"oh, Envy . . . your the only one who understands me anymore"

"uh-huh. well, we can't help that now can we?" he said, looking irritated.

"I don't know what I'd do without you," "well, lets not find out." he replied, looking

into my eyes and taking my hand.

I didn't know why, but for some reason, I felt I couldn't live without him.

"so," he continued, "how'd you get away from Ed?"

"he fell asleep."

"good. . . . did you have to . . . ?"

"no. I put peppermint in his coffee."

"good. . . . how long do you think it'll be, before he finds out?"

"as long as possible."

"hm."

"it's getting late . . ."

"yea." he seemed sad, somehow.

"goodnight Envy."

"goodnight."

After that I left, back to Ed's house. The only place I felt safe and comfortable enough to call home was with Envy. The other humunculi all knew, but they wouldn't tell anyone. They hate Ed, and that I'm grateful for. If he, or anyone else, found out, this false illusion of peace would be shattered. I want to leave, I tried once. Roy found me and brought me back. He put me up to this, being with Ed. It wasn't my choice. I want to escape, that's all I want. To be able to live my own life. And I'd give anything for it.
