Izumi and Dante in “Unfinished Business”

Izumi

I was hoping you'd be happy for me.

Do not expect me to coddle you, Izumi, I haven't the talent.

Izumi

I'm leaving you and this forest... I'm going to live in the city, among the people who need me.

If approval is what you're looking for, then you might as well enlist and become a state alchemist. I heard they praise their dogs well in the military.

Izumi

Tell me something.

I think you should go now.

Izumi

Did you ever... Did you ever love anyone other than yourself, Dante?

Why should I love any human being? They are all ignorant, egoistical things beyond redemption. Once they learned how to use gun powder, they thought only about waging war. If they ever understood the secrets of alchemy, what a horrible tragedy that would be.

Izumi

DON'T FORGET THAT I AM A HUMAN BEING, DANTE, AND THAT YOU ARE TOO!!

(Dante sits there smile on her face; flash back ends)
