The Door

Ed's choices, two years later. Drama, I-3.

"Nii-san, you're not our father," Al murmured.

"But what if I am?" Ed slumped. "I mean, what if this was how it started with him, too? A few trips to the city to pick up something for Mom, and then some trips further away to find some interesting books or talk to scholars, and then he got into something bigger than he could understand, and the next thing you know he's creating monsters and destroying cities and not giving a damn about his family."

*grins* Glad to please. And, really, even at 23, Roy seemed so young. Sheltered. Very much the hot-shot academic who's been dropped into a war. Ed still has a broad streak of innocence, but he's already savvier than that.
