[Maes nods. Even though he hasn't exactly gotten the most reassuring answers, there's definitely a determination there that as long as he has SOME kind of life he's going to keep fighting for it.]

It is something. And I'm going to do everything I can to fight for that existance to continue as well.

[Maes frowns at what comes after the pause, shaking his head slightly.]

I don't know if we're talking about the same thing here, but as far as I know where I'm from when humans messed with trying to restore people from the dead it didn't work out to tell for anyone involved.

[Edward and Alphonse had lost their bodies and from what Maes had gathered the thing they'd brought back wasn't even human. He was skeptical about it, but he'd been brought HERE somehow. So there had to be other ways.]

Is this related to something that happened on your...vacation?
