How should I put it? If Al was here, he'd tell me I don't have enough limbs left to lose.

That's why I was hoping this would work instead. If a homunculus is what an alchemist's sin pulls out of the Gate, it makes sense that you'd go the other way by sending it back. But you just had to screw that up, didn't you?

[He doesn't sound angry right now, though. Indistinct, mostly.]
