Posting this here too because it actually kills me but everytime arakawa draws alphonse doing this my heart breaks 5 million times over. it's just a really nice detail showing his age through body language and I really love it. It's also interesting in my opinion because he can't feel the cloth but he does it anyways because I'm assuming it was a nervous tic of his. Which makes me think more about how his whole situation works in terms of like proprioception and things that carried over from his human body like this nervous tic of his.
