[ Winry made the mistake of watching the report all the way through, and was quick to claim the bathroom to get sick in.  She doesn't handle gore very well. At least, not disturbing images like what she just saw on TV. Her first reaction after getting better is to try calling her 'home' and check on her 'dad', but she stops that effort halfway. Resulting in her just mumbling over the phone, unaware of the fact people can hear her. ]

I... can't...I... I need to calm down. I can't freak out... I have to be strong. I can't be a burden anymore...

b-but... That was... disgusting.. terrible... so many people... even little kids... and in their own homes... Even if they might be "drones" or whatever, those poor people....

Something like that just can't happen here... It can't... I have to toughen up. I can't let that happen here. I don't want to just be "protected" anymore...

O-oh... sorry Al... did you over hear that?

You're never a burden. And you're tough too. [He chuckles a little.] You're one of the few people that Ed will actually listen to. You've gotta be tough to be able to do that.

Al... Thanks...



Geez, maybe Ed's right. I'm such a crybaby...

You're not, Winry. [Gentle tone.] You're one of the strongest people I know. Crying isn't a sign of weakness.
