Truth
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is Alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth."
I feel that my whole life has been so wrong, yet so right.
It's like my life is always bending and twisting, and sometimes even shattering.
I wish Dad had never left us. Maybe some things would be better. Maybe…
And when Mom died… Alphonse and I were just so heartbroken. So alone. It was like our worlds fell apart. Then we had to try to bring Mom back. We were so ignorant for that. I mean, poor Alphonse lost his body! And I gave up my arm and leg for him. Because I loved him. I was able to let his soul inhabit a suit of giant armor. It isn't fair for him though. His life will be so hard and heartbreaking. Unless I get that Philosopher's Stone.
If it wasn't for Winry making me that automail…. I would probably be dead. Winry Rockbell, one of the best friends Alphonse and I ever had. She so great. So smart…and pretty. I'm glad she's a part of me.
I'm glad to be a state alchemist, but it sure does grind my nerves when I am referred to as a 'dog of the military'. I only want to complete my life goal.
I pray that one day, I'll find the Philosopher's Stone, and restore Alphonse's body as well as my limbs….and maybe Mom too. All I know is that me and Alphonse will stick together. We'll overcome any obstacle. I know we'll be back to normal soon.
For now, we'll live life to the fullest and always strive to do our best. I'll do all I can and become the best alchemist. And I will complete my mission, no matter the cost.
After all, I am the fullmetal alchemist
