Prologue
1934, December - Germany, Munich
Ugh... It's getting cold... That old man better be showing up or he'll be walking home with his bare feet!
Yes, it's getting colder with each minute passing by and all he's been doing since half an hour ago was looking up to the black, gloomy sky. Edward's been thinking about going in to his room again in the apartment and eat whatever Al had cooked up, well whatever just please without the milk... He remembered the stew Al made for yesterday's dinner, but at the same time fresh milk on the table?! He tried not to think how Al was happily gulping away the milk and even Noah was persuading him into drinking it, that's making him sick. Only the stew, yeah... stew... mom's stew...
"Oh, good evening Edward. Are you waiting for someone?"
Edward looked over to the familiar voice and found Gracia locking the door of her store while looking at him with a smile. The smile that's just as sweet as his mother...
"Oh, Mrs. Hughes. Good evening. And yes, I am waiting for someone." Replied Edward with a smile.
"By the way, tell Alicia that I said happy birthday!" Ed said, remembering that today's her daughter's 7th birthday. It's a bit too late to buy a present though he thought, I still have to say something, with or without one...
"Oh dear! You still remember? I didn't want to burden you with that, since you're busy with your work."
"My work?"
"You're working with , aren't you? It must be hard working around sets and electrical stuff."
"Yeah, it's harder for me to understand that old man more though..."
"Huh? I beg your pardon?"
"Oh, yeah! It is quite hard..."
"Anyway, here's a present for you. And be careful! It's getting dark and I think there's going to be snow coming down later."
Edward nodded and looked at both the present then Gracia with a puzzled face. Why is she giving me one? I was the one who's supposed to give one...
"Goodbye" Gracia said and walked away, shaking her head. He must have forgotten about it again. That boy... always thinks about others before himself. It's a good thing he, Alphonse and Noah helped me last time… Alicia won't be in this world without their help!
And just after Gracia is far enough that Edward can't see her in the darkness, a car approached slowly and silently...
HONK!! HONK!!
"Good evening, Edward! You shouldn't be standing outside in the dark alone. It's dangerous you know." Said a familiar voice.
Oh... he's here... Edward thought, almost jumped by the sound of the car honking.
"And it's all because of you. Look, it's starting to snow too." Edward replied and rolled his eyes to the one and only old man in the car, the one he works for, Fritz Lang.
