Mr. Elric
Your desire to protect your brother is admirable. It doesn't change that you deserve respect.
I know life is not fair. But it is good to know that. Most troubles come in when people expect life to be fair, fight for it to be so, and blame themselves when it's not. It isn't your fault General Mustang behaves the way he does, and it is not your fault that you are not dead.
At least I don't believe we're dead. I may be wrong.
