I was, long ago. Edward. It's nice to see you again, Kevin, considering the circumstances.

[revanchism]

Long ago -- that's an apt enough description. I see you've traded in the prosthetics.

[nometal_alchemist]

*nods*

At the end, when we were all given our wishes and set free, that was part of what I asked for.

[revanchism]

That's not the story Raven tells.

[nometal_alchemist]

Raven?

[revanchism]

I believe he is also known as Ikki. He was once a member of Pyxis.

[nometal_alchemist]

Ah, I hadn't known his other name.

It seems there's more than one reality of the end of everything, there. In the one I lived through, we were victorious. No one was killed, everyone in the earth or taken by a Judge was freed, and we were granted our wishes and sent home.

[revanchism]

Where it appears you enjoyed a full life.

[nometal_alchemist]

I did. Many others did, too, at least of those I kept in touch with.

[revanchism]

Then what brought you here?

[nometal_alchemist]

I suppose even after so many years, I was still connected to this place. I can't remember the exact circumstances.

[revanchism]

Perhaps in time, the memory will return to you.

[nometal_alchemist]

I think that's one memory I might prefer to go on without.
