in Progress

Closed Circuit

Al wakes up, restored. Not all the news is good, though. Drama with Angst, I-4.

He and Nii-san were going to have to come up with whole new equations to talk about what had happened to him and probably some new technical vocabulary too. The thought steadied him, and he smiled.

Compression

Back with his teacher again, Al takes up his studies; this time, though, he already knows some things won’t work. Drama, I-3.

He dreamed of the color, sometimes, nights when he woke up sweating and threw open the window just to look up at the sky and know the whole world wasn’t red.
