Memory:
Significant-Negative - Meeting Coulomb again (Drama CD)



This is from the seventh track of the first CD of Meteor Plan. Very rough translation of the scene:
Ling arrives at the town's church. He senses that the entire city is surrounded by a weird aura, something that Ran Fan also confirms, and that that church is exactly at the center of it all. He decides to enter, ending up breaking the door. Suddenly, a man's voice starts complaining about the fact he'd just repaired that door a few days prior and calls Ling by his name. Ran Fan says she hadn't felt the man's presence in the church and he explains that hiding his aura has become a habit for him, and that he's surprised to see Ling in such a place. "It's been so long, Ling! Five years?"

Ling asks the man, Coulomb, what he's doing in Amestris-- or rather, why is he alive. He attacks him with his sword, but Coulomb manages to block it easily. Coulomb asks Ling how come the prince of the Yao clan is in Amestris. Ling insists that Coulomb had been sentenced to death and so he should already be dead, but Coulomb replies that everything he's done he did for the Yao clan, or rather, for Ling himself.

Ling: "Don't joke around! For me...?! That's not true, you—!"

Coulomb tells Ling to calm down and that it's about lunch time, inviting him to eat together with him. Ling doesn't approve . . . but his stomach starts growling.



Considerations:

This is significant negative because in the scene, Ling reacts very strongly to seeing Coulomb again. He basically loses it right there :'D also this is a rather funny memory to get given the theme of Queen's game and the mention of YOU'VE BEEN SENTENCED TO DEATH (Ling doesn't know it in this memory, but he was the one who sentenced Coulomb to death. FIVE YEARS AGO).

In Aather this is going to leave him pretty confused, because the previous memory he had with Coulomb in it was a rather positive one, and he understood he really liked the guy. In this memory, on the other hand, there's all the feelings of betrayal and massive DO NOT WANT DEAL WITH THIS-- which is a very unusual feeling for Ling to begin with.

And now he'll want to learn more about this guy and stuff \o/
