[It's like it knows when something is wrong.

The communicator clicks on to see Hughes putting Elysia to bed quietly. She's fallen asleep already, knowing how late it was, but Hughes wasn't going to be falling asleep anytime soon.

He slips the blanket over her and tucks her in, brushing her hair aside and kissing her lightly on the forehead. Turing

It's nothing.

[She may be gullible but she's not stupid.]

Something is obviously wrong, you don't have to tell me what it is...but I want to do something to help you...

[kodac_moment]

It's just...

[He takes a long breath.]

You know how... I always talked about going home?

Hi. Mr. Hughes, I...

I just wanted to say, I'm really happy she got to you safe, and you family can be together again...and that it's awful little kids like her and Lilo have got to be here, but...

And I understand this is going to get very complicated, Lilo's asking me questions I don't know how to answer, but I-

I'm happy, that you're together again.

Nani...

Thank you, and I agree... I'd rather her home with her mother than stuck here with me, even if... [His voice trails off.]

I'm sorry... just... tell her what she asks. You can't starve a curious mind...

Thanks.

[betterassister]

...I understand. I'm very sorry.

Mm. Alright. We'll talk...I don't really know what to say. The way they...put some families together here, and keep others apart...

Bring her down tomorrow for lunch at the cafeteria, okay? She and Lilo will make good friends.

I'm sure by tomorrow I'll feel more... up to talking.... I'm glad Elysia will have a friend here. Lilo's a good kid....

[ She sounds tearful and worn out ]

Mr. Hughes, I --

If you need anything...

[ But her voice cracks a bit and she can't continue. ]

Ahh...

Please don't cry, Winry.

I don't... want to wake up Elysia.

...There's a saying about death and the nature of "second chances"...

[kodac_moment]

...

Could have done without loosing the first chance.

[cozmic_travel]

I didn't think you were the sort of man to allow regrets to bother him, Hughes-san...

Though I suppose the sentiment is understandable. Humans have such fleeting lives, in the long run...

[kodac_moment]

Hmph... Not usually, but this one is different.

It's hard to know what you've got til you've lost it.
