Holy crap, it's so easy a Weedle can do it. It's not Magikarp-tier simplicity, but that's just because nothing is Magikarp-tier simplicity.

Have at and enjoy!

clearly they have the best opinion of each other

JUST THE VERY BEST this is going to be so long

Envy hates Al's guts. And he thinks that it's perfectly justified (even though NO IT'S NOT AT ALL). Envy already hated Al just for being born; to him, Ed and Al are the perfect human sons that Hohenheim replaced him with and loves. They have everything he wanted: a happy childhood, parents that loved them (even though Hoho left, Envy doesn't count it as the same thing), natural genius at alchemy, friends, and a chance. And this is something he is still bitterly jealous about, but in Route it's actually much less so because now he has his own friends and surrogate family and happiness. There's also the fact that they performed human transmutation, which sets off Envy's hate buttons something fierce. He doesn't think they deserve to get their bodies back period, because they should suffer for what they did. And when Al told him that Hohenheim is going to kill him so that the three of them presumably go home and live happy lives as a family...yeah. That's what Envy would consider Worst Possible End, and it rattled him badly.

AND SPEAKING OF SLOTH. Envy has a problem with selective memory, especially when it confirms biases he already had. So even though Al handled the Sloth situation like a champ, Envy only remembers all the things Ed was shouting about her being their mistake to fix and not a real person and etc and he's putting that on Al too. And Sloth was one of the few homunculi that Envy did get along halfway decently with, and the two of them had similar thoughts on not wanting to be the humans they once were. He's not broken up about her dying, they weren't close, but it's a sore point for him that she did and how she did.

WHICH FINALLY BRINGS US TO ROUTE. Envy is much more stable here and he has things he didn't have in canon, and it's a lot harder for him to hate Al with as much nonstop vitriol and want to murder him five times immediately. Somewhere in there, he managed to realize that Al isn't the person to fly across the country to attack, which is why he called Heather to help him not do that. Putting Al right in front of his face is a different story. It still rankles that Al is here at all, because this is Envy's happy place and how dare Al show up here and bring all this back up when he was starting to forget about it, rararara etc. This is something that hasn't happened when the manga versions of the brothers have shown up, because they have a different story and he doesn't have near the same reaction to them. And it bothers him that apparently Lust is friendly enough with Al to go through the haunted house with him, but he's willfully not realizing/in denial over the extent of the friendliness.

I THINK...THAT'S IT FOR NOW...
