[ 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...

I know, Winry. I don't want that to happen here either, but I promise, I'll do whatever it takes to keep you and Al safe. Nina too. [Uncertain, wrapping his arms around her in comfort.]

I want to help... Ed... Take care of yourself too, all right?

[braided_icarus]

Yeah, I will. You and Al too. [Relieved she's not crying so much now. Always so uncertain with the tears.]
