Alphonse watched his brother's sleeping figure.
'It's strange...' Al thought. "It's like he's in no danger at all.'
He knew of his fatal conditon, yet hoped he would pass the stage.
'It's sad... He doesn't remember who he is our who we are... Brother, I wish you could remember how important you are!'
"Alphonse..."
Al looked up. His brother was staring at him, his eyes half-opened.
"What is it, Brother?"
"I had a strange dream. I dreamt of me and you, as kids, and of this woman..."
"What did she look like, Brother?" Al asked.
"She had long brown hair. kind, green eyes and a the warmest smile I've ever seen... we kept on calling her mother... Al, was that our mom?"
'She fits the description. I think... is Brother remembering?' Al thought.
"What else did you dream about?" Alphonse asked.
"She was lying on her bed, holding our hands. That woman was dying, I could feel it. And then, she asked me to 'transmute' a ring of flowers for her. But before I could do it, she closed her eyes and..."
Edward could not continue his sentence.
'Just as I thought... he dreamt of our mother's death.' Alphonse thought sadly.
"I don't why I feel so sad thinking about her... I mean, why feel sad about a woman I don't even know? But then, I felt as if I knew her, as if she had been the woman who raised us... as if she were our mom."
'It's sad... he feels grief for our mother, yet he doesn't even know who she is.'
"Al..."
"What is it?"
Ed paused.
"I'm sorry, Al."
"Why would you say that?"
"I don't know!" Ed cried. "I don't know why! It's just... I feel as if this were all my fault. I feel like I'm responsible for this entire mess!"
"Brother... It's not your fault, really. It's no one's fault." Alphonse said reasuringly.
"Al..." Ed started, but no other words came.
Just then, a nurse came in.
"Mr. Elric..." She said to Al. "I'm sorry but you have to leave. It's time to check your brother's temperature."
Alphonse nodded and started to leave.
Then he saw a glimpse of the reflection at the window.
He saw the nurse's hand turn into a knife.
Al's head turned.
"Goodbye, chibi-san." The nurse said.
Al's eyes widened.
"Envy..."
