[Al and Ed are lying in bed together, facing each other]
Ed: Al? Are you asleep?
Al: Huh? What happens, brother? Can't you sleep?
Ed: It's nothing, really, I just want to hear your voice.
Ed: (There isn't that kind of empty echo in your voice, I haven't heard it for such a long time...)
Al: What? Brother, are you talking about your dreams?
Ed: Maybe...
Ed: In fact... I feel like living in a dream now.
Ed: Or perhaps, I don't know if I've been living in a dream all this time.
Al: Huh? A dream?
Ed: It's very strange to say so... Even now, I feel strange...
Ed: This isn't my world... But I don't know why did I come here.
Ed: In the world over there, we tried to resurrect our dead mother with a technique called "Alchemy".
Ed: But we failed. You lost your whole body, and only your soul was fixed to a suit of armor.
Ed: And I lost my arm and leg and replaced them with automail...
Ed: Just like what you see now.
Al: .....
Al: Do you think that "dream" is a nightmare, brother?
Ed: I don't know...
Al: As for me, everything I experience with my brother makes me happy.
Ed: .....!?
Al: As long as my brother is by my side, I won't be afraid. As long as I'm with my brother, no matter what happens, I feel I can face it.
[Al takes Eds left hand]
Al: Brother, do you feel me now?
Ed: Oh... Al?
Al: I'm here. I've been here all the time, brother.
Ed: ... Al...
Al: Good night, brother.
Ed: Yes, good night.
[Everything get's black, Ed thinks]
Ed: (Even though automail can't sense temperatures, I could feel Al's warmth.)
Ed: (The same warmth of my memory, which I was always afraid of forgetting...)
Ed: (This time, I won't let it go away.)
