[076] [accidental voice]

[the transmission begins mid-sentence; the sound of shuffling papers and flipping pages can be heard]

--don't know what it means yet, but I figure it has to be important. [...] The names are the same as the ones you hear around here, and if that's where Green is from... Hey, Al, can you pass me that notebook?

[A pause, much, much longer than it ( Read more... )

[His mind had turned from sadness to anger. Whatever shred of respect he had for those bastards was gone, and they had taken fucking with him and the people he cared about one damn step too far. That was enough to put him at war against the lot of them.

When it was silent like that, it was easy to pretend he was fighting this on his own, like he didn't have anyone to think about. But then she said those words -- 'we,' 'us.' And it pulled him back to reality, because there was no way in hell he could leave her there like that, without him, without Alphonse. The others were different, they would be fine. But Winry...didn't belong there in the first place.

And, hell...she was right. Al would wait forever without complaint. Ed wasn't gonna let that happen, no way in hell, and the thought of it made him more angry. How fucking close had they been? Al with that dangerous edge of hope to his voice--

He pulled her closer, slightly, hardly enough to notice but more than a grand gesture for himself. Maybe he needed her there. So much for not making her cry again.]

...Yeah. Think he's been waiting long enough, though. No more messing around.

[ Winry looked down as he spoke. 'No more messing around.' She didn't think he had been messing around before. All that research he did, volunteering to go beyond the city, and even faking his own death.

Now that Al was gone, what extremes would he go to? She knew that he'd do anything to get back home. However... ]

...Ed.

[ Her voice wavered slightly as she spoke. ]

I know how angry you must be. And I'm sure you're just as determined as ever to get out of here. But I don't want you to do anything stupid -- don't risk your chance of going home. Don't risk too much.

[ She stopped, unsure. There was more she wanted to say, but Winry doubted if she could put it into words properly. ]

[He paused, glancing at her for a while. The slight shake to her voice, the pause, the wavering conviction... He noticed it, but he didn't really know what it meant.

Don't risk too much. It wasn't like he had much left to lose. But...

He was silent for a while. Stupid and reckless -- it fit him to a T, didn't it? Everyone had told him so, but he never really listened to it from anyone but her. It was always just who he was, but when it came to her... Making her cry again wasn't an option. He had made a promise.]

...I know.

[It wasn't just about him. Maka, Rin, Sakon, the Colonel and the others, Haru and Kai -- and her. Winry. Her above all the others. There wasn't a way in hell that he could leave her here.]

I'm gonna find a way home. For both of us.

[He had meant to say 'all.' He didn't even notice.]
