The truth of Hades statement hits him like a slap in the face, because while it's a truth that's been there, occurring to him as he runs through the possibilities, it's not one he wanted to face completely.
He stares up at his weapon in growing horror before looking back to the suit of armor, eyes focusing on the blood seal. No...
"It's not... I won't let it happen!!"
He practically shouts the words, dropping the helmet to crouch before the suit of armor. As in in a craze, he finds the closest thing with a sharp edge--a pen--and doesn't even flinch as he stabs it into the flesh of his hand, drawing it down enough to produce a free-flow of blood. His fingers move quick, drawing a new blood seal like he'd only done it yesterday, the act so fresh in his mind, on the shoulder of the armor. The blood still flowing, his next action was predictably to slap his palms together and to the armor as if the reaction will be different now from how it's been the past three months.
Nothing. Ed stares in shock for a moment before he's on his feet, smashing the lamp on the nearby end table with a shout of fury.
