It was like watching a movie, except Ezekiel couldn't quit watching. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't block out the images, he couldn't stop the screams. What's going on? Why can't I make it stop? I don't want to see this! Ezekiel couldn't look away from the person who looked so much like him. Someone make it stop! I don't wanna see myself doing all these things! I don't wanna do these things! Ezekiel knew everything that Envy thought or felt, but it wasn't him. It was like watching a movie and reading a book at the same time.
Then, came a few moment where, Ezekiel wished he was Envy. A woman, Lust, comforting him. She could be cold, but it was only if they were in the presence of someone. Even during those moments, she never hurt him.
Greed was there in the beginning, somewhat of a big brother, but once he got fascinated by his own devices, he left. But, before he left, he made sure to let his siblings know he thought of them as cowards, and dragged out their vices,
Ezekiel couldn't stand it when he saw Envy killing people, children, revealing in it. Mustang came along, and Ezekiel's fear increased with Envy's, as he nearly burned to death.

"Too shocked by your own actions homunculus?" Mustang asked, looking down at Ezekiel coldly.
"No no no! I'm not a homunculus I'm not! I'm not Envy! I didn't do it I didn't!" Ezekiel yelled, scrambling away from them and cradling his head, rocking and sobbing.

"I wanna go home…" Ezekiel whimpered. I want Lust
