Roy shot up in his bed, fingers clenching against the sheets of his bed as he breathed hoarsely.

What...? It was day again? But he'd just - he'd just! Slowly, the alchemist allowed himself to calm down, letting his muscles loosen as he glanced at his lap, where his keyring was lying. He snatched it and shoved it into his pocket quickly, then stood from his bed and dusted himself off.

He had found a door, one that had actually opened. He knew where it was, and he even knew which key he'd used. Roy had to tell someone, and fast; it was too much trying to keep that sort of information to himself. It had been so long since they had made any progress...

Of course Hughes was the one he wanted to confide in; not to mention he had to check and see what had happened with Heiderich. Waiting impatiently for the nurse, he glanced around and finally noticed how his room had changed. Someone was going to be staying with him now? They must have run out of space. He wasn't too perturbed by the unexplainable change, since it had happened so many times before.

His nurse entered and he quickly moved toward her, eager to get to the cafeteria.

"My, my, Mr. Wilson. You really did sleep in this morning."

Roy blinked. Had he missed breakfast, then? He didn't care particularly much about that, he just need to get to Hughes, so he shrugged and the nurse escorted him without another word.

When they ended up in the cafeteria anyway, he was a little confused. He hadn't overslept at all! Well, he wasn't going to worry about it. He scanned the room for Hughes, and found him easily enough, but the news he had been so eager to share was forgotten when he realized who he was speaking to.

Envy. Not the same one who had been here before, most likely, but it was still the homunculus who had killed his friend. Roy balled his fists and seethed, but he had the foresight to arrange his bangs over his homunculus eye before approaching the two.

He drew up behind Hughes and placed a hand on the man's shoulder in support. He glared at the sin. "What are you doing?" he asked, tone sharp and cold.
