-- Phantomphobia --

Chapter 1 - 7

[in the city on the streets]

Ed: It's a strange street, but somehow it feels quite familiar.

Ed: (There are so many things I don't understand.)

Ed: (And some people I met greeted me, everyone seems to know me.)

Ed: (But I feel like talking to a stranger, as if I didn't know what the other person is talking about.)

Ed: (Just as it happens with Al here...)

Ed: (His appearance, voice and feel are all the same, but identity and experiences are very different.)

Ed: This is probably not the world I'm familiar with, but another place.

[Soldiers come]

Soldiers: Over there, over there!

Soldiers: That's right, it's that person, catch him!

Ed: Huh? Why are those guards running? What happened?

[the Soldiers run to Ed and handcuff him]

Ed: Hey! What are you doing!?

Soldiers: We're now arresting you on charges of attempting to assassinate the Fuhrer.

Ed: Assassinating the Fuhrer? Me!?

Ed: (I can't even understand what's happening here...)

Soldiers: We're the guard of the Fuhrer's palace. We saw you breaking into the palace last night. Isn't your name "Fullmetal brat"?

[Ed gets angry and turns into a red chibi]

Ed: Who is the small mosaic piece!?

Soldiers: Be careful, this guy is really powerful. Even if he's injured, he can heal himself.

[Ed is normal again]

Ed: Wait, what are you saying? Automatic healing abilities?

Ed: An homunculus... But why are there homunculi here?

Ed: "Fullmetal brat..."

Ed: Damn it! It's that Envy guy.

Ed: Have you seen Envy?

Soldiers: We don't know what you're talking about, but if you're smart, you won't resist. Let's go back to the military with us.

Ed: .....

Ed: (Why would there be homunculi in a world without alchemy?)

Ed: (And Envy was actually present at the Fifth Laboratory, so what happened in the end?)

Ed: (If I go to the military, I may understand the truth behind some things.)

Ed: (And maybe I can meet that person...)

[The soldiers take Ed with them]
