[Accidental Video Post]

[As it so randomly does, Winry's cell phone video turns itself on, showing an image of her, leaning over her work bench. The room is dark, with only a single candle lit, so it's hard to see much of anything. What can be seen is Winry's shoulders, shaking from her crying.]

I-I wi-wish this was over.

Oi.

Oi, oi, oi, oi, oi.

Oi. None of that.

If you can't do anything but wait for somethin', the worst thing you can do while waiting is really do nothin' but wait. Stop crying and black some smiths or mail some autos or something. Take my whole futuristic visiony word for it, whatever it is'll probably smooth out pretty soon if you just don't do nothin' too big.

Probably won't be the last. The "this" you want to be over can't be all bad, can it? Figure it's got somethin' to do with "Merlin" or whatever... Oi.

Even if I say "hold off", you sleepin' with your husband ain't unreasonable.

[hands4healing]

We didn't, all right? Is that what you wanted to know? [Sniffle. Possible voice breakage.]

[material_guy]

Other problems, then?

[hands4healing]

....If yer gonna pass on the obvious chance to tell me what, I'll just try to fix it blind, then. The end result's the important part.

Whadda you do for fun besides automail and delivering babies?

...Make pies. Talk to my friends.

I just made a pie yesterday. There's still a lot left over. My husb-Merlin had a slice.

[Wipes her eyes.]

... [Notices she's not referring to him as her husband.]

I got it. Call over a friend that just knows you and ain't too involved in yer romantic lives, someone from some other world you ain't got any connection to, or go over to their place, ignore everyone involved in what's makin' you sad, get shit faced drunk, and make me a pie while yer totally blitzed.

By the time you get over the not-baby-induced morning vomit session, you'll either have a whole new set of regrets and worries to fuss over and forget about what's riding you now, or it'll all be over! Or both! And you'll have an interesting story as long as your friends ain't completely boring!

...I haven't seen Al or Naoto since all this happened. Toki's been...hurt. Ed...

You're right, though. I shouldn't be feeling sorry for myself.
