1 He Couldn't Cry

My big brother had clapped his hands together, putting them to the body of the Homunculus known as Sloth. Wrath, who had fused himself with Sloth at the moment, was shocked to see Sloth turn into Ethanol.

"Mommy?" whispered Wrath.

My brother looked at Wrath.

"It's no use." he said, "I started a chain reaction that's changing her entire liquid body into Ethanol."

Wrath screamed as the Ethanol that was Sloth burned him, forcing him out. He clutched the burned side of his face.

"Nicely done...sweetheart." said the embodiment of our sin.

I moved closer to my brother, and watched the evaporating sin.

"Clean up after yourselves...and take care of each other." said she, as her body gave out, bringing about her death.

I couldn't shed the tears I wanted to as the sin that was my mother evaporated right before my very eyes. As she was gone, the only set of tears was that of another sin.

I knew that nothing could be done, and yet I still wanted my mother back.
