You're walking through the castle corridors, looking for something to occupy your time. You pass Elric's chambers, the door is cracked slightly... You can hear what seems to be soft sobs.

When you push the door open, Elric flinches and wipes his tears, but he doesn't pretend to be okay. He's sitting on the floor with his back to the wall... he seems to be pretty panicked judging by his erratic breathing...
