Well... I mean, Envy was a choice?
maybe I'm just saying some stuff to misdirect, and confuse, to make what happens next surprising?

The Ishval War 8: Like Cattle
Dante… that was her name… or was it his name. You didn't know, but you did not care, for all you knew, you were tied up in chains, bound with your hands separated by both wood and steel...
The coldness of the chains was quite evident. But her smile was what made you feel cold. It was like a sweet grandmotherly smile that was without… anything. Not malice, empathy, even a grace.
It was just empty.
"Hello dear… you have caused quite some trouble since you have arrived." She stepped forward, pulling a chair in front of you. "Do not try to move… seals can be easily broken by… swift movements." She then placed a hand on your face, slashing it open with her long nails.
She then licked the blood from her fingertips, before spitting it out. "Innocent blood… it seems you were worth the trouble. Most who partake in human transmutation are… guilty of many things… some wish to see their beloved… others to bring back another that was lost in a cluster of confusion. But all were guilty of breaking the Laws of Equivalency exchange."
This lady is insane… what the hell is wrong with her!? Exchange means nothing when one has nothing to offer in exchange for anything else… is that?
"But you did so out of a wish to trade a life for another. Soul for a soul, one you were fully capable and willing to pay." Dante smiled. "Tell me a tale young Alchemist… tell me a tale of why-"
The world went black, as your eyes rolled into your head.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You were back in Central… in your home's basement… but this time you faced a baby. Your baby sister.
She was exactly as you saw her when she was… gone. Unmoving, unflinching. You had stolen her body away from the coroner and the morgue… you wanted to do anything… to show her the life that she could live.
You carved the seal into the nursery and placed her body in her crib, the same one you had made for her, by hand, not by Alchemy.
The last words you spoke to the world were a prayer… and hope. "Let's live, for life is for the living."
-------------------------------------------
"Not just innocent… but a sacrificial lamb for anyone whom he considers a friend or family." Dante smiled. "It must burn for such a betrayal to occur from a man you had known. You may not have trusted him, or enjoy each others company, but he did share a common cause… finding the truth."
You sweated but tried to breathe, but the chains seemed to get tighter. Crushing you.
I just wanted to give her life.
That was when you felt a pang… pain but something else…
"Parents died soon after… childbirth is dangerous… your father disappeared in mysterious circumstances… and a brother died in the line of duty." Dante smiled.
"Would you like to see your brother again?"
What… That's… Did you see him die… or was that just a memory of what you hoped… disappearing into the night before the battle, alive, but a traitor…
That was when she opened a box and revealed a red stone… glowing bright in the dark night… it was filled with energy. "Your father wailed when he found out… he begged to die… Well now he can… watching you suffer… all you have to do for him to be released from this hell he is in… you only need…"
She stood. "To surrender."
She than waved and the chains brought you out of the world.
---------------------------------------------
Unknown Internment Camp, Ishval, 1901.
"Alfred… wake up." The voice was familiar… so familiar that you dared to hope.
And then your eyes opened, and your hope was… answered.
Your father was alive?
Why was he… How was he?
But then you showed your hands… you wanted to… say something to him.
What do you ask:

It's better to reject this because this is what Dante wants to surrender ourselves to this illusion of dad because I don't think he was a sacrifice

Something that interests me in the series, is that generally the mass of flesh taken by the rebound from the alchemist seems to be equivalent to the mass of the homunculus's body, despite the body being made of other ingredients.
Ed's leg and Al's entire body were taken. This would not be quite enough mass to create a fully healthy adult woman, but the homunculus was only partially formed, and very shrivelled.
Much of Izumi's internal organs were taken, approximately equalling the mass of a premature baby.
Roy's sight was taken, almost no mass whatsoever. However, no body was created.
But then, in bonus materials there are two other alchemists who've also tried to bring someone back, where this doesn't seem to apply. One loses his eyes to bring back a child, the other loses her leg to bring back a grown man.

Whereas I support the overall message of this write in, it needs some more commas.
Now my own write in this is obviously a trap... If she is in our mind/soul we have a gate leading to a dude that wants to tear her a new asshole, let´s take advantage of that, and if it is not we are probably facing Envy.

--[X] Make a quick apology.
--[X] Am I dead?
--[X] You are dead, and there is no coming back from the Great Beyond, how can you be here talking wo me?
--[X] How did you end up here?
--[X] Where are we and what the hell is this place?
--[X] Do you know how to get out of here?
--[X] Where is Dante?
--[X] Do you know how to kill the bitch and ger my body back?

That write in is acceptable.
but I think you should get some information about the situation you are in...
You are not in a fun place.

We are either in our mindscape and Dante is messing with us, or we are in an real prisoner camp and Envy is messing with us...
We are screwed either way @Magoose unless I am missing something.

Or your... in a very... wierd limbo because of... certain artifacts of an alchemical nature.
It could actually be your father. But that means you are... well not dead, just trapped.

Philosopher stones are not known to keep the sanity of the souls inside of it like at all, and the blood seals doesn´t work like that either, and those are the two only canonical ways of preventing a soul from moving on after death in FMA
I find it unlikely, unlike many shonens death is pretty final in FMA,

I never said it wasn't just that you are not all the way dead, even if... you are out of the body for the moment, as Alphonse showed, that is merely an inconvenience when your bro can sacrifice something for you to come rescue you into a suit of armor.
Well... There are ways for that to be... well... not so final... Especially when Dante still wants Gateless Alchemy, so that means she would need, in some way, to keep our soul alive and well so she can tap into it when she uses Alchemy and that would mean, keeping us close.
Violating the laws of nature by its very... well seems. We are in limbo, alive and dead, trying to figure out if you are alive... or dead, and you are just in a philosopher's stone?

This is hypothetical or you are confirming that we are actually in Iimbo?

I'm not confirming anything, just stating that it could be...

We have no in character reason to suspect that this isn't a trick. We can react as needed after things get clarified.

Well, I think that I am going to add a little thing in case it is our father, if only because we may save us an update to clarify things.
@Magoose would be acceptable to add this to my write in?
