October 3rd, 1911... The brothers will never forget that day. The day they burned their memories to the ground, leaving nothing but ashes to remain.
The older of the two, Edward Elric, couldn't help but feel he pressured his younger brother, Alphonse Elric, into this life. Life where all there is searching, running, and dread.
With himself without two limbs and his brother only a soul in a suit of armor, he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Aside from the extreme amount of guilt, they must face the fact they have attempted the ultimate taboo. Human transmutation.
