My question is for Edward and Alphonse
Why did you decide to do the taboo? You knew it was forbidden. Why?

Ed: I believe that the answer is all over the place.

Al: We wanted to see our Mom again, and we clung to any bit of hope we had. We didn't know what was going to happen, but we only hoped to see our mom again. That was all we wanted.
