Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath

Remove all obstacles from our path

Nothing could stop me or make me refuse helping this boy I had used to be created. Edward was the real me, and I was just a shell made for doing Father's bidding since his true son wouldn't.

All of the sins knew how horrible Father truly was, but no one could raise a finger to him. He was God to us, and he could destroy his creations, us, whenever he desired to do so. I felt I was the one to stop him.

There were no obstacles to block me; after all I'm not like the others. I still have something human in me.

Asking questions

Search for clues

The answer's been right here in front of you

I had asked questions, searched for clues, blamed innocent people for everything that happened to me. There was only one person to blame, all the clues were obvious, and I had never asked the right questions.

The truth had always been in front of me, but I had never had the will to believe this was a reality. Not even Envy had shown me and I could no longer trust the person I loved so. I had figured it out on my own with Edward's help.

The only person who I had to blame was my own Father, our Father…

Try to break through

Long to connect

Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath

I reached a hand out to the blonde boy and only wanted to know he would always be with me. I longed for him… Another imperfection Father had never wanted me to have was to know of my true self and that was why he always kept a close watch on me.

As I spoke to him without using my voice, he only remained despondent to me. His once beautiful golden eyes I had stolen were now glazed over; another sign of how much farther he was falling away from me. From his own salvation.

Loyalty, trust, faith, and desire

Carries love through each darkest fire

All I could offer was what he once offered me and other people. Edward had lived by helping people all the while achieving his own goal, but I had only taken and never given. It was time to go beyond the sins I had once been restricted to.

I offered him the human emotions he had shown me and finally he looked at me. The real me that had been hidden inside for so long. Now he realized that it was him he saw inside of me. I was no more than a copy of what he had been when he had control.

Tortured insanity

A smothering hell

Try to escape but to no avail

This boy had survived this hell he had been put through, and only now was giving up hope.

Many times he had tried to escape, but all those times I had only smothered him more and tortured him.

Now was his chance and I would do nothing to stop him or refuse him. I had done this too many times to not be a sin in itself.

The calls of admirers

Who claim they adore

Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more

No longer will I hold Edward in… Father had claimed to adore me, yet when it all came down to it; it was no more than empty praise. All he wanted was to get all his use out of me and then make me disappear if I disobeyed him.

It was time I finally realized this, and now I could do something about it. I may be the sin Pride and a homunculus, but on the inside I was still partially human. This would save me from an eternity of suffering and pain…

My virtue has finally come to relieve me of this barren existence.

Innocent victims of merciless crimes

Fall prey to some madman's impulsive designs

Another innocent victim had fallen to Father, and become part of his plans. It could have been anyone to have chosen from, but this madman had chosen his own flesh and blood, his own blood.

Nothing could've been more disgusting and disarming in what humans may think as a moral guideline. To this man, there was no such thing as innocence or evil; just his own creations doing his bidding.

Step after step

We try controlling our fate

When we finally start living it has become too late

Maybe I didn't have to exist after all, and maybe none of this would've happened if Edward's own pride hadn't interfered. No one had a power to predict what fate had in store for us, and this was the result.

Edward had tried so hard to control his brother's fate and make him fully human through ways he shouldn't have done. By the time he had realized his mistake, it was too late to change it and so he kept it a secret.

That caused me to be created when Father was ready for his payment for the his gift to him. Then I was born as another sin, and another part of the perfect race Father desired. I figured perhaps I could give Ed a chance to live again with his own free will. All in all, it was just another thing I wished to happen.
