'You want to be stronger, right?' Some would think that all he wanted was a new piece of armor but Ed could sense some ambition. As to why that was Ed would never know. Perhaps unlocking the requiem skill had significantly improved his understanding of skeletons, there was no way to be sure as the skill's description hadn't detailed hard facts.
