Ed: "..........................Zzzz......wha

"No.....Zzzzz......Zzzzz......no....cow.

Ed's sick. Al tries to wake him up and discovers he has a fever and is coughing. He wants to call the doctor, but Ed says it's nothing, and that it was probably the blankets and summer that made him feel hot.



Ed acts enthusiastic during breakfast, but ends up coughing, worrying Al even more.

"Why....why do you have to force yourself!"



"Al...."
"I'm going to the Headquarters right now! You must stay at home and rest!!!"
"Al...there's no need..."
"Brother..."
"Making you worry like this...it's my fault...but I'm really....I'm really fine...there's still a lot of work waiting for me....Al.....you wouldn't want your brother to be an irresponsible person, right...."
"Brother..."

As they leave the house, Edward is surprised that Al is following him.



"I'm going to see you off to work!"
"See me off....Al, you really like to worry....I already said I'm fine...."
"If you won't let me, then I won't let you go to work!"
"Al..."
"Brother, it's your decision!"
"I understand.....then let's go...."
"Yes!"


As they walk to work, Al mentions they haven't done this in a long time already.



Upon seeing Ed's sad face, Al quickly says, "It's....it's not that I'm lonely or anything....I'm just..."
"I understand..."
"Brother..."
"If you're free this weekend, then let's go out together!"
"Brother....you.....at least get better first!"
"I'll definitely get better soon..."
"Yes....you definitely will..."




At the gate of the Headquarters, they meet Hawkeye, who asks Al why he's there.

"Miss Hawkeye....my brother....he...."
Edward interrupts. "It's just an ordinary flu....*cough* *cough*...."

"It looks serious, however..." Hawkeye observes.
"I told Brother to stay home and rest, but he said there are some important matters he needs to take care of, that's why...."
"I understand, Alphonse. Don't worry, I'll watch over your brother and make sure he takes care of himself!"
"Thank you, Miss Hawkeye!"



Edward's pouting. "I already said you didn't need to worry...."
"Brother, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself! Goodbye, Miss Hawkeye!"

"Al really loves to worry...."
"You don't want to worry your brother, which is why you're forcing yourself..."
"I....that's not true...."
"Nonetheless, I've promised Alphonse, so I will watch over you!"



"Huh......no way....."
"Alright. Firstly - go to the break room! Colonel, please be good!"
"I....I understand..."





When Ed passes by the front desk, the receptionist asks whether he's alright and tells him not to force himself.


As Ed enters the Fuhrer's room to perform his daily tea-pouring duties, Roy says, "Oh? It seems our Secretary is not very energetic today..."

"It's....it's none of your business....uhhh...." *almost trips over*



"Be careful!"

"I'm alright...no need to hold me up...."
"Oh, I was afraid you'd break the china."
"....thank you for reminding me!"


The Fuhrer adds in to the conversation and says, "Colonel Elric, if you aren't feeling well, perhaps you should go home and rest. There is no need to force yourself."
"I'm alright....please drink the tea...."


Doesn't matter who you pour the tea to, but I made Ed pour to Roy this time because I wanted to vary it.

This time, Roy remarks that the tea is cold. Ed says that can't be, and Roy tells him to come over.

Ed: "..........!!!!!!!!!!!! What.....what are you doing....suddenly putting your hand...."

Roy: "So you are having a fever! Why aren't you at home resting?!"



"I...I know my own body...."

King Bradley: "General Mustang is right. Since you're not feeling too well, you should go home and rest."

"But....the work here..."

"I will find someone to help me! Now go!"
"I understand...."

Roy: "That's a good boy!"
Ed: "........"





Free time. If Ed goes to the front desk, he'll talk to Farman about Hawkeye:

Ed: "....but Lieutenant Hawkeye is very able!"
Farman: "Indeed! Her ability is something not many people can measure up to!"

"But she doesn't seem to be that busy~"
"The Lieutenant organizes her time and work schedules, that's why she is able to work effectively~"
"But even though that's the case....with a lazy superior like Mustang, it must be really tough on Lieutenant Hawkeye!"



"However, the Lieutenant is always able to find a way to make the General finish his work!"
"Perhaps this is the Lieutenant's greatest quality...."


Free time. If Ed goes to the front desk again, he'll just have a short conversation with the Secretary (the same one as yesterday, about needing to eat lunch in order to grow).


Lunch time. It automatically shifts to a conversation with Breda, who is very happy because lunch was very fulfilling. Ed agrees. Breda suggests they have a round of chess because it trains the mind and improves a strategic way of thinking. He then asks Ed what he and Al do in their spare time.

"What we do in our spare time......"
"Yeah! Such young and energetic kids....how can you both not have a hobby?"
"Perhaps it's because we were travelling all this time...so there wasn't time to have a hobby...."
"Then what about now? The both of you are settled down, and Alphonse has gotten his body back....there should be some time at least...."




"However...."
"It should be something free and easy, something you feel happy about...."
"If that's the case, then recently, Al's been cleaning the house and cooking...."
"Is that really a normal boy's hobby...."
"Umm....I guess so...."





When Breda finishes his lunch, he'll leave. Before he does, he'll tell Edward to take care of himself and to drink more water.



Free time. If Ed goes to the front gate, he'll tell himself, "........even if I come here, I won't be able to go home right now...."



If Ed goes to the break room, he'll find no one there and he'll decide to rest for a while before going back to work again.




It's the end of the day. King Bradley asks Ed if he's feeling alright and Ed replies he feels a lot better. King Bradley asks if Ed can work overtime. I chose not to.

"Oh, that's alright...if you don't feel well you should go home early to rest!"
"Then I'll pack my things and leave!"



As Ed leaves the Headquarters, he bumps into a mysterious person.



Ed gets angry. "You!!! Look where you're going!!!"

".........."
"Huh.....that person.....looks familiar...."


Hawkeye appears. "Colonel Elric, aren't you leaving yet?"
"Lieutenant Hawkeye! And.....that guy...." T____T
Roy: "Fullmetal....is that how you treat your superior officer?"
Ed: "Heh...hey, what are all those people doing there?"



Hawkeye: "That murderer is becoming more aggressive..."
Ed: "Another murder...."
Roy: "All the victims are blonds. Perhaps the murder has a particular liking to this~ Fullmetal, I do suggest you pay more attention to your personal safety~"
Ed: "Thank you for the tip!! If he runs into me, he's in bad luck! I think you should be more concerned ofr your own safety....or else you'd need Lieutenant Hawkeye to.....oh! It's getting late.....well, I won't disturb your work any longer. Goodbye!"
Hawkeye: "Goodbye!"
Roy: "........"




When Ed gets home, he discovers Al isn't at home. At first, Ed thinks Al must have gone to throw out the trash, but after 30 minutes, Al's still not home. Ed is worried he might have run into the murderer, but then laughs it off, saying Al would definitely be safe because he had Ed as his sparring partner....but he still has doubts.

After an hour, Al comes home. Ed enthusiastically greets him, but Al seems tired.

"Al....you!!!"
"What is it, Brother?"
"The blood on you....what's this all about? Are you hurt?"
"No....I just slipped and hurt myself~ Brother, there's no need to worry..."



"Is....is that so....."
"Ah yes, Brother you must be hungry. I'll go make dinner now~ I'll make your favourite dishes~"
"Al....is there really nothing you're hiding from me?"
"It's nothing...Brother....you've been quite paranoid recently..."
"Is...is that so...."
"Alright, if you want to have dinner earlier, then you'll have to help me!"
"Ah! Sure!"





"Al....what is all this....it looks strange....is it okay to eat it...."
"These recipes are from the neighbours....to cure your flu....even though it looks strange, it's very effective! Brother, you need to eat everything!"
"Al....thank you...but....I can't eat it all....it's too much...."
"Umm....then eat what you can....Brother, you really need to get better as soon as you can...."
"Yes! I'll start now...."



Ed starts eating. "Mmm.....it's really good~"



Ed can go anywhere he wants. If he goes to the front door, he'll see Al there.

"Brother....can you take a walk with me?"
"Alright."



"What a beautiful sky~~~~ It's been a long time since I've seen the sky like this~~~"
"Yeah....when we used to travel and sleep in the open, we used to see this too...."
"Brother - look! A shooting star! Make a wish quickly!"
"Al, what did you wish for?"
"Of course it's for your body to be restored!!! What about you? What's your wish?"
"..........my wish has already been fulfilled...."
"Brother....."



Afterwards, Ed just goes to sleep.

"Mmm....so comfortable~~~"



"Hmm? It seems my flu is gone now! Is it because of Al's cooking?"

"Brother, how are you feeling today?"
"I'm all better~~~"
"That's great~~~ Then, Brother, you should get up and eat breakfast!"
"But....can't you treat a sick person a bit better and let me sleep a little while more?"
"Brother....didn't you just say you're all better...? Anyway, I've prepared breakfast already. Get up! get up~~~"
"I understand...."




At breakfast....


"Ahh! There's a lot for breakfast today~~ What's the cause for celebration?"
"It's not, Brother! This is also a formula for your flu. Because there are certain foods that can't be digested properly if you eat them in the evening, that's why I cooked them this morning."



"Al.....thank you."
"Brother, why are you so formal? If you want to thank me, then finish this!!!"
"ALL of it?!! Al...aren't you afraid I might get a stomache?"
"This....well.....heh heh....."




".....finally finished.....Al...I might recover from this flu, but get a bad stomache afterwards!"
"....of course not! Brother, you're really exagerrating. Don't you stress yourself out everyday at work? Eating a bit more doesn't matter."
"But....my buttons are about to burst.."
"But that's because you put them in the wrong way...."
"R-really....."
"And look at you....your collar's not even done properly. Come over here, I'll help you..."



"Don't treat me like a kid~~~"
"Brother, don't move around so much...uughh...."



"Al! Are you okay?"
"I....I'm fine! Brother, it's getting late! you should go quickly!"
"Are you really alright?"
"I'm fine..."
"....then I'm going now! If you don't feel well, then take a rest!"
"I understand, Brother..."



When Ed goes to work, he sees Hawkeye and asks why she looks so pale. Hawkeye tells him to go to the General's office to discuss the murder investigation. In the General's office, Roy is there waiting for him.


"You've come at the right moment, Fullmetal. This murder incident has caused a lot of trouble already, and I'm not in charge of this investigation....I hope you'll be able to help me with this."

“Oh? You actually need my help? That’s new.”




Hawkeye hands him a file. Ed is shocked. “How can this be…..”
“That’s why I said I needed your help.”
“How can Al be the murderer?! You must have gotten it wrong!”
“Fullmetal! Calm down! We never said Alphonse was the murderer. He’s just a suspect…..that’s why we need your help.”
“Even if he’s just a suspect, I won’t accept it! How can you link him with that?! This….this is ridiculous! Do you…..do you have evidence?!”



“At the present we have no direct evidence…..but there are witnesses who claim to have seen a suspicious person….and this suspect’s physical appearance was deduced from the eye witness reports…”
“No that’s impossible! That’s ridiculous! No matter what you say, there’s no way Al could’ve done……..!!!!!!”
“…..what is it? Did you just think of anything suspicious that Alphonse did recently?”
“Of course not…..”
“……..”
“I went home one night…..”
Hawkeye: “Night?”
“…………”




“No…..nothing. I will join this investigation, but please allow me to be the one to catch the murderer!”
“Why?”
“Please!”
“…..alright, I’ll let you do that…..but you are not allowed to do anything dangerous….or else I’ll immediately revoke your right to this investigation.”
“…..yes, I know.”
“Then, Lieutenant Hawkeye, please make the preparations on Fullmetal, and we will commence action tonight.”
“Yes, I know.”
“….huh? What preparations?”
“It’s the most important part of the mission. You must comply with this.”



Afterwards, Ed goes to pour tea. ".............ARRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Why do I have to do such a stupid thing!"



Before Ed goes into the Fuhrer's office, he overhears a conversation between the Fuhrer and Roy:

King Bradley: ".....so you are admitting you are an aggressive person?"
Roy: "If I were not aggressive, then I would not be in this position, correct?"
Ed: "...huh? What are they talking about...."
King Bradley: "Then you wish to be the youngest Fuhrer in history?"
Roy: "Just because I wish to does not mean it can be done just like that...the question is whether you will let me to be in that position..."
King Bradley: "You really are a talented person."
Roy: "Haha....thank you for your praise."
Ed: "This kind of conversation....is really...."



King Bradley: "Colonel Elric, are you outside?"
Ed: "Yes! I'm here..."

Ed goes in. Roy teases him:

"Oh, you were eavesdropping? I didn't know our Secretary had this sort of habit..."
"What are yout talking about! I was just...."
King Bradley interrupts. "That's alright. It wasn't an important conversation...however, the tea will become cold if you don't pour it soon..."
"Yes....I understand!"




He makes fun of Ed’s tea brewing skills, remarking that he must have put in salt instead of sugar. Ed tells him he doesn’t have to drink it, but Roy replies, “Oh, but it’s the ‘product’ of your efforts…” to which Ed thinks to himself, “…..next time I’ll add something new for you!”



Free time. If Ed goes to the front desk, he'll talk to Fury about Hawkeye:

"Lieutenant Hawkeye likes animals, right?"
"Yes! Even though she looks stern on the outside, she's actually a very nice person."
"Speaking of which, she was the one who eventually adopted Black Hayate..."
"Yes! And now, Black Hayate's grown into such a big dog~~~"
"....but, I've heard Lieutenant Hawkeye treats him in a stern way."
"Umm....heh....yeah...."
"I wonder what methods she uses? I don't think she'd use her gun, right...."
".................yes, she does....."
"........WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!! But....but that's dangerous......."



"I guess.....the Lieutenant....knows what she's doing...."
"Or perhaps Black Hayate is already used to it..."
"Per...perhaps...."




Free time. If Ed goes to Roy's office, it'll be empty. Ed tells himself he'll come back later.


Lunch time. Scene shifts to the break room. Edward sees Farman and Fury there. He has a choice to eat lunch with either one of them. It doesn't matter who Ed has lunch with, but I chose Farman. Ed remarks how Farman's so hardworking, reading even during lunchtime.

"Oh...I'm sorry....am I disturbing you?"
"Of course not....I'm just saying how hardworking you are!"
"Because science is everywhere! And knowledge is infinite!"
"That's right!"



"Speaking of which, is it true that you use alchemy to solve your everyday problems?"
"Well, I really want to do that, but Al's always saying how alchemy can't solve everything...."
"Alphonse is right~"
"I know that...actually, our teacher said exactly the same thing! But perhaps it's because humans are proud creatures...."
"Colonel...."
"Ahhh!!! Really! Why are we speaking such depressive things over lunch! Alright! Let's not talk about it! Let's quickly finish our lunch and get back to work~~~"
"I understand..."



Free time. If Ed goes to the resources room, he won't find anyone there. He'll be happy that he can find certain information [what exactly we don't know] because he can't get it anywhere else. He's a bit bothered by the files; he thinks there's so many, he won't be able to finish it in years. "Haha....but who's going to spend all *that* time doing that anyway........sigh....it seems there's only one person who'd do that....." -___-




Free time. If Ed goes to the garden, he won't find anyone there either. He says everytime he comes here he just wants to sleep, and then he tells himself he shouldn't be so lazy and should get back to work.



It's the end of the day. Ed remembers Roy wants him to make preparations for the murder investigation, and wonders what those 'preparations' are. "Sigh.......it probably isn't anything good....."


*scene shifts to Roy's office*

"....YOU?!!!!!!! WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?!!!!!!!"
"You really are suited to this dress-up, Fullmetal~"



"THIS IS WHAT YOU MEAN BY 'PREPARATIONS'?!!!"
"To lure a snake out by giving him what he wants - this is a good strategy! Don't you think you look very alluring? You'll definitely lure out the murderer that way~ Don’t you want to find out who the murderer is?”



“%^&$%^$#(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WON’T LET YOU FORGET THIS!!!!!!!!!”
“Fullmetal dressed up like this…..it's indeed quite difficult to forget~”
“YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!!!! %*&%&%#^#@)”
Hawkeye comes in and asks, “Is there something wrong?”
Ed's voice is heard from a distance. “ARGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Roy: “He’s probably surrounded right now. I should have told him to change out of those clothes before going out like that….”
Hawkeye: “This month’s repairing fees will be deducted from your salary.”
Roy: “%&(^&##%$#^”




At the end of the day, the Fuhrer asks Ed to work overtime. I chose to work overtime.



Ed realizes it's late and Al's probably waiting for him. He decides to leave. Just as he does so, he notices a family portrait of the Fuhrer and his family. "Oh, is this his son? I remember his name is Samuel....he looks so happy...a family....like this....speaking of which, it's been a long time since I've taken a picture with Al....I should.....find some time to.....take a family portrait with him....Alright! Alright! It's time to leave~"



When Ed returns home, Al's there cooking dinner. Al observes Ed's sweating a lot and asks if something's wrong. Ed asks if Al's hiding something from him.

"No...I'm not....why would I be, Brother?"
"Al....if you feel unwell, you must tell me....I don't want....something bad to happen...."
"I know, Brother...quickly wash your hands! Dinner will be served shortly!"
"Yes!"





If Ed goes to the bathroom, he'll end up sleeping there. ^___^

"It's....dark already? .....How come I fell asleep here?!!!! If I don't go to bed, Al will lecture me! Oh well.....I should take a bath first.....Ahhhhh~~ How come this is so difficult to take off~~~"

And then, Ed sees:



Al: “………”
Ed: “………”
Al: “………”
Ed: “………”
Al: “………”
Ed: “………”
Al: “……Brother….?”
Ed: “!!!!!!!”
Al: “….Brother…..you don’t have your shirt on……don’t you feel cold…?”
Ed: “……..!!!!!!!!! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry, Al! I had no idea you were in here! I’ll go out now!” [*koffs* yeah right, like you didn’t hear the water running or something?]
Al: “Eh? Wait, Brother!”

Ed’s blushing. “I……why am I blushing……”




Free time. If Ed goes to the garden, he'll find a pair of gloves. He suspects something. At this point, Alphonse appears and asks what's the matter. "Oh, so it's here!"

"Huh?"
"The gloves! I've been finding them for ages! I didn't know they'd be here."
"....these gloves are yours?"
"Yup, they are! When I'm weeding I use them, or else I'd cut my fingers."
"Oh....so that's the case! And I thought......hahaha....."



"What?"
"Nothing, nothing....let's go back into the house....heheheheh..."
"??????"

Ed wakes up and is surprised at why the house is so quiet. He assumes Al hasn't woken up yet, but when he goes to the living room, he finds Al unconscious on the floor. Ed is worried. He wants to stay home and take care fo Al even though he's not having a fever or such. But Al insists Ed goes to work.




At the gate of the headquarters, he meets Roy, who teases him for being in such a foul mood. "Is it because you haven't had your breakfast yet? Want me to treat you?"

"It's true I didn't have breakfast...but I have no interest in letting you treat me to eat anything!"

Hawkeye appears. "General...do you really have nothing else to do?"
".........."

Hawkeye asks Ed, "Colonel Elric, what happened? Can you tell me? Perhaps I may be able to help!"

"Lieutenant Hawkeye....it's because of Al....there's really something wrong with his body.....this morning he fainted...."




"He fainted?! Then how is he now?"
"He looks alright now...but....I'm very worried....there's something wrong with his body, yet he didn't tell me....as a brother....I...."
"Alphonse just didn't want to make you worried."
"But...."
"All you need to do is show your worry naturally, and that will be fine. Alphonse is a considerate younger brother....he'll understand what you're thinking."
"Yes, I understand...thank you, Lieutenant Hawkeye!"

Roy butts in. "Then you should go home early after work today. It's not everyday you can do something for your little brother~~"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!!! YOU BASTARD......EXPLAIN THAT!!!!"
"By its literal meaning, of course~~~"
Hawkeye: "General...."





Tea pouring time. I poured for King Bradley, who says “Tomorrow’s a holiday….what a pity I can’t drink your tea tomorrow.”

Roy says, “What a blessing I don’t need to suffer through this tomorrow!”
“Well you don’t have to drink it if you don’t want to!”
“Ah….that depends on my mood~”
“To tell the truth, I rather enjoy drinking your tea.”
“……eh?”
“To watch you slowly “grow”…..that is a rather pleasurable pastime.”
“Fuhrer….”
“If he would grow in other areas that would be a good thing too~” Roy chuckles.
“None of your business!!!”



Free time. If Ed goes to the front desk, he'll talk to Breda about Hawkeye.

"....Lieutenant Hawkeye is really awesome!"
"Well of course! She an expert in rifles."
"An expert in rifles?!"
"You know what her codename used to be in the military?"
"Codename?!"
"Her code name was - 'Hawkeye'!" [note: this refers to the animal, not her name.]
"Hawkeye?!"



"That's right! And at that time, there was the rumor that as long as there was 'Hawkeye', then everyone could move forward!"
"That's really awesome~"
"And also, no matter what distance she was shooting from, she'd be very accurate! A bullseye!"
"Heh....no wonder Mustang is so afraid of her...."



Free time. I made Ed go to Roy's office, but he wasn't there. Probably went out for lunch or something. T____T

Lunch time. So Roy is having his lunch in the break room.

"What? Does it make you so uncomfortable to have lunch with me?"
"How would it be...to be able to have lunch with the future Fuhrer.....that should be an honour...." *sarcasm*
“Hm…but how come I don’t get that feeling from daily interaction with you?”
“Well that’s your problem…….but speaking of which, I’ve always wondered what your plans are after you become Fuhrer!”
“This….you really want to know?”



“If you don’t talk about it, that’s fine with me too!”
“My wish is fairly simple….”
“Simple…?”
“Of course, my wish is---” Roy draws a breath. “….to make all the women in this country happy ~”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”



“Hey! Don’t have that expression on just because you’re not female~”
“Who would sulk over THAT kind of reason?!!!!!! You think all the women in this country will be happy just by wearing miniskirts? Is your brain is really flooded with water or what?”
“…..then you tell me what you think would make a woman happy.”
“I……I’m not a woman….”
“Even if you aren’t, you’d have some idea at the very least.”
“Ugh….a woman’s happiness….of course it’s to have a happy family….healthy parents…..a husband who stays by her side…..and cute kids…..hey wait, why do I have to answer that question?!”



“Even though you’re not a woman, you really do understand what a woman wants.”
“So you’re just playing with me?! I’m leaving now! Psshh~”
“Aren’t you going to eat your lunch?”
“NO!!!” *goes off*
“A woman’s happiness…can I really do that….”



Free time. If Ed goes to the corridor, he'll be complaining at why he's always delivering documents.

"But whatever. I'll quickly deliver these documents....I shouldn't make people wait too long..."


Free time. If Ed goes to the break room, he'll find no one there and will decide to rest for a while before going back to work.


At the end of the day, I made Ed work overtime. While working, he feels tired.

"....Should.....we wake....him....."
"No....let him sleep a bit more...."


Ed: "Mom......Al....."

"............"
"Never mind......alright.....let him sleep...."

Ed: "Mmmm.....huh....? Where....this is....I.....I fell asleep.....this jacket.....it's...."



King Bradley: "Did you sleep well?"
Ed: "Fuhrer!!! I..."
King Bradley: "Has there been too much work lately? Can your body handle it?"
Ed: "I....I'm okay with it! I'm just...."
King Bradley: "I think that's all for today! You should go home and get some rest! Don't let your brother worry about you."
Ed: "Fu...I understand! Thank you!"





When Ed gets home, he tells Al to stay where he is. He's going to cook dinner! Al finds it surprising, since before, whenever Ed had to cook dinner he'd just run off.



"Well I feel like it today, okay? I don't like it that you're the one cooking everyday, okay? Why....why do you have to ask so much...."
"Thank you, Brother!"
"Why are you thanking me....that's so out of the blue!"
"Let's do it together, alright?"
"I can do it! Al, you should go and rest!"
"I just want to cook with you...can't Brother grant me this one wish?" [Al...you manipulative person, you! XD]
"Really...alright! Let's do it together then!"
"Yup!"


Afterwards, Ed can go wherever he wants. If he goes to the garden, he'll see Al there.

"Al....what are you doing here?"
"Look, Brother! There's firefly grass [alternative translation: hotarugusa] in our garden~~~"
"Firefly grass? What's that?"
"It's a plant that has blue flowers!"



"Firefly grass only blooms during the night, and its petals will glow like the wings of fireflies. A legend has it that if you hold it to your chest and pray while it’s in bloom, then the person you’re thinking of will be able to feel it, no matter how far away he is….”

“Al….you actually believe in that kind of thing….”

“Brother….even if we don’t have this flower……if we were separated….you’d still be able to feel my thoughts, right….”

Ed smiles and answers, “……yes…..of course I will…..”

Then, he can go anywhere he wants again. If he chooses to go to the front door, Al will be there. He asks Ed to take a walk with him.

“The night sky is so beautiful~ It’s been a long time since I’ve looked at the sky~ look! A shooting star! Make a wish now!”
“Al, what kind of wish did you make?”
“Of course I wished for your recovery! What about you?” [referring to Ed getting his limbs back]
“…………….my wish has already been granted.”
“Brother….”



Free time again. If Ed goes back to the garden, Al's still there.



"Hey Al! What are you doing?"
"Ah, Brother! I'm looking at the stars!"
"Stars?"
"Yup! Look! Those two sparkling stars, they look like mom's eyes....a really gentle feeling...."
"Is that so...Al...."
"Brother!!!"
"Hmm?"
"It's already late, you should go to bed now."
"Ah, ok, ok...."

Al leaves, and Ed is alone.



"Mom's.....eyes....?"

".................What is this......it wasn't easy getting a holiday to sleep in.......why can't I get to sleep.....AHHHHHHHH I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!! GET UP!!! GET UP!!! GET UP!!!"



"Sigh....is Al awake already? He's washing the clothes~~~ Al....huh? That's....no....it's definitely just me.....how is it possible that Al's body just turned transparent.....! Right....I should sleep a bit more...."



Ed then decides to go out. There are 3 options:

1. Call Roy
2. Ask Al out
3. Go out by himself

See [here].

When Roy and Al enter the basement, they see Envy.

Al: "Envy!"
Roy: "Homunculus?"
Al: Yes.....yes! He's a homunculus that can change into any appearance he wants!
Roy: "If that's the case, regardless of what he can change into, there's only one way to treat him..."
Envy: "The future Fuhrer is indeed different...."



Roy: "There's no need to say that yet!"
Al: "Were you the one to kidnap Brother?!"
Envy: "Kidnap? You're really naive!"
Al: "Where's Brother?!"
Envy: "You all really want to know?"
Al: "Yes..."
Roy: "You'd better say it out, or else...."
Envy: "Flame Alchemist, you cannot defeat me!"
Roy: "Why don't we try it out!"
Al: "General...."


[battle sequence]



Envy: "What is this.....you don't plane to leave?"
Al: "Where's my brother?! Why did you have to kidnap him...."
Envy: "Kidnap him? Who said we kidnapped him? Little kid, it's your precious brother who sought us out...."
Al: "He wouldn't! You liar!"
Roy: "Alphonse! Calm down! What do you mean by that...."




Envy: "What do I mean by that? Well, since you're already here, I guess it wouldn't matter if I told you.....kid, do you know how you got that body of yours?"
Al: "My......my body....."
Roy: "What do you want to say......"
Envy: "You alchemists are always talking about 'equivalent exchange', right? A tin can with a soul stuck on it becomes a real blood and flesh human being, don't you find that strange?"
Al: "Brother.....he....."
Envy: "Guessed it yet? That precious brother of yours restored your body and agreed to help us do something......"
Al: "He wouldn't! He wouldn't! Brother would definitely not work with you people....."
Envy: "Work with us? You really know how to talk......but that kid really has his own way of thinking.....destroying everything at the last minute.....so, he's useless now! There's you both left!"
Al: "What did you do to my brother.....ugghh...."
Roy: "Alphonse, are you alright?!"
Al: "My...My body...."
Envy: "Heh, so this temporary container really can't hold your soul!"
Roy: "What are you talking about?! What temporary container?!"
Envy: "Yeah, that's a temporary container! You may have forgotten.....your body was created here~~~ you know how happy your precious brother was when he saw you? He actually thought you were really restored......"
Al: "Shut up! You....uughh....."
Envy: "Awww~ look at you - your body's about to reach its limit! And I even asked father to make you like this.....who knows how much longer you can stay this way....."
Al: "Ugghh...."
Roy: "ALPHONSE!"
Envy: "It seems, we didn't really lose much....."

Lust appears.


Lust: "Envy, father's calling you!"


[battle sequence]



"General!"
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
"While they haven't recovered yet, let's go in!"
"Yup!"


Envy's monologue:

Your hair is blond, like that person's...

Can't you move? Aren't supposed to be great?
Do you know those two idiots came to see you!

What's that expression?
You haven't had enough yet?

Oh, right...
I'm here to send you to your death...


When I kicked that boy
I could really feel his ribs had cracked....

Was it done a long time ago?
I don't even recall it was my own doing....

Haha, what am I saying? Of course it's my doing!
Wasn't I happy at that time?

Pulling that boy's hair
Blond hair stiff from being drenched in blood doesn't feel too good...
Can't you look at least a little afraid?
Do you really not fear death? Bastard...
When I pulled his ear...
Why did I feel so uncomfortable?

Alright, let me tell you
That old man doesn't need you anymore!
Right, those two idiots are even more useless...
Of course we should eliminate them all!
You won't be lonely...

Damnit! What's that expression? You want to go against me?
I don't understand....why...
I don't care! Bastard....who is it?
Oh? The person you want to see has arrived...
Then, start praying....

Back in the basement. Al says, "General, there's a light over there...."
"Yes! It seems there's someone inside! That is........the Fuhrer!"
"Who's he talking to?"



King Bradley: "Father, that matter has been settled."
Hohenheim: "Very good. Ah, that boy is on the other side of the Gate?"
King Bradley: "Yes, father......do you want me to take care of that as well?"
Hohenheim: "There's no need to go...."
King Bradley: "Yes, father!"
Hohenheim: "Even though you are the youngest of the seven, I consider you to be the most reliable one of all, and the one I trust most."
King Bradley: "Thank you for your praise. However, this is perhaps due to not having you by my side all this time....due to living with those stupid humans."
Hohenheim: "Is that so....but...you seem to not have any feeling towards those stupid humans....."
King Bradley: "That is unnecessary."
Hohenheim: "Speaking of which, you are a father..."
King Bradley: "Yes! My son is Samuel, he's 12 years old."
Hohenheim: "He seems to be a rather lovable child...."
King Bradley: "....."
Hohenheim: "Have you considered his future yet? Considered what kind of world he would be living in....."
King Bradley: "What kind of world.....this world is not perfect."
Hohenheim: "And that is why I wish to change it....however, my body is no longer able to do this kind of work......"
King Bradley: "Is that why you had those two sons...."
Hohenheim: "What are you talking about...."
King Bradley: "I apologize, father, I was rude....."
Hohenheim: "No, perhaps you are right....."
King Bradley: "......"
Hohenheim: "Tell me frankly, do you think it's selfish for a parent to use his own children to do things for them......"
King Bradley: "The future is theirs......"
Hohenheim: "That is correct.....but I.....truely loved Trisha....."




Al is shocked. "Trisha...."
Roy: "Alphonse, what's the matter....."
"Trisha....that's my mother's name....."
Roy: "What?!"

Al steps forward to reunite with Hohenheim.

"Father...."
"Alphonse?"
"Father...."
Roy: "Be careful! Alphonse!"
King Bradley: "It seems a mouse has snuck in...."
Hohenheim: "Then please take care of them...."
Al: "Father....?!"
Roy: "Alphonse, run quickly!"



Envy appears. Again, Roy urges Al to run away, but Al refuses to because Roy's outnumbered. But Roy reminds him Edward is waiting for him, and that as the Flame Alchemist, he won't be defeated so easily.

Envy: "But I don't want to fight with you."
King Bradley: "You think you can stop us both? You're too naive...."
Roy: "Then, kill me first before going over there!"
Envy: "But I don't want to waste time here~~~" *disappears*
Roy: "WAIT!"
King Bradley: "Your opponent is me. Come! Let me see your persistence!"
Roy: "......"


Al's monologue:

It really hurts when I run...
I'm afraid this body won't last much longer...

It's not far - I can feel it....
The general can't take it much longer right? His body is drenched in blood....
So fighting really isn't a good thing......

Father.....he....
He really doesn't need us.....

I really didn't expect to be able to come here.....
The Fuhrer.....is actually.....

I can't let him kill Brother!
He definitely can't!
No one can!

So it's true.....
Numbness creeps up from the nerves....
Perhaps a while later I won't be able to control them?

I hope I can make it in time.....at least.....
Brother.....

General? What are you doing?
You want to stay here? You really.....

I understand! I definitely will....




Edward's monologue:

I don't know why everything was blood red when I opened my eyes.....
Has my body gone numb?
I faintly remember the feeling of cracked bones when Envy beat me up....

It doesn't hurt anymore....but I don't have any strength......
I feel like a discarded toy, lying there disheaveled......

Why aren't the nerves on the automail completely severed?
Bastard! It can't move anymore.....
But I can still feel the electrical currents from the nerves.....

Transmutation circle? Blood red?
Was it really drawn with blood? Lying in the transmutation circle?
Oh, right, it's me who lies there....

It's the first time, I have a feeling of being transmuted....
I can't smile? Perhaps if my diaphragm cramps up, I'll suffocate...

That dripping......perhaps it's blood.....
How long has it been? How long have I been left here? I don't remember......
No food! No water! Those bastards! Those inhumane....
No, I still want to laugh -
They aren't even human.....why am I talking about 'inhumane'....

What is that?

My vision is no longer blurred - this is really the place....
I can see the Gate! It's shut so tightly......
I want to get out - I haven't been home in a long time......

Al must be worried! Is his body still alright?
Al.....right.....
That idiot must be worried, right?
Bastard! Not being here when I need him.....



Al: "This body's already....Brother.....you have to make it....that's the other side of the Gate? Is it here?"



"Brother! Brother! Wake up!"
"....."
"Brother!"
"......Al....?"
"Brother! Are you hurt?"
"It's you.....it's really....ha, it's nothing.....just a scratch...."
"'Nothing'?! Brother you idiot! Why do you have to go off on your own and do things your own way?! Didn't we say we'd get our bodies back together?! You.....how could you...."
"....Ah......ha....sorry....I was too.....*cough* *cough*...."
"Brother! How are you?! Don't say anything! I'm getting you out of here! Hold on!"
"Al....I'm sorry.....I hurt you again....Does it hurt? This kind of body....Really....sorry.....*cough* *cough*...."
"Brother! Hang on! We're getting out of here right now!"
"No...."
"Brother! What are you idling around for? They're coming right here! The general's alone outside!"
"*cough*.....that way....."
"Huh? That's the exit? I hope we can avoid them...."
".........."


"Ah.....is this the correct path? It looks like we're going deeper....? Brother, hang on! I'll definitely get you out of here......even.....if I can't get out myself...."
".....Al......your.....your body....."
"Brother, are you alright?"
"I'm....I'm fine....but Al.....you.....you're sweating a lot....do you feel bad....?"
"I'm fine, Brother you have to hang on! We'll definitely get out!"
"........."


Roy's monologue:


--- It still hurts! So I am useless after all....
Leave? Why?
To let that kid laugh at my uselessness.....(?)
What do I want? I don't know....
But now, I want to....

Then come!


It seems I can't follow his movements....
I can't even react quickly enough....
Why? Why don't you just swiftly cut off my hand....
Perhaps I am not as useful as you think....


The movement of blade within the flesh feels so real....
The warm liquid that spurts out is my blood.....(?)
I don't see my own blood that often....

My clothes are all dirty, will Hawkeye be mad?
How troublesome....I don't even have the strength to stand up....
I really am useless....

Perhaps...I want to see him.....for the last time?
That's really...

Don't go! I can still fight...
You say I'm an idiot? It can't be helped...
I don't want to be looked down upon by that kid....
You'll let me see him?

Why? No, I....


When the doors of the Gate are pushed open....
Ireally don't know whether I still have the strength to step forward....

However, I must....







Al: "Huh? This place....is...? Why is there a place like this so deep underground? This looks like a dead end! Brother? This isn't the exit?!!"

"This...this isn't....the exit.....but the entrance....I...this time....*cough*....I'll....definitely restore you...."
"What entrance?! Brother! What are you saying! Getting you out of here is the most important thing right now! Those kind of things....whatever! We'll talk about it in the future! Damnit, there should be an exit somewhere! I'll definitely find it!" *goes off*




"..........Al.....I understand.....in the center....the transmutation circle....do you see....? There.....there may be a switch there...."
"Is it here? Hmm...let me see...is there really a switch here....?"
"Al....I swore.....this time.....I'll definitely restore you....."



"?!! Brother! What do you think you're doing?! Brother! Stop it!"
"Al...bear this for a little while....because the procedures.....I already know the way to perform human transmutation......even though it's that guy's method....but it can help you restore your body..."
"What are you saying! Does it really work? How about you, Brother? Will you be restored too?"
"............"



"No way! Brother! Does this method really work?! Don't continue! What about you?!"
"Al.....just think about yourself....."
"What's the point of this! What kind of "equivalent exchange" does this transmutation require for me to get back my body?!!! Answer me!!!!"




"........."
*Al gets pains again* "That....that reaction! Brother, stop! Your body’s going to be taken!”




“It’s alright…..Al, you’ll definitely get your body back! ……trust me….”
“STOP IT!!!!!!!”
“Al….what are you doing?? No!!!!” *transmutation glow fades away*
“If Brother chooses to do this….can I even stop you? I won’t let you sacrifice yourself….this transmutation…..I won’t let it be completed! You’re always going taking charge of things by yourself, I won’t forgive you! Stupid Brother!”
“Stop it! Al!”






".......I.....I'm still alive? Al? Al, are you alright?"
"Nnng......Brother....it's great.....I stopped you....I feel like......I'm as able as you....."
"Al? How are you?! I'm sorry....it seems I cannot.....do this transmutation anymore....sorry....do you feel bad...?"
"Brother....you're just the same, right? Think of a way to get out....quickly...."
"That's right! You must get to the hospital......*cough* *cough*...."
"Brother, don't push yourself.....quickly.....get out yourself.....I'm already...."
"What are you talking about?! We're getting out together! Hang on!!!"


At this point, Envy comes along.

"Ha! Don't even think about getting out of here!"
Ed: "Envy....?"
Envy: "Isn't this great? It's so suitable for those humans who love to trespass into the forbidden, don't you think so, O-chibi-san? Why aren't you more obedient? If you use that method, you'll disappear, don't you know? You should thank your little brother for that."

"Shut....shut up!"

"Brother....so you really...."
"......"
Envy: "Oh, what a touching reunion!! However...have you said your goodbyes yet? The both of you won't feel so lonely leaving together, right? Then..."


Roy appears and interrupts. "STOP IT!!!!!"



Envy mocks him. "You aren't dead yet? What an eyesore!"
King Bradley: "......."
Ed: "Colonel!"
Al: "General!"
Roy: "I said it many times already....it's 'General', Fullmetal."
Envy: "Pfft~ How did you manage to let those mice in?"
King Bradley: "You shouldn't underestimate humans who care nothing about life or death, Envy."



Envy: "Hmph~ Then let us settle this once and for all, O-chibi-san!!! Not letting you see your own beloved brother and guardian die in front of you, that's the most merciful thing! They'll be following you, so you won't be lonely~"


Roy: "STOP IT!!!!!!"
King Bradley: "......."
Al: "BROTHER!!!!!!!"
Ed: "!!!!!"



Ed: ".......Al......??!!!!!!!!"
Al: ".........."
Envy: "What? You want to die so much?"
Roy: "ALPHONSE!!!"
King Bradley: "........"
Ed: "....AL! AL! HANG ON THERE!!! YOU'LL BE OKAY!!! AL~~~~!!!!!"

Envy: "Hmph! So fragile!"
King Bradley: "Envy, end it all quickly."


Roy: "FULLMETAL! WATCH OUT!!!"
Ed: "....Al...."



Ed: ".................C-Colonel.....?"
King Bradley: "........"
Envy: ".....pfft! That is ridiculous....!"

Ed: "Colonel....? Al....? Talk to me! Why won't you talk to me! No....no it can't be true....it's not true.....IT'S NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!! Al.....Colonel....."
Envy: "........"
King Bradley: "..........."
Ed: "AAGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*transmutation light glows*


Envy: "What? What's that bright transmutation light!"
King Bradley: "It's the reaction of what's left of the Philosopher's Stone...? However...."
Envy: "THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!! How can he create such a reaction with that half-dead body of his?!!!!!!"
King Bradley: "............."



King Bradley: "Edward, you truely shock me......however, even though you do this, you will still not be able to bring them back."
Envy: "..........."
Ed: "No.....that's impossible!!! You're lying! They...make them....give them back to me....give them.....give them back to me....!!!!!!!"



Envy: ".......IDIOT!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!!"
Ed: "Come back....Al.....Roy.....please.....COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!"



Envy: "IDIOT!!! HAVE YOU GONE MAD!!!! YOU WANT TO DESTROY THIS PLACE?!!!!!! HEY! STOP!!!!"
Ed: "Come back.....everyone.....come back....."
King Bradley: "........"

[Fight sequence]



King Bradley is a bit difficult to defeat. It's kind of random - the first time I spent half an hour trying to kill him but still lost; the second time only took 3 minutes because I kept getting loads of "recovery" cards and King Bradley wasn't really attacking me that much.



Ed's monologue:



Before I was trapped in the darkness, everything was white
And before the white...everything was stained with red by the blood...

I can't breathe....can't shut my eyes or mouth...
I can feel that hot liquid on my face...

The blade flashed before my eyes....slicing through their bodies...
That's not right! It should've gone through my body...

Why...why are the both of you so expressionless?
I thought you wanted to kill me? Why did it have to be them? Answer me!

No....I must've gotten something wrong...
It's fake! It's just a dream!
Let me awaken...why won't you say anything?
Tell me....it's just a dream...

Stained with red...they're motionless...
Their eyes aren't even shut....say something...

Their eyes are still open...their blood is still warm...
Why have they become cold and stiff...not even moving...

Everything before me has turned white...
I want to scream....but can't...
Let me leave this place...leave this nightmare...
Let me be free of this...

If they are really dead...
Then please let me die as well....


King Bradley: "Is this the end?"
Edward: "..........."
King Bradley: "So the limitations on the human body are many..."
Edward: "Al....."
King Bradley: "..........."
Edward: "Colonel.....everyone...."



"Colonel Elric....can I help you?"

Edward: "..........."



"If it can be fixed by yourself, then you don't need to use alchemy."

Edward: "Fury..."



"Colonel Elric, thank you for all your help...I'm very grateful."

Edward: "Farman...."



"A guy should find an energetic way to spend his free time! How does chess sound?"

Edward: "Breda...."



"I think it's better for me to focus on work first~ But I really want a girlfriend...."

Edward: "Havoc...."



"If the both of you like it, then that's good...you must take care of your brother!"

Edward: "Hawkeye...."



"Hey, Fullmetal~ I wonder what your tea will taste like today...(?)...haha...I'm really waiting for this...."

Edward: "C-Colonel...?"

"Don't do anything dangerous...Fullmetal...oh yeah. Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Colonel' anymore...."

Edward: "Roy.....General....don't.....don't go....don't go!!!"


"Brother...."

Edward: "Al?!"



"Why is it my body's been restored.....but your body is still....."

Edward: "........."

"Brother......why....you never tell me anything...."

Edward: "No.....that's not it....Al~! AL~!!!!"

"Brother....."

Edward: "AL!!!!!! AL!!!!!! AL!!!!!!!! AL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sorry......everyone.....Roy......Al.....I'm sorry......I'm sorry......"




Hohenheim: "This alchemical reaction....is Edward's?"
Envy: "That is correct, Father. That little kid's gone crazy....that alchemical reaction has triggered off an explosion with the remains of the Philosopher's Stone...that place is already finished; there's no need to tie up any loose ends."
Hohenheim: ".....Even though it's an alchemical reaction with the Philosopher's Stone....that explosion is beyond what an ordinary human is capable of. He is indeed my son. His life should not end there.......Envy."
Envy: "Yes?"
Hohenheim: "Bring him here."
Envy: "But, Father...he's merely a feeble human. When I left he was already dead! He could't withstand the great alchemical reaction...and anyway....that place is ruined...."
Hohenheim: "It doesn't matter. Bring him over here. I will give him a new life...a perfect....immortal life...."
Envy: "......"
Hohenheim: "He can assist us in attaining our goals."
Envy: "But!!!"
Hohenheim: "Do you have anything to say, Envy?"
Envy: "No....Father.....I'll go now...."
Hohenheim: "From now on, he shall be your new brother.....previously, there was no one suitable enough to take the name of 'Pride'....now, a perfect person has finally arrived. Now go!"
Envy: "Yes!"



Envy: (to himself) "Pride? That's really stupid....That kid.....he wouldn't want to become like that...after this.....it's going to be a long time...."

Love or hate...
There needs to be something to do during this long life...


Then the credits roll out, but that's not the end of the game. Afterwards, the scene will shift to Riza in the military headquarters.



Hawkeye: "........."
Guard: "Lieutenant Hawkeye, the investigation in the main building has ended. The invesigation team say there haven't been able to find anyone!"
Hawkeye: "That'll be alright. Let the investigation team rest now."
Guard: "Ah, yes! The investigation team have returned from the Fuhrer's office."
Hawkeye: "....and the result?"
Guard: "The Fuhrer indeed did not return to his office. It seems the committee has reached a conclusion."
Hawkeye: "I understand. Thank you! You should also take a rest."
Guard: "Yes! Lieutenant Hawkeye, please take a rest as well. You've already being searching for the whole day...."
Hawkeye: "........."



Havoc: "Have they disappeared from this world like that?"
Hawkeye: "Is that what you think?"
Havoc: "Then...what really happened? Chaos within a night...even if they didn't disappear....what happened...."



Envy: "These stupid humans....they want to dig them out? Hey! Aren't they being stupid?!"



Pride: "........."
Envy: "Don't be so cold....don't you have any feelings?"
Pride: "With us.....what......is their relationship with us....."
Envy: ".......I said.........Have you really lost all your memories? O-chibi-san?"
Pride: "Fullmetal? Who......who is that....."
Envy: "....how uninteresting~ Weren't you always sensitive to the word "little"?.......Never mind. It doesn't matter either way."
Pride: "........"
Envy: ".....how ironic....is it that you're not willing to remember...."
Pride: "Then....what should we do....?"
Envy: "....You already want to go? That's right, there's nothing left here for us. Let's go."
Pride: "........."
Envy: "..........Hm? Pride? What is it?"
Pride: ".....It really is....time.....to leave....."
Envy: ".........."


Scene shifts back to Hawkeye and the military headquarters.

Hawkeye: "That's....!!!!!"
Havoc: "Lieutenant, what is it?"
Hawkeye: "Over there....it seems there are two people!"
Havoc: "Where?! I can't see anything."
Hawkeye: ".......I....saw wrong....?"


After Havoc leaves, she says to herself, "Roy.....Edward.....Alphonse....all of you......are safe right?....Where....have you all gone....?"


[After this, it's just a black screen with the words at the bottom, so I didn't bother uploading any of the respective pictures.]


Envy: "And afterwards, it was a long long time....but either way, I'd need something to do to pass the time."
Pride: "Yes."


It's really time to go...
Whether it's love...or hate...
It can be used to pass time during this long life....
Until the end of the world....

In order to gain something, one must give something of the same value.
This is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange.

At that time, we believed that to be the world's one and only truth.



The End.
