A month of extended leave goes by and Al could see no change in Ed at all. If anything he was worse. He only did what was absolutely necessary and at times he didn’t even do that.
Al couldn’t count the times he woke screaming.
He couldn’t count the times he’d walked into his brother’s room and found him there just as he’d left him the night before Clutching Roy’s coat huddled in a corner or staring out the window.
He seldom slept or ate and it was only Al’s watchful eye that kept him as balanced as he was.
If you could call it that.
Three days before he was to report back to active duty the most disturbing thing happened. He heard Ed talking in the next room. When he entered he saw no one but Ed and that increased his worry in a way Al didn’t think possible.
When he confronted Ed about it he didn’t answer he just gave Al that blank stare he was becoming much too accustomed to seeing on his brother’s face.
Days later when he finally did answer it didn’t ease Al’s mind at all, in fact once he heard the answer he realized he preferred the silence.
Ed said he missed talking to Roy the most… so when he was alone that’s exactly what he did.
