[The scene is a cramped room, full of mechanical bits and tools of all sorts. A teenaged girl is staring in the viewscreen. She reaches out and taps on the casing.]

I don't get this thing. Where did it come from? The technology is so different than what I'm used to. [She frowns then sits up, exhaling sharply so her bangs fly up away from her forehead.]

But I guess I can talk to people from here, huh? So, I'm Winry Rockbell. [A sweet smile breaks on her face.] I hope to get to know you soon.

All I ask. He trusts you. He... well, there are different kinds of love, and even if the only kind he has for you is the one that calls you 'meimei' with a straight face - little sister - he has that in spades with you.

'Little sister'? Oh, geeze.

Not saying that's what it is. Just that EVEN if what that is... I don't presume to speak for him, just I KNOW he has something deep with you, just from talking.

We grew up together. Of course there are feelings there.

My soldiers use relationships as weapons - fighting in a dream-battle, a battle of hearts and minds, literally. We call on friends and lovers for power...

...God would weep at your and his weapon.

I don't want for him to be a weapon! I want him to be a boy. I want him to be happy again, him and Al both, with their bodies back and no need of the military. I know you're a military man but...he's not. Yes, he wants to help people but in his own way. Not because he's ordered to.

If I knew what being a dog of the military meant, I wouldn't have wanted it either, let me put it that way...

So, Mr. Preston, we're at a stalemate, huh?

Re: [DC 25 Hacking check LOCKED text]

Yeah, I guess so. I'm just... well, let me say this - if an Anchor hit her Pilot on the head with a wrench, she'd be off active Anchor duty for at least a month.

I can't come and do that. And don't want to. Or want to need to...

I understand what you're saying, Mr. Preston, but this is really between Ed and me, isn't it? I know you care for him. I do, too. He and Al mean more to me than I can ever explain and you can begin to know. I'm not an Anchor and Ed's not a Pilot. We are what we are.

I appreciate what you think you're doing for Ed. It shows you're a good friend to him. But I've known him all my life. If he has a problem with the way I treat him, he'll tell me. And if you think Al would ever let me hurt Ed...you don't know those boys at all.
