Trisha patted his arm. "Dear, he left us so he could draw Dante away so she couldn't harm us. It's not his fault he left too late. Try not to blame him too much. He loved us all dearly. And if you do find him and ask him to take on Dante, he's more than a match for her, but you have to warn him about Sloth. In the landlord's world, he was caught off-guard by her and Dante sent him to the other side of the Gate where he was essentially useless to the boys. Edward ended up killed at Envy's hands because no one was there to help him."
She frowned. "Although that does beg the question of where he is. If he can't be found, perhaps we can be of use. The Gate can't take you into service to give you direct protection yet, you're too young, but maybe some of the others around here could help. Like the landlord and his brothers. Brian hates his mother with a passion that's almost holy. They may be able to go back to your world with you and help you."
