Tempest didn’t go looking for trouble. Well, strictly speaking, that might not have been true. At least, she didn’t ask to be singled out by a bat-shit crazy alchemist. She didn’t go actively looking for homunculi to capture and use her as a bargaining chip against her father.

She rubbed her wrists with a pout as she stretched, hopping up to stand next to Envy. “Truth!” She complained. “Did you have to make them so tight?” “Yes.” Envy said smugly. “I
