As much as I would like to agree with you, that just isn't the case. Haven't you seen other people who look like you, or similar to each other? If you haven't yet you soon will.

I don't know entirely. No one does, but this place just brings a bunch of people who...well I guess are suppose to be the same person but from different worlds and times. I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me either, but the Ed I know isn't a suit of armor. He has magitech limbs. Al is a suit of armor instead...
