ED! AL! WHERE ARE YOU?! PICK UP THE PHONE DAMMIT!

[ Despite the obvious blood where her friends should be sleeping, Winry has spent the last few minutes screaming into the phone, only pausing to choke on her tears or wait for a response. Even the TV program hasn't really sunk in yet. ]

Wh-what's going on? They usually pick up so fast... Ed always answers when I yell for him... Al too... They just went out. They just went out.... Th-they're not...

EDWARD! ALPHONSE! Please, ANSWER ME!!!!

[ At which point, it finally sinks in that they're dead. Winry drops the phone, which falls as far as the cord will allow and knocks against the wall. ]

This can't be... You two can't be... We were all together again, l-like before and... And we were supposed to be safe here, together... This can't be happening! You can't be dead! Idiot! You were supposed to make me cry happy tears! THESE AREN'T HAPPY TEARS AT ALL!!!!

[ And then all of this dissolves into sobbing ]

I won't forgive you! Whoever did this! I'll never forgive you for this!!! Give them back to me! Give back Al! Give back Ed! GIVE THEM BACK!
