Roy had believed he had been alone out here, the bobcat hadn't noticed his close friend trailing behind him when he left the observatory. It probably looked like Roy noticed his friend approaching him, when the bobcat spoke up, addressing Hughes. But that wasn't the case, no. Roy had intended to say that to himself, he didn't want Hughes to know the truth, not yet. It was too soon to their conversation a few nights ago, and he wanted his friend to relax and not worry about him. But suddenly, Roy's ears pricked up at a breathless voice that he automatically recognizes as Hughes. "You can't be... How...how?!" He heard the voice say, with an almost defeated tone in there as well. The male's eyes widened and quickly whirled around, to face Hughes, who looked like he was in shock and denial. "Hughes! I wasn't aware you were standing there," He said with a similar defeated tone, ears flattening to his skull again. Roy wasn't joking around about this, he wouldn't make a comment like that if he hadn't been serious.
But now that Hughes overheard him, and was demanding answers, Roy knew he couldn't keep the truth away from him. He has to tell Hughes what happened, especially if Hughes thinks he had a similar fate. Roy wasn't killed the way Hughes was, he wasn't murdered by the homunculi for finding information. He managed to get himself killed while investigating a human transmutation circle Fullmetal found, and he hadn't known it was activated. It had been too late for him when he stepped on it. "I was involved in an investigation regarding a human transmutation circle with Fullmetal, Hawkeye, and Alphonse. I went closer to investigate, but I didn't notice it's activation..." He began to explain slowly, trying to put his words together in his head. "Fullmetal tried to warn me.. But by the time I heard him, I stepped onto the circle and it was too late."
"My body was used as a toll for the transmutation, even if I didn't intend for it to happen. Riza got caught in it too, I'm assuming she was trying to grab me, she probably had a similar fate.." And now he has no idea where Riza wandered off to. He still doesn't understand why she didn't stay here with him when they reunited. He felt guilty for the lioness disappearing from his grasp, and that he's just sitting here in the Ascendants while she might be somewhere else. He hoped she was okay, and that he'll see her again one day.
"I'm sorry Hughes, for everything that I had worked towards- I just wasted it all and made it all go down the drain," He finished up as his body shook again at the thought, not daring to look at Hughes eyes. He felt like he needed to apologize- Hughes gave Roy his complete support for years. And even here, Hughes seemed determined to get Roy home to achieve his goal as becoming Fuhrer. But now it's useless, he can never achieve his goal while being stuck here, forever. This almost feels like a punishment from Truth, it took everything Roy had been aiming for years due to him accidentally committing the taboo. Even if it was an accident, he had to pay for his mistake, and this was certainly a way to make him regret his foolish actions that day.
