When they meet again, Ed looks nothing like himself and Winry seems haunted by a past she won’t talk about. Necessity forces them into a reluctant alliance, but how do you heal old wounds when life has broken you down?
Meanwhile, Roy Mustang is left with a chilling disappearance that could hide a more sinister truth, and the only person who has answers is dead. Or is she?
