Führer King Bradley arrives at Lab 3 and informs the guards outside that he will be going in alone to offer assistance to Colonel Roy Mustang. Deep underground, Lust pulls her bladed fingernails from Roy's abdomen and explains again that the Philosopher's Stone is her body's core. Revealing that Homunculi - being closer to the Truth than humans - are the next step in the evolutionary chain, Lust lets Roy fall, shreds his ignition cloth gloves and laments having to let a potential Human Sacrifice candidate die before heading off to deal with the other intruders. Roy lies helpless as Jean Havoc slowly bleeds out on the floor and begs his silent subordinate not to become another one of his comrades to die before him.
