“Ed? Are you sure this is going to be okay?” It was Noah. The girl that knew what he was missing, the girl that wanted to go back with him when he went to see Al.

“I’m sure it’s fine. The apartment had been rented for a year and that was just a couple of weeks ago. It will give us a time to get our bearings and figure out what is going on.” Ed bumbled over his words. The girl did something to him that he just could not explain. It was not the same way he felt around Winry.

The only one that knew what went on in his mind was Al. But Noah imagined that was because of the link they shared. Not just being brothers, but also the alchemy.
