Would you kill someone to save your brother? Whether it be an innocent or a villain?
“Kill to save Alphonse? You mean like it’s them or him? Like I lose him if I don’t kill someone?” His mind reeled but he knew he had to tell the truth. “I mean... I guess... I dunno...” the panic was setting in. “I love Al with everything I am but I mean...to kill someone...a life is a life and all life is important but it’s Alphonse....I couldn’t just let him die...but to act in such a way wouldn’t it be selfish?”
He sighs and starts talking to himself.
“What’re you saying, you’re already selfish. You’d do anything to save Al. You die for him, so to bloody your hands...what kind of solider acts without thinking they might have to kill someone? Dammit Edward what have you gotten yourself into?”
He sighs again, looking back at the person before him.
“I’d do everything in my power not to. I don’t really care if Al would hate me for it, I couldn’t just watch him die. Not again.”
