The alchemy is unforgiving. The Elric brothers have already learnt this, but they have nothing to lose. The life of one of them is no longer a life. The other lives only with the dream of returning himself and his brother to what has already been, what is no longer there.

They are ready to take the risk. They have to. They have made a few steps towards the goal, and there are only burned bridges behind them.

Alchemy must obey Edward, and the search for the Philosopher's Stone must succeed. Alphonse will have a body again. Edward will get rid of the steel that holds his arm and leg. He feels that the solution is close: why else would they be hunting him? It seems that all he has to do is reach out to succeed, but the secret manuscript claims that the Philosopher's Stone can not only bring the Elrics no closer to their goal, but also take them infinitely further away from it.

A new obstacle or an unexpected opportunity - alchemy is so ambiguous after all.
