  Summary

  Mustang has written a letter to which Ed and Al have very different reactions. While Ed's temper flares under his moral convictions, Al has a crisis of conscience and shuts down. Caught in the middle, Winry can once again do nothing but wait. What is the true price of using the Philosopher's Stone? Worse yet, what is the price of not doing so? Can the answers be found in the storm clouds over the cemetery, or are they as unattainable as the brothers lost innocence?
