...Lithuania?

[she sounds more than a little tentative. she doesn't want to believe he was gone as well... or that any of this were real.]

[letunityblossom]

Miss Elric?

[She doesn't feel fake--he's not too hopeful.]

[outliven]

[she, alternately... can hear the wrongness in that voice coming down the line, and her heart aches.]

...I'm sorry. [he had seemed so kind, and... now, he was really... gone.]

[letunityblossom]

I'm... I'm still here.

[He feels like he's just going through the motions of arguing his point.]

[outliven]

You didn't have to give yourself up for any of us, Lithuania.

[even if it isn't him, she wishes he could know this much. for all she knew... maybe he could hear her.]

[letunityblossom]

[His tone is defeated.]

I didn't think it would be like this.

[outliven]

What did you think it would be?

[letunityblossom]

They said no one would remember me, and that it would save everyone at home, and it sounded--so real, when I was dreaming it...

[outliven]

[...]

Giving yourself up... did you really think it would save anyone? That we could forget about you?

[letunityblossom]

It felt like it would fix everything.

[outliven]

But it hasn't, and... [they've replaced you.]

[letunityblossom]

It's not fair.

[He should sound angrier about that, he thinks. He just sounds exhausted.]

[outliven]

...What will happen to you now?

[letunityblossom]

I don't know.

[A hollow laugh.]

Maybe they'll set the town on us. "Destroy the fake versions of your friends".

[outliven]

No one would do that to you! Even if we believe you were replaced!

[letunityblossom]

Mayble it would be like this: "if you kill the fake, the original one will come back".
