1 He Saw Both Reasons
It was surprising to me that I got to see the sight of a Homunculus dying...not many people got that opportunity.
I might have been sad...but I was too happy at seeing my wonderful Nina resurrected and resting in my very hands!
"Daddy! Daddy!" she seemed to say.
"This is what you wanted, isn't it?" The male Homunculus...the child...was talking. "To be a human so you can die with them."
The female Homunculus had been coughing up red stones until she spoke. "Maybe you're right. Where did I come from, and where will I go...when I die?"
Good question. I thought to myself, stroking Nina's face with my chimera hands. Too bad I can't help you.
"Maybe all this time..." continued the female Homunculus. "All I wanted was the freedom to find out."
The male Homunculus transmuted his arm with a gun nearby, changing it into a weapon long and sharp. A blade.
Walking over to the female Homunculus, the male brought down the blade, killing her in an instant. Because she was a Homunculus, there wasn't much blood...if any at all.
"Is that all being human is?" wondered the male aloud, looking at the ceiling. "That you can die? Then why...do I want to become one so bad?"
He looked at me, and I whimpered...he might have wanted to kill me...and my precious Nina.
"Well, can't you answer me? You're human, right?" he yelled.
I ran then, ran away from the Homunculus.
He was wrong, I wasn't human. I wasn't even a chimera.
I was nothing...but I was everything if I had Nina with me.

Author's Note: I bet that wasn't a surprise. Shou WAS the only other person there at the time. Besides the soulless shell of Nina. Well, this scene is done. PLEASE R&R!
