Just So You Know
Laurel wore hatred and shame like a well-tailored suit, like a second skin, like if she distanced herself from those two things she would be lost forever. Laurel lost everything during the Ishvalan War of Extermination and had been living her life ever since feeling like a broken little girl. She could cut the throats of hard-edged thugs and of men three times her size but she felt small and useless. When She and her friends are given the mission to locate and capture Alphonse Elric, Laurel's life changes and the edge she's been sitting on breaks. "Who could ever love me?" Laurel would wonder. She's about to find out.
