VIDEO ARCHIVE INTERVIEW 1902 - EDWARD ELRIC
Family... it means a lot to me. It’s my whole motivation for continuing this fight and helping you out in the first place. Maybe I would have still escaped if I had no one to fight for... I wasn’t ready to die on my fourteenth birthday but somehow... I think I would have been monster food by now.
[SILENCE. 12 SECONDS.
NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW.]
I don’t really remember my mom. I know I had to have had a mom although I’m not sure how that happened... I only really remember the dorms but I don’t think I was born there, because if I was then my mom would have only been thirteen at the time... I don’t think that’s possible.
I know... that my mom was really sick when she was alive and my dad... that bastard, he wasn’t around to help her. I don’t know how I know this, I just... maybe it’s a residual memory or something stupid like that. I don’t know. But I hate him.
That was why I focused so hard on my Change Power, I thought that with alchemy I would be capable of doing anything... it backfired on me, I lost my arm and leg and I endangered the life of my little brother, Al.
[SILENCE. 39 SECONDS.
NO BREAK IN VIDEO INTERVIEW.]
Al... he’s my whole reason for believing in this fight. Even though he isn’t here he keeps me motivated and if I didn’t have him to fight for then I wouldn’t have even attempted to hear you out. I don’t believe that you’re going to help me get back to the Dorms and rescue my little brother before his fourteenth birthday, that is something that I’ll have to figure out and work towards on my own but for as long as I’m here I can train and hone my alchemy again. I can become strong enough to do this on my own. So... I know I’ll see my little brother again.
I guess... whilst I don’t really remember my family and they’re not actually here anymore to stand beside me and support me they still mean a great deal to me and I’d do anything in my power to protect what’s left of it.
...Yeah.
