[at the love park, a kitten rescue place]
Ed: ... Wow...
Al: Xiaosan, hey! Were you a good boy?
Ed: Just as I expected...
Al: Brother, here's where I usually volunteer. My job is to take care of these homeless kittens.
Al: Besides, the manager of this place is a good person... Ah! He just came over.
[Scar joins the two brothers with a white cat on his shoulder]
Scar: Welcome to the cat Love Park.
Ed: Aaaahhhh!! He appeared!!
Al: Mr. Scar! Good morning.
Scar: Good morning, Al. Ah, this is...
Ed: (Aaaah!! And he's really wearing an apron!!)
Al: This is my brother. And this is Mr. Scar, brother, the founder of Love Park. He's really gentle and a good person...
Ed: >o< Don't say it again...
Al: Brother, don't you like him? Even if Mr. Scar looks fierce and strong, he's actually kind and caring.
Al: Thanks to him I can...
Ed: (The nightmare became true! It turns out that's the meaning of "Phantomphobia"!)
Scar: Hello. My name comes from this scar.
Ed: .....
Ed: Hello, I... My name's Edward.
Scar: Pleased to meet you.
Scar: Al, your brother's figure is also pretty slender.
Ed: (What does "also" mean!!?)
Ed: (Forget it... This place is too embarrassing... I'm definitely not in my world.)
Al: Mr. Scar, my brother's temper is a bit violent, but please don't care too much.
Scar: Of course, I feel we'll become good friends.
Al: Exactly!
Ed: .....
Ed: (Actually... Maybe the Scar from the other side is a good guy?)
Ed: (Thinking about it, I...)
Nina: Al bro!
Ed: (That voice is...)
[The three turn around to see Nina running towards them]
Al: Ah, Nina... Did you come to help today as well?
Ed: ....!!
Al: Brother, she's Nina, a girl who lives nearby. She also comes often to help.
Ed: .....
Al: Nina, this is my brother Edward.
Nina: Edward... brother?
Ed: (Why... is Nina here?)
Ed: He... Hello.
Nina: Hi! Do you also like kittens and puppies, Edward bro?
Ed: Ah... Um... Yes, I like them.
Nina: Great!
Nina: That one over there, the kitten with the soft tail, it's called Xiaosan. It's very sticky and cute.
Nina: Al bro, Edward bro, Nina and Xiaosan, all play together.
Ed: Ah, good...
Ed: .....
Ed: (Why is this world like this...?)
Ed: (She should be... Why is she here?)
Nina: Edward bro?
Ed: Ah, uh... what happens?
Nina: Are you okay? Is it a stomachache or do you feel bad?
Ed: Uh... Maybe it's a cold. I don't know why I feel a bit cold.
Nina: But... the weather is so warm... Are you sick?
Nina: Ah, that's why you're so small!
[Ed turns into his angry red chibi form]
Ed: Hey, don't call me small!
Nina: Ah ha ha ha! Edward bro heard this and changed his face! Your cold will be cured soon.
[Ed turns back to normal]
Ed: Ha ha...
Ed: (If there's no alchemy, no alchemy at all, then the world should be so happy.)
Ed: (Yes, it's not that the world is strange, but...)
[later that day]
Al: My brother and Nina helped a lot, and it was hard.
Ed: Basically... I didn't help at all.
Nina: Ha ha! Also, Edward bro knocked over the milk!
Ed: Uh... that's not nice to say...
Ed: (Geez... Taking care of the kittens is much harder than what I imagined...)
Al: Then we'll return home now. Let's go, brother.
Ed: Ok.
Nina: Hey... Are you leaving?
Al: Well, Nina has to go home soon. If not, Dad will be worried.
Nina: Nina doesn't care... because Mr. Scar is here.
Ed: .....
Nina: Edward, will you come again?
Ed: Uh...
Ed: Of course, we'll play together next time.
Nina: It's a promise!
