It's the heart afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance

The first time he met her after she was reborn, by the forbidden act of human transmutation, they were at each other's throats. He wanted to believe that she was the one that has been in his heart all this while. But no, he knows that she was no longer alive, no longer able to smile and wave at him. How he wishes that he was dreaming and he never have to wake up.


It's the dream afraid of waking
that never takes the chance

She was called Lust by her comrades, the samepopulation who were not human but yearn to become humans. There were seven of them, the homunculi, named after the seven deadly Sins. Though not all of them wanted to really become a human again, but she really wanted to.


It's the one who won't be taken
who cannot seem to give


She has memories of her past which she could not pinpoint, she seeks to recover herself, or the part when she was still alive. So, she pursued relentlessly. For the Philosopher's stone, this was guaranteed by Dante that she will become human again. Until the day she realized that she had been led on all the while, she left the Homunculi and aided the Elrics in obtaining the legendary stone. All she wants was to become a human...

And so afraid of dying
that never learns to live

She meets him again, in the City of Lior where he was planning to transmute the military soldiers swarming into the city into the Philosopher's Stone. That day, they had a talk.

She saw his tears fell as he talked about his brother. He spoke of his love for his brother. It was the same way as Edward loves his brother, Al. Then she understood why he had kept interfering in their plans. If she knew how to cry, she would have. I wanted to tell my brother, how much I love him too. She listened attentively as he speaks, never interrupting him.


When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long

Before the day ends, she asked for his name, but he answered that he had betrayed his God and thus, was not fit to have a name. He left soon. And she never saw him again.

And you think that love is only for the lucky and the strong

She left Lior City too and continued to help the Elrics. But her end came soon when the other Sins destroyed the source she needs to sustain life. The Elrics were somehow grateful to Lust and Scar for helping them. The two alchemists still believed in Equivalent Exchange even after what have happened. After the twist and turns of events, Edward and Alphonse went through the door and both ended up in a place known as Munich, Germany.

On the other side of the Door...

Just remember in the winter
from beneath the bitter snow
lies the seed

Edward and Alphonse halted a truck in the middle of the street. The truck driver offered them a ride to their destination. Grateful, the Elrics got on smiling at the kind couple. "Scar and Lust..." Edward nodded to Al, who had also recognized the couple. The two twerps chuckled to themselves as the loving couple waved them off in the distance.

That with the sun's love
in the spring becomes the rose...

-Finale-
