Part 2/8:
The journey begins with two young brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric. After their mother tragically dies from cardiac arrest, the grieving siblings turn to Alchemy in a desperate bid to bring her back to life. Despite Alphonse's reservations about the ritual's dangers, Edward persuades him to go ahead with their plan. The attempt, however, results in catastrophic failure—the brothers face dire repercussions, including Edward losing limbs, and Alphonse losing his entire body, leaving only his soul bound within a suit of armor.
