Wrath, Unleashed Thoughts!
Movie spoiler, anime ending!
Resembool wasn't the same after that.
Alphonse is back, Edward was supposed to be there too.
Equivalent trade, huh?
Is that love?
Homunculi don't feel pain.
Wrath was nothing but confused. After what happened with the Full Metal Alchemist he didn't know what to think. It still didn't make sense the fact of his arm and leg belonged to him. It wasn't making sense the fact of his 'mother' being 'his' teacher…It wasn't making any sense the fact of him being an Homunculus.
Homunculi don't feel pain. Homunculi don't die. Homunculi don't love.
Wrath was his name. He felt wrath every time he saw Edward. But every time he saw Edward he felt jealous, he felt his heart or whatever he had in its place, be crushed and be melted. Somehow, he didn't have reasons to hate him. He only hated.
Homunculi don't think that way. Homunculi don't have a soul.
"Why do I have this feeling of emptiness?" – Wrath wanted a soul.
"Can I have a soul?"
Homunculi exist.
But Wrath didn't want to exist. Wrath wanted do live. He wanted to be happy at least once; he wanted to have his mother. He wanted to feel alive. He wanted to have a reason.
He was there, laid down, many meters far from "Rock Bell Automail". He was observing a ten-year-old boy playing with a dog near a lake. He knew him, he knew his armor. Behind him, on the top of that green small hill was a blond girl, the girl who gave 'life' to his lost members. (Lost? They weren't his in first place…) She was looking to nowhere, expecting, waiting, wanting.
"He is looking for his brother" – Wrath felt uncomfortable and couldn't help start thinking. Thinking about his motivation, wondering why he was following a dream which was impossible to reach. See his brother again, only? A dream like that was just illusion, nothing nut illusion.
"And even if he reached it…"
"When dreams come true, they stop being dreams…so, what's the point?"
Wrath stood up, and for the very first time he felt a spark in his chest. He felt like he could, after all, exist, and prove he was a living being with a purpose.
"They stop being dreams, but they become reality"
"At least I can help him fulfill his dream…and maybe I can…"
His mother crossed his mind quickly, and remained untouched there inside his mind.
"But what if I can't find her?"
He wanted to take that risk. It was the equivalent trade, after all…al the cheerfulness he was feeling that moment filled his entire self, and he decided to help Al.
"But what if I feel pain?"
And he remembered his last thoughts. And rushed to the lake's direction.
Homunculi don't feel pain. But Wrath wanted to.
