Things Which Link The Past, Present And Future

A solemn but hopeful reconnection between to two soldiers compacted into a short but sweet story about their relationships.
It's not too sad or dark though, I added an element of humour.

Author's note:
My narratives I feel are very canonically based stories with thorough research into characterisation and relationships. It was a long and detailed project despite being one part.

Personally, I really am a sucker for my subjective interpretation of their relationship as 'more than friends' but 'less than lovers'.😍
So I focused on that this story despite my burning desire to ship them and smash their heads for a smooch🤣.

Hence, I believe non shippers who are just fans of FMA and FMAB can really enjoy this one too.

I wanted to express the humanity of the characters as dimensional as possible, while including subtle input of philosophy which follows the psyche of war veterans since I feel it is something people should engrave into their heart and never forget.

I'm still a student who writes for practice and seeks advice.
Please let me know for any feedback of sort whether regarding philosophical ideas, or literal grammar etc, but refrain from hate speech or criticism.
