Hey, just want to let you know I added your username in the tags so that next time you can tag your name along with the prompt number! Haven't read your entry yet but I should be able to soon. :)

Thank you very much! I'm being honest when I say it's the first FMA piece I've ever written. :)

I like that Roy and Riza came out to witness Pinako's funeral.

Thank you!! I figured Winry might have asked them to come :)

I liked that Roy and Riza came for the Elrics, even though they didn't know Pinako well enough to be disturbed by her passing. I also liked that Roy felt guilty that he wasn't upset.

Thank you!! I really do feel that Winry might have possibly extended an invitation, even if they didn't know Pinako well. And because they didn't know her, Roy felt not sadness just guilt that he held no emotion towards it. I also feel that funerals really bother Roy, just my little opinion. :)

Peace was slowly coming back to Amestris.
Yet death continued on.

I really liked that line.

Thank you!!

As much as Roy can change Amestris for the better and has been able to change it, he can not change the fact that people still die. And I feel that in the end, death bothers him even if he doesn't show sadness for someone's passing. :)

This is your first FMA fan fic? Congratulations! I think that you gave it that FMA feel with insights into Roy and Riza. And, yes, any death, even that of a very old person, makes one wonder what the heck it is all about.

Thank you! And yes, I just signed up on a whim and this is the very first FMA fan fic. Hehe. I'm glad that I hit the nail on the head with my first try!
