No. I knew there was a possibility that I could die in Ishval. I've been okay with my own death since then. I knew I'd probably die trying to take down Bradley, and I was fine with that.

But it's something different when you're actually dying, I guess. I wasn't afraid - it happened too quickly for me to really realize it - but I don't want to go through that again.
