I'd already been there before, I guess there was this mentality there that we weren't any different from our previous selves. So even without memories of the place, we were still friends to those who stayed behind. I had a friend from home too, and my brother was there- but he vanished about as soon as I arrived.

[He shifts slightly, watching the kick. One thing Ed did not like talking about regarding Purg was that Al disappeared as soon as he got there, it seemed to only highlight the point that they were just there to suffer all the more.]

If you lived there for years with an entire city of your closest friends? Yeah, probably. Somehow I doubt Tartarus was full of housing and shops to get by that long, though.

[This is said a bit wryly. It was hard to call Purg anything else, though. Even if he had literally hired people just for the sake of babysitting them on more than one occasion.]
