[The PCD is pulled out of Al's pocket. He's wearing a zipped-up jacket of soft brown leather, and the helmet he uses for the Zoomer. He sets the PCD on something, presumably the seat of the Zoomer, and takes off the helmet. His messy hair falls down around his face, getting into his eyes. It's tangled from wind, and for a moment his face seems much more shadowed and worried than normal. He doesn't look like he's slept much.]
Ed, Mom, Winry's gone.
I can't find her anywhere. Her PCD isn't putting out signals. I've been trying to get her for the last few days and there's nothing.
[He sighs deeply, eyes distant as he toys with the helmet.]
... I guess it's for the best that she's back home, though... she missed home a lot.
...
Asuna, let me take you for a ride on the Zoomer? We haven't done that in a while.

There's new information on the situation I need to get to you. What's the best way?
