Ling calling Greed out on his hypocrisy is so good. Ling’s never refused to give up on something he wanted. He even turned himself into a monster to get his hand on immortality. Ling makes a better greed than Greed does.
I especially like this line for how it ties in with what Bradley said last episode about how his wife was the only thing in his life he’d chosen:

“You can’t just erase them from your soul. They were the only part of you that you chose!”
“If you turned your back on something you wanted, you don’t deserve to call yourself Greed!”

Ling's more than happy to give him shit. They make an interesting pair, with both seeking to achieve power, though in different ways. Ling’s such a GOAT. Honestly equal to Greed to me.
Seeing Greed in as much pain as he was also shows how different he is from the other Sins. There was some real pain in his scream at the end; it was a harsh reminder to us that the Homunculi definitely are human in some way.
I also love how Ling, Greed and Bradley all contrast and connect together through their character arcs, ideals, themes and developments.

It’s such a layered rivalry/dynamic and a very unique one that I haven’t seen before. The similarities and contrasts are insane.
