At least Greed hadn't screwed things up and the nurse had gone off without much of a fuss. He removed his hands from the homunculus and took a step back. Even though Roy was one of the patients who had been at Landel's the longest without having his memories wiped, he had stayed out of solitary. He'd rather it stay that way, and the solution was simple - keep all of his violent attacks on other patients to after dinner.

"This isn't hell," Roy grumbled. He was surrounded by people that had died, but he hadn't. He was almost certain of that, though he didn't know why he was so sure. Still, what had happened before he'd been brought here wasn't something that could have killed him. He had been closing the Gate, which was dangerous, maybe, but not life-threatening. It wasn't as if he'd been performing human transmutation...

He wasn't denying that if there was a hell, that he would go there once he died. He would, and he'd be there right along with Envy (and most likely Greed, as well). Roy was trying to make up for what he'd done in the past through his goal of becoming Fuhrer, but he had no delusions that it would absolve him. He wasn't religious, in any case, and doubted there even was a heaven or hell. To continue hypothetically, however, Hughes would most definitely have gone to heaven. Envy could imply as much as he wanted, but there was no truth to what he was saying.

Even though the sin targeted him and touched at his weak spot, it was difficult to take him seriously knowing what he was guilty of. Roy was quickly getting tired of hearing the sin's voice - he realized Hughes was upset, but hoped that the man would come to see that there was no point in letting those words get to him. Still, he did hope Envy would listen to Hughes' demand and leave.

Turning to Greed, he scratched at his head and made sure his bangs were still smoothed over his left eye. "Is he always like this?" he asked under his breath with a sigh.
