The Hidden Truth


 

The boys return to Central, only to find the library in ruins, and to make it even worse, they've been assigned guards to protect them from the alchemist murder who is still on the loose.  Upon further investigation, though, they learn that there might still be some home ... Good for them that one rather curious girl has 'borrowed' a lot of material from the library, right?  Sheska has another interesting ability: whatever she's read, she can remember perfectly, but when she presents Edward and Alphonse with the manuscripts that she's been able to replicate, they're positive that there's a mistake when they realize that it's a ... cook book?!
