Mankind cannot gain anything without first giving something up in return. To obtain something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of equivalent exchange. In those days I believed that to be the world's one and only truth.

Ed, Al and I just tried to bring mom back from the dead. But for some reason I'm in this white void.

Nate: Ed! Al! Where are you guys?! But a better question is, where am I? What's with this door?
???: So you've come.
I turned around and saw a white silhouette of me.

Nate: Who are you? What are you?
???: Oh who I? One might say the world you might call me God, or perhaps the Truth. I am One, and I am All. So of course that means I am you. I am the truth of your despair, the inescapable price of your boastfulness. And now, I will bestow upon you the despair you deserve.
Just then the door behind me opened and thesetentacle like arms grabbed me and pulled in.

Truth POV:
I just thought of the perfect punishment for that alchemist as I watched him go though his portal. I also know that pesky Dwarf in the Flask is planning on absorbing me. This way I stunt his plans and punish that alchemist. ThoughI'll erase the memories of those who knew you. That way I can kill two birds with one stone. Once the Promised Day is over and done with I'll return their memories and I'll let you decide which world you want to live in. No consequences. No exchanges.
Truth: Don't worry, young alchemist. I won't take your limbs, your body or your insides. I won't even take away your use of alchemy. I will take away your voice and I will also transport you to another universe. One without alchemists or alchemy. You'll also be a Homunculus who can use that Ishvalin's circle of deconstruction.
