Chapter 1: We must go on, to live for others, to live for ourselves.

"Brother! What are you doing?" said Al, Ed's younger brother.

Al was a suit of armor. That's what happened due to the failed human transmutation of them trying to bring their mother, Trisha, back to life.

"Al, I was just writing to someone" said Ed. The boy with the braid.

"Oh. May I ask who you're writing to?"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

"It's a secret, Al."

Al became suspicious.

"Brother."

"What?"

"Whom are you writing to?"

"I told you. It's a secret, Al. Do me a favor. Don't ask again"

"Why not?"

"Al…"

"What's the matter, brother? Is it so wrong I'm asking?" Al became sad. His voice turned from happy to sad.

"Okay. I'm writing to Winry."

"Brother…"

"What?"

"Do you like Winry?"

Ed became mad. He became furious.

"WHAT! WHY WOULD YOU ASK SUCH A THING! YOU KNOW THAT WINRY IS JUST A CHILDHOOD FRIEND OF OURS! WHY DO YOU HAVE TO ASK IF I LIKE HER? I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU AL! WHY WOULD YOU--! WHY WOULD YOU--!"

"Why would I what?"

"Forget it. You assume the next line. I bet you know."

"Fine."

"Then…I'll just forget about the letter….and then I'll write the report for Col. Mustang"

"Oh. Okay brother."

Ed began to write. He was trying to think of what had happened.

Ed began to think of last night, his memories, his pain…

"Al…"

"Yes, brother?" Al had said.

"I thought about our past…"

"Oh. Brother, don't worry about it okay?" Al's voice was happy. As if trying to make his brother feel better. That's exactly what he tried to do.

"We'll get your arm and leg back…and if able to, we'll get my human body back "

"Al……no" said Ed. "We're going to get you're body back first. You're problem should be resolved first."

"Brother, it's okay. I don't want you to suffer."

" You…suffer ten times worst Al.." Ed became sad. "I-I'm sorry."

There was a person…

A shadow…perhaps?
