what would the case be for characters such as alphonse elric where they don't have physical bodies but rather bound to an "empty shell" which limbs fall off easily? would their partner feel the pain from something that isn't the character's actual physical body, and, if so, to what degree?
Hello, anon! An excellent question.
In the case of these scenarios, they would feel the pain somewhat, yes. It would not be as extreme as some other pairs, but it would definitely be noticeable. Say, if one normal pair feels the pain as the equivalent of getting punched in the face with steel gloves at full force, the person with a partner without a real body would feel the pain as the equivalent of getting punched with just a bare fist at full force.
So, it would hurt, but it would be less painful than if your partner had an actual body.
