[still in the living room]

Roy: There's something I want to know, and I feel you're holding your questions. So why don't we trade with this?

Ed: .....

Roy: Tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you at the Fuhrer's palace.

[Roy leaves]

Envy: You're going too far with that bunch of big words!

Envy: And daring to be so arrogant in front of this guy. This bun face must be tired of living.

Ed: Envy! You're not allowed to attack him!

Envy: How is it? Are you protecting him? Oh, of course, you've become his dog.

Ed: I won't argue with you here. But if you want to return to the world over there, we must gather as much info about this world as possible.

Envy: What do you mean? Don't you know how to go back?

Ed: Wait! There may be an army waiting outside.

Envy: Despite all, you still don't trust him. He's really pathetic.

Envy: Even if there are soldiers outside, they won't be able to harm me, but just become corpses in vain. That bun face is still smart.

Al: .....

Ed: (With all the things going on, I forgot about Al's presence.)

Ed: You, get out of here!!

Envy: I'll come back for you again.

[Envy leaves]

Ed: ....

Al: ....

Ed: Al, about that...

Al: Brother, I have many things to ask you.

Al: But not today. It's already late, so let's go to sleep.

Al: Good night, brother...

Ed: Good night.
