Scar doesn't outwardly react to the daze that comes over Wrath. There's a heaviness, in kids who have seen and done things they ought not to have. He's more than aware.

He takes in the details of Gluttony's mutation, Alphonse's fractured memory, the fight underground, and the boy's difficult time putting it all to words. He has never been privy to what became of Gluttony, but he can conjure a similarly horrific picture, if not an accurate one. He's seen a malformed homunculus.

It seems, on some level, that Wrath wants to spell out the details. So, Scar urges him forward. He doesn't want to suffocate him in unfamiliar reassurance, after Envy's encouragement.

"And this was where Alphonse opened the portal to the world Edward was trapped in?"

A sour note forms in his stomach. He would make the same choices all over again, without question, but those two Amestrian boys are a cyclone, their efforts to put one another back together sucking in and endangering all in their periphery, including themselves.
