Summary Lan Fan and Mai Chang attack each other at Dr. Knox's

They stared at each other across the room. The reaction was simultaneous. The grudges and hatreds which had been inculcated into them since birth kicked in. They attacked.

They attacked not out of any personal hatred of each other. It was enough that the other was from another clan. Survival required that every heir and every other clan be eliminated.

They had come to Amestris hoping to bring back the philosopher's stone not because they desired eternal life, but because it was the key to clan victory. Anyone who stood in their way whether friend or foe must be eliminated.
