I'm sorry. I did what I thought was best for Amestris at the time, but sitting here now and thinking about it... I'm not sure I can justify it in front of you all. I don't know if I can get away with this. I don't think I will. That's why I'm writing these letters.

I don't want you to die. I don't really want anyone here to die, but especially not you. You're stronger than you give yourself credit for. You'll get through this, just like you've gotten through everything else. I'm sure of it. But it's probably going to be tough for awhile, and it's okay to be really damn pissed off at me. You should be. I stabbed you all in the back (and Aymeric in the front) for a chance to get out of here. My reasons shouldn't have anything to do with that.

Thanks for everything, Inigo. You were a really good friend. I'm sorry things ended like this.
