Well, what can I say? I was reading Full Metal Alchemist, and I came across chapter 95. I read it, and a small idea started to form. That idea turned into a large, bug me to no end until i type it out idea...
Anywhoo, I also read wikipedia, for my own weird purposes, and I was a little confused. It said that Envy was disgusted that Ed understood him and committed suicide, but if you were disgusted with a person, named Edward Elric, who you always called bean before, just cuz he didnt like it, would your last dying words be "Bye bye, Edward Elric" with like, tears and everything.
"You…You're envious of humans."
Envy paused.
He had to be bluffing. There was no way that THIS human of all humans was going to understand THAT!
"We're so much weaker then you Homunculi,"
Well, duh! You guys can't regenerate! Do you understand why you guys are so laughable now? Do you? DO YOU?!
"But battered, confused, even when we're beaten, and about to collapse…even when we know it's pointless, we always stand back up."
Wait, where was he going with this? Was he… no, it couldn't be; he's only a human! Those idiots always act first and dramatize everything they think about later! Humans did not understand!
"And if we can't, our friends will lift us up."
No way. The kid could NOT be saying what he was saying. There was NO way!
"You'll never have that…and it's made you jealous of us."
The kid said it! AGAIN! Edward Elric just empathized with him! Envy, the homunculus was actually understood! This was just too much! He had to get away.
"Hngh! Ah!"
He had to get away.
"Hey, knock it off!"
He had to get away!
"Cut it out, or I'll"
'Chomp'
Envy slithered away, and fell to the ground.
Free! Away from him!
"You're envious of humans."
No! He could still hear it!
"We're so much weaker then you Homunculi,"
Why wouldn't the bean leave him alone!
"But battered,"
Why? Why? It wasn't supposed to end like this!
"confused,"
Why did it feel like forever, those simple words forever spinning around his head? And the voice! There was real empathy in his voice!
"even when we're beaten,"
It wasn't pity, it was more than sympathy.
"and about to collapse"
Everything there was empathy, enlightenment, understanding! Not pity or scorn! Just pure understanding!
"…even when we know it's pointless,"
No one ever understood Envy until now
"we always stand back up."
He was always seen as a monster, as sadistic. No one knew what his name meant; no one saw the loneliness that sparked his sin.
"And if we can't, our friends will lift us up."
He's hated humans for never having understanding him, never understanding THEM, for always assuming.
"You'll never have that…"
He's always hated that they kept their empathy for themselves only.
"and it's made you jealous of us."
And he's wanted it more than anything
Dimly, he could hear Hawkeye cock her gun, and Scar holding her back, but that didn't matter.
"He doesn't have much longer."
He's right. It's going to end here!
"How humiliating…."
The irony of it all.
"Reduced to this pathetic form…"
Envy, with nothing left. Nothing at all,
"With you humans, with you humans mocking me…"
Gets what he always wanted
"And worst of all,"
From the one person
"The lowest, most disgusting one of you…"
The only one, where in the most impossible situation,
"That kid is the one who understands how I feel!"
He would still have to fight, still have to beat.
"It's the ultimate insult."
The one person he can no longer fight, who gave him what he has wanted, needed, for all those years.
Envy pulled out his Philosopher's Stone, his life-blood, from his being.
If Edward Elric could give him what he always wanted,
Unconscious tears flow from his eyes,
Maybe he can give the Full Metal Alchemist this.
And fall to the ground, washing away the envy, and the cold masks he's always worn.
He wonders, with his dying breaths
"How much further will that simplistic outlook take you?"
Will Edward Elric, Full Metal Alchemist, be able to save anyone with his morals? Will he do the impossible like before?
"Bye, Bye…Ed...ward...Elric"
Thank you. Thank you, Edward Elric.
