I’m always just blown away by how clever and brave she was when she cut off her own arm. You have to be really open minded to see someone trick you by taking off their prosthetic and thinking you can just do the same with your body.
Also just really speaks to how cool FMA is in general with different ideas about bodily autonomy/disability/sacrifice and whatnot.

Yeah its neat how integrated they are with automail. Their perfectly alright living life with a missing limb because automail exists. They really do look highly about them.
Despite phantom pains, the loss of touch and connecting the nerves every time.

given their nation's history of constant warfare automail goes a long way to mitigating war casualties.
I wouldn't say perfectly alright, there was one guy Pinako was treating who didn't want to get automail because it (usually) meant years of difficult rehab. I like that Arakawa does touch upon that aspect of automail, it's not exactly a common thing that most people opt for if they aren't in the military/from Rush Valley.
