[Roy Mustang]

Roy wouldn't be surprised if Truth made them this way with their actions over in Ishval. They treated their own people like animals, they hunted them down under orders of the military to be living human weapons. Roy couldn't remember the exact amount of times he snapped his fingers, setting off controlled, flamed explosions- burning the lives of Ishvalans until there was nothing but ash left. It was now their turn to know what it's like to be treated like animals- Truth is surely grinning ear to ear at the gate right now. Roy knew their goal in Amestris was long over. The moment they ended up here was when everything they worked for went down the drain. There is no way for them to return home, to prevent the horrible fate that the homunculi have set for Amestris. Instead, they can only wonder and hope that Fullmetal and the others will stop the homunculi without their help.

"Back when we were caught up in the activated array, after we were torn apart- I originally ended up in a white void, with a large, gray gate behind me." He began to explain to the Lieutenant, with a serious gleam in his eyes. Roy wasn't making any of this up, it might sound hard to understand, especially in a non-alchemist's perspective. He was one hundred percent serious, he wouldn't lie to Riza. "In front of me, there was a white figure, an exact silhouette of me. It called itself Truth." He continued on, gaze not leaving Hawkeye once, blue eyes blinking. There were also other names Truth went by, like the world, the universe, god, and you(one-self). "It's a being that punishes people who commit human transmutation," Roy said with a frown, "even though I accidentally got caught in it, I was no exception."

"It forced me into the gate, shoving so much information into my head at once." Roy couldn't even explain what he saw, he guessed you have to see it to understand. He remembered how much his head felt like exploding during the ordeal, and as soon as he began to demand for it to stop, he was out of the gate. "Shortly after, I was in front of the Truth again. It explained to me what I saw was apart of my toll- and before I was able to question it, it's appearance began to change into me, and my body began to disintegrate again."

"All I remember before everything turning black was that it mentioned I was no longer useful in Amestris, but could be used somewhere else. Once everything went black, the next thing I knew, I woke up here." He said, with a sigh escaping his lips. "It was Truth's intention to send us here the moment we got caught in the array," The Flame Alchemist concluded, "There is no way for us to return to Amestris, we're stuck here."

With that, the bobcat fell silent for a moment, so Riza could take it all in.
