[Ed's view]
I suddenly remembered who I was forgetting. Pinako.
I walked to Winry's room, where she was reading an automail book.
"Where's Pinako?" I casually asked.
Winry put her book down. She looked down with tears in her eyes.
'oh no' I thought.
"Where's old lady Pinako?!" I half-yelled.
"she's gone... she died 2 years after you guys left. Old age I suppose. She was buried next to your mother's grave..." She said quietly, a few drops of tears running down her cheeks.
"Why didn't you call us?!!" I raged.
"Because... I don't know. I thought you were too busy getting your bodies back that I didn't even think of it. I'm sorry. I should have called." She said nervously.
"But still!!"
She stood up and stared deep into my eyes with a furious look.
"But still what?!!" she yelled back. "It's your fault for not calling us! You went away for 6 years and you didn't visit, let alone call us once!! I tried calling you once or twice but you never picked up the phone! I was all alone and I had to go through each day like that!! You and Al were all I had left after Pinako died. And you didn't contact me once!!! Do you know how it feels to be left alone like that by people you love?!!" She was as confused and angry as I was. By now, her tears kept rolling down.
I stood there stunned. I looked at the ground... speechless.
"Yes, I do know what it feels like. My father abandoned me and my mother died, remember? So don't think that I don't know how it feels." I said seriously, bringing my voice back down to a normal volume.
I walked off to my room and shut the door.
Flashbacks ran through my mind as I lay on my bed.
When that damn Hohenheim left. Winry's parents. When mom collapsed. When she got sick. Her funeral. Our stupid attempt to bring her back to life. The house that we burned. All we left behind.
I lay there silently. I didn't know what to do. I needed to call Al anyway so I can ask him for advice.
... Wait, I'm the older brother. The famous Full Metal Alchemist. Why do I need to ask my YOUNGER brother for advice when IM supposed to be the one who knows how to deal with fan-girls?!!
Well... I need to call him anyway so I might as well....
