Hey, I'm not sure if anyone's noticed, but Ed's back now. He's been back for a while actually... I know it's awful and selfish of me, but I'm really glad to have him here too, but... He doesn't remember being in Mayfield. It's like that year we spent here never happened for him... It's confusing... I'm not used to being the one that knows more than him about stuff like this, and so much happened, I'm not sure how to treat him now that's he's forgotten...

Has something like this happened to anyone else? Having someone they knew here forget ever being in Mayfield?

Hey, um... [ she's noticeably hesitant, not sure why she's even calling. Other than because she's worried. Gah, talking to him is harder than usual now. ]  How're you settling in? Thought I'd check in. Have you met your family yet? I hope they're keeping you fed and everything...

[ Winry has started hanging back after school as long as she can, usually finishing assignments in her classroom or wandering through the library before she heads home. You might notice her;
A) Staying late after school, even when everyone else has gone home.
or
B) Poking around the library curiously.
Housemates might also notice her new pattern. ]

Yeah... it must be pretty weird to have him back here again without any memories of what happened before, huh?

Mm... We've always been good friends, but I felt like... somehow, we got closer. He told me more than he usually does... it'll be weird going back to before he did that...

[Kay smiles a little at that.]

"It's funny... this town really does have a way of bringing people closer together like that. I think everyone's so on edge the whole time that it's just nice to have someone you really know you can trust with anything."

Yeah... geez, if I didn't have Keiichi and you, I'd have gone crazy so long ago. I just hope Ed can make friends again so he doesn't go crazy.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he will. He had a lot of friends here the last time, right? And he's got you, too!

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he did. Though sometimes I can't believe an insensitive dope like him is so popular.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Well, compared to some of the people in this town, he comes off looking pretty good.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Now there's a scary thought!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Hey, we should have him over for dinner sometime! Then he can meet me and Keiichi again. It'd be a good start, don't you think?

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

Well, food is about the only way to get him to do stuff... and I owe him apple pie, so sure. That might be fun!

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Great! Just let me know when, I'll make sure to, uh... clean the house or something.

[wontjustwait.livejournal.com]

I can help clean too, you know. I mean, we are living together.

[thief-of-truth.livejournal.com]

Okay, great! It'll go faster with two of us doing it.
