Eari tried to open her eyes, but they wouldn't open. Where was she? She thought she had died! Maybe this is what death was like, lying forever in everlasting darkness. It wasn't pleasant. Then, there was a light, like something through a crack in a door. Eari opened her eyes. She was surrounded by white. Then there it was, the gate. Eari got to her knees. Then, the gate opened and a figure appeared. It walked out and stopped in front of Eari. Oh my god it was Alphonse. Al, Eds brother. He bent down. "Thanks for taking care of my brother," he said, voice so gentle and kind. Al had his body back, Ed would be so happy. Al got up, unsure what else to say. "I'm sorry it had to end so quickly."
"W-what?" Eari's voice was tearing up.
"This is where I leave you," Al wasn't happy about it either. He began to walk back into the gate. "Wait!" Eari called. "I promised your brother, I promised him that if he would ever return to Amestris I would go too! Please, if he has any chance of returning there... I don't want to die!" Al took a look behind his shoulder at Eari, tears were spilling down her cheeks. So he turned around and picked her up bridal-style. "Okay," he said, walking back into the gate.
