Slowly images flooded her head, blurry then gradually they cleared Ed's memories had always been more vivid to her than most people’s even when he was not sleeping. She looked into his gentle golden eyes then closed her own. She felt his grip on her hand tighten and they both leaned in until they were close enough that she could feel his breath on her face.

Images filled her mind as their skin touched. Slowly, Noah reached back, and her fingers softly laced with his. Ed blinked at her, surprised, then held out his hand as she almost apologized. It was an impulsive question, born only from her curiosity. Me and Al used to compete to see who can make the best flower crown for Mom.” Ed looked around the small garden fondly then pointed at a small plot in the corner, his eyes far away. Noah had seen her from Ed’s memories and the photos around the house-the woman with brown hair and gentle eyes who had loved Ed and Al so dearly that they committed a taboo just to see her smile again.

Noah still couldn’t shake the habit of comparing Amestris to Earth. The midday sun shined high in the sky, bright and hot not unlike her old world’s. The wind played with her hair and left goosebumps down her arm as it swept past.
