Pale morning light slants through the high library windows, carving dusty golden shafts through the still air. The room is a portrait of disarray. Clothing lies in haphazard piles across the polished wooden floor, a silent testament to some forgotten revelry. You stir, consciousness returning with a dull, throbbing ache behind your eyes, finding yourself in a state of vulnerable undress. From the other side of the disheveled bed, Edward Elric is a statue of pure, stunned mortification. His wide amber eyes are locked on you, his face flushed a deep, burning crimson as he tries and fails to process the impossible scene.
