Summary
Ed remembers Roy’s voice in his head, in their tent in Ishval, the memory of their conversation as clear as the desert constellations used to be:
I want to change this place. I want to get rid of what’s wrong here, Ed. I’m going to take the Fuhrer’s seat and change everything to how it’s supposed to be.
The very same epiphany hits Ed like a train. He digs his fingers into the dragon on his pocket watch, forcing feeling to return slowly, so slowly. He can’t look away now. He can’t run away again.
After Ed defects from Ishval he runs away to Resembool. It isn’t long before Bradley finds him and convinces him to come back.

Summary
Ed’s face haunts him from back then. His golden eyes were alight with such incandescent hatred. When Ed broke the belt chain off of his pocket watch to slam it into the ground, Roy thought they were going to get into a physical altercation. Roy remembers what he said then with disturbing clarity as Ed slammed their shoulders together: You’re better than what they make of you.
“After what you saw,” Roy decides finally.
Ed’s face is unreadable as he watches Roy. Then, after a while of no one saying anything, Ed explains himself with: “You make my heart hurt.”
After Ed defected from Ishval, Roy finds him again at Fort Briggs.
