"Brother, do you think animals are scared of death like us?"

Ed looked at his younger brother before returning his gaze to the starry sky above them. "I already told you, Al, they don't have perception of it as we do."

"Oh? So what do they live for?"

Ed shrugged. "Breeding."

"Breeding? Isn't it boring, to live just to create more creatures the same as you?"

"I don't know," Ed shrugged.

"Is that why Mom and Dad had us?"

"Probably."

"Oh," said Alphonse. There was a short pause. "I miss Mom."

"Yeah, me too. Soon, Al."

Al smiled. "I know."
