Chapter 4: Manifestations of an Isballan
Ed could say anything. He finally worked up enough courage to come out from behind the wall. "LOOK! LOOK WHAT HAPPENED TO ME!" Ed yelled.
Mustang was in utter shock. The arm that had once accompanied the body of a murderous Isballan was now attached to Ed's body. Mustang shuttered, "Oh, my god…"
Ed yelled, "I know, I couldn't believe it either. I can't live with this thing, it's controlling my mind!"
Mustang asked, 'What do you mean controlling your mind?"
Ed answered, "At certain points in time, I can't control what I do. I constantly black out and when I come to there's the bodies of state alchemists lying around me. I can't take it anymore! I've killed too many people! I'VE EVEN KILLED MY OWN BROTHER! Every day, I miss him more and more. I can't go on like this."
Mustang was in utter shock. It seemed somehow that Scar was reliving himself through the arm he had given Ed. H can briefly control his mind, leaving him no recollection of what he had done, just the bodies of his fellow alchemists lying lifelessly around him.
Mustang told Ed, "You can't go on like this."
