Your dear mother has no idea about what you guys are going to grow up to be. She just has dreams for you two to grow up and live good lives. She doesn't have a clue. And don't worry; maybe your little brother Al seems to be annoying now, but you'll be thick as thieves in no time. All it takes is a little bit of time.Hey there Ed. Wow, you're seven now? Looks like you're definitely your father's kid, and so is Al. Don't get too lost in those books; Trisha doesn't want to have to dig too far to find you in there! Your father won't be too fond of that. You shouldn't mess up his study so much! Make sure to put those books back! Trisha seems so proud. She always gets that sad look in her eye when you ask about your dad, but your alchemy exploits always seem to cheer her up, don't they? She always says you and Al are his sons. I think so, too. Hey there Ed. That's such a tragedy for ones so young. You're only ten, Al's a year younger, why should your mother have passed away? You're not old enough to try to set out on your own! But, I guess I can't hold you back, huh? Those golden eyes are so full of determination; you're going to set things straight. You're going to bring back your mother, at whatever cost. That lady, Izumi Curtis, certainly she can help. She'll teach you if you have to get down on your knees and beg. You wound up doing that at some point, didn't you?Hey there Ed. Wow, I can't believe you really went through with that. How could you have been so stupid?! Every thing you've ever read has told you human transmutation was forbidden! Even with that theory you shouldn't have tried to go through with it! But, my god, I can't be angry. You were only trying to bring back what was left of your family, and even after that backfired you sacrificed part of yourself to keep your brother in this world. I can't stay mad. But now what are you going to do? Even with automail, what's next? See that "Colonel Mustang" man? He offered you such an opportunity. Hey there Ed. You're twelve now. It's even your birthday today! And what a miracle you got to witness. That little girl, Elysia, you helped bring her into the world. Of course you were that warm and soft when you were born. Though you're even cuter now, don't know why you'd be concerned with how you were twelve years ago. But don't forget, you've still got to pass your exam. Hey there Ed. Wow, it's been a few years, huh? You're fifteen now. You've been through so muc, haven't you? You've got more to bear on your shoulders than most adults have to live with. Those golden eyes, once so full of innocence and hope, have hardened with experience and hardships. Don't worry, Al couldn't possibly hate you for what you've done. Maybe you don't notice it, but he blames himself for what happened those years ago. And all those dead ends on your one hope of salvation haven't helped either. Don't worry, I know you can do it. Hey there Ed. Please don't go. I don't want you to. Al needs you here, you can't just leave him! You're not allowed to die, you're not allowed to leave. Please Edward, you can't die, you have to take care of Al! We can't bear to see you taken like this! This isn't how you were supposed to go! How could Envy have done this, this shouldn't have happened! My god, Ed, please don't go . . . .Hey there Ed. You don't know me, but I'll say, I feel so ridiculous right now. You don't even exist, really. The closest I can come to knowing you is watching your adventures again and again, copied onto a couple of plastic disks with holes punched in the center. You only even live in my T.V. But, I still feel like I've been there with you through thick and thin. You don't know me and you never will, but I wish I could have been there. From the heart of a fan, huh?Just wanted to say hey there, Ed, 'cause not many others would, even in your world.
