Al frowns, ever so slightly. Part of him wants to defend their father on some level, but...he can't deny what Hohenheim did to Envy. No matter how the man may have changed, it doesn't erase what happened in the past. It would be a lie and an insult, and Envy deserves better. Deserved better.

When Al is really honest with himself, he admits they all did.

He's...not entirely sure what to say in response. There are a lot of words floating around in his head, but...they're not his place to say. And Heather, in many ways, is right. If Envy'd had any form of real support back then, he wouldn't have turned out this way. He could have been...someone different, someone that wasn't shaped by hatred and jealousy and poisoned words whispered into his ear. Who that person would have been, if he could have been...maybe an actual brother to him and Edward...it's impossible to say.

He nods...and sighs.

"...yeah."
