Lust's mind was whirring with the plan she had thought up. After hearing Dante's insane talks she knew that she would never become human if she kept with her. Her last hope was with the Elrics. She could only hope they would listen to her and help her. She glanced down at Wrath who was staring intently ahead, smirking as he imagined ripping Ed's remaining limbs off for himself.
