On the way back to headquarters, Ed remembered what Mustang said earlier, "Hey Colonel, you really think that my mom is Juliette? Well...I have been thinking that she does look familiar." Mustang turned and said, "Ed. Just get pictures of your mom and look at her at the same time. You'll see that they are the same person."
They stepped into Mustang's office and Hughes just flopped down into a chair. "Man that guy was heavier than I thought." Ed sat down and said, "Oh, stop complaining Hughes." He looked at Al, who was staring out the window with a depressed look. Al sighed and said, "I thought it'd be great with my body back, but...I still feel like there's something missing.But what?" Hughes got up and walked over to Al. He put his hand on Al's shoulder and told him, "Al, don't worry. Your body is just a body. It doesn't make you who you are. That's your soul's job, and if you feel complete with just a soul, then that's all you need." Al looked up at Hughes and smiled.
In the room just below them, Envy, Lust, and Sloth were talking. "So, when do I get to make Ed pipsqueak-sized? Oh! I forgot. He already is!" Envy joked. Lust just hit him on the back of the head. "Ow! That hurt!" he yelled. Lust told Sloth, "The Elric's are starting to figure you out. It won't be long until they do." Sloth just nodded, "Yes, I know. They should've figured it out a long time ago." Envy jumped up and yelled, "Yeah! But those two are stupid! They couldn't figure anything out even if they tried!"
Envy's yell was loud enough that Hughes, Mustang, Al, and Ed heard him. Ed jumped up out of the chair and ran out into the hallway. Al, Mustang and Hughes ran out with him. They ran downstairs into the below hallway and listened for a sound. There was nothing. It was completely quiet. In the other room, Lust and Sloth both had their hands covering Envy's mouth. Lust whispered, "Can't you ever shut up for a minute!" Ed and Mustang walked a little further down the hall. "Where did the noises come from? I know I heard them." Ed said to himself. Hughes and Al were standing where they were and a door opened behind them. Hughes turned around quickly and saw Havoc stading there. He yawned and asked them, "What's with all the noise?" Hughes grabbed his shoulders and said, "Havoc. Do you know where the noise came from?" Havoc scratched his head and replied, "Yeah. I believe those noises came from...me." When he finished, he stepped back and transformed into Envy. Al and Hughes both backed away. Envy laughed and transformed back into Havoc. He then pulled out a gun and pointed it at Al.
