Ed,
So much has happened, I barely know where to begin.
Rose… she told me everything she knew. She said that Al had somehow become the Philosopher's Stone and that Dante, whoever she is, wanted to use the Stone's power to take Rose's body. She told me that you tried to stop her and that Envy, when he was a real human, was Hohenheim's son, technically your half-brother. And that when you found out, Envy had… Envy… he… he killed you. You were really dead.
Rose told me she was in a trance during this time, and that it was only your… death that woke her up. She said that a Homunculus named Gluttony started eating Al so he could retain the power of the Stone and somehow complete it. I really don't know how that works and it's really not important… she said Al used the power of the Stone to bring you back. And when you woke up you asked her to take Wrath and leave. And that's the last time she saw you.
Where did you go, Ed? She said you told her you were going to destroy the city. Surely you got out okay? …I don't want to think about this right now. I wish you'd come home.
Anyway, Roy's trial is over. It was such a high-profile case it went by fast. He got demoted to Corporal. It seems kind of harsh considering he was a Brigadier General going in, but considering he could have ended up on Death Row, this seems almost merciful.
Al's doing a lot better, too. He can walk on his own and he doesn't sleep as much. He still calls for you, though. He's started reading a bunch of old Alchemy books you two left around the house. Even though no one knows where you are, Al swears he's going to find you. I just hope someone does…
I miss you, Ed. We all do. Please come home soon.
