[Dead parents + alchemy is the worst combination.]

Without knowing how long we'll be here and with no other resources to leave behind, I'd probably be teaching them just enough to be dangerous to themselves. Alchemy's useful, but it's really powerful too.

The best teachers don't just teach alchemy by the book. It's more about how alchemy fits into the world as a whole, and how important it is to respect that. And even then...

[Well. A great teacher didn't stop him from ending up this way. He shakes his head, abandoning the thought.]

I don't know. Maybe there's no perfect way to do it.
