[HE'LL FIGHT THEM.] I'm sorry... you're safe here. [Right?]

[thebloodseal]

Yeah, so far I have been. It's kinda nice.

[iwatobi]

Can you swim? [Asking the important questions.]

[thebloodseal]

Not in this body, no... it's too heavy.

[iwatobi]

[Haru looks absolutely DEVASTATED.] Can you be in water at all?

[thebloodseal]

It's probably not a good idea, no.

[iwatobi]

I'm sorry... [That's so tragic...] There has to be a way...

[thebloodseal]

There is- Brother and I are working on a way for me to get my real body back. I believe in him completely.

[iwatobi]

[Blink blink.] That's possible?

[thebloodseal]

Yes... do you know what alchemy is?

[iwatobi]

[Blank stare.] No.

[thebloodseal]

Back home, alchemy is a science. It involves deconstructing and reconstructing matter into new forms, more or less... but if you try something far beyond your level, it can backfire. That's what happened when I was younger. My body disappeared, but Brother saved my soul and bound it to this armor.

[iwatobi]

I'm sorry. [He puts a hand on the cool metal, saddened by the explanation. To a normal person, it's probably a very unbelievable story. But Haruka puts faith in it. He trusts this person.] It must have been unpleasant.
