[♠] The message started with him crying... obviously something was wrong, but the severity of the situation wasn't clear until;
“Randall I'm so sorry... Randall I'm... I'm so... s-so sorry...”
[♠] This was followed by a small fit of coughing, hoarse and dry;
"Y-you were right... you were right all along... I should... hnn, should have told ma, sh-should have told pa... but it's, it's... I'm... I'm so sorry, but it's too late for me. Please... I hope you get this, please, please get this... pick up, Randall... please..."
[♠] The others unsteady, desperate breathing was picking up loudly over the phone, obviously something was more than a little wrong;
"He found me... Alphonse did... and... and I think most of my bones are broken... I'm in so much pain, Randall... so much pain... no gentleman should experience p-pain like this. I'm sorry Randall... you were right about everything... absolutely everything. I'm so stupid, please, please forgive me... even when I'm gone."
[♠] The crying had turned to flat out sobs for a minute, and the phone hit the ground, and a thud was heard beside it. His voice had grown quiet, yet closer to the phone;
"I'm a goner... I'm sorry, a-after the plans we made for the future... and everything we had set up... we were going to tell our parents, remember? About us... because we should never be ashamed of our love... if you want to keep it a secret though, I don't blame you... no need for you to suffer if I'm already gone. Just, know that... that in life or in death I still love you just the same..."
"I'm just, so sorry... I love you, Randall Ascot..."
