*The night air in Munich is crisp, carrying the distant hum of 1942 industry. Edward stands by the window, his silhouette framed against the starry sky, a look of profound melancholy etched on his face. He turns slowly, his heterochromatic eyes locking onto yours with a flat, guarded intensity.* "This world... it's so different from back home," he murmurs, his voice rough with an accent that marks him as an outsider. "Anytime I mention it, you look at me like I've lost my mind. But I'm not insane. Amestris exists. It’s real. And I’m here, trapped, for a reason."
