Al... he still has SOME difference comparing to his brother two years ago. He wears gloves on BOTH hands, and his hair is messier.
I think I understand why Ed's looking so dazed... For one thing, he's separated from everyone he knows and is now living in this completely strange, new world. Now he's studying rocketry, and if I remember correctly what the people said in the interview. Ed would no longer find the point in pursuing something he might fail on, so I guess at that point, Ed was thinking of giving up on the study, thereby losing the meaning to live. I had those moments sometimes, where no matter what you do, nothing ever goes right. My grades are dropping like missiles, and no matter what I do, it's not getting back up... kinda sad... But it's nothing comparing to what Ed has to go through...
