Edward walked in to central expecting to see the smiling faces of Roy Mustang's team but was greeted with solemn faces and a grieving atmosphere. Slightly taken back by this he said "hey guys what's up?" being the one to greet was new to Ed but he needed on wanted to find out what was going on but he only got a few grumbles as hello's Ed looked at the calendrer July 23 it read he didn't get it what so special about this date was July 23 like October 10 to him? He looked around the room again only to find one person missing "where is the colonel?" he asked they looked at him then looked to Riza then looked back down so Ed looked to Riza whiting for her to explain she sighed "the colonel is at the graveyard at the moment Ed" he was confused why was he there why would he be there anyways "but why?" he asked again to find that none of them were going to answer. He went out of central to go to the graveyard only to stop and look at commend center and find that the entire place looked gloomy 'I wonder why' he though. It was only a couple minutes till he was looking through the rows for graves looking for the colonel only to find him standing at a grave that was all the way in the back under the willow the grave was covered with flowers that is when he started to piece it together whoever that was important to central epically the colonel and they died today. He walked over to the colonel standing next to him Ed picked at his face that had tears running down it then looked at the headstone it read
In loving memory of
Celestine Abell
1885-1908
A friend, daughter, doctor, and hero
"she was one of or front lining medics in the war that is how she died" Ed heard colonel say "I had known her for just a little over 3 years she saved my life when I first joined the military so I got to know her and soon I fell in love with her" Ed didn't say anything so Roy contained "I still remember that day like it was only just yesterday she as already on her death bed because of kimblee putting poison in her blood but when our camp was ambushed she was shoot multiply times one grazed the hart I remember holding her while she was dyeing she made me promise not to commute the taboo and then she had Huges promise to watch me but I never got to tell her how much I love her how I love her hair the way she talks and the way blue eyes burned with fire and though I know she would have not want me to I blame myself I blame everything one myself for a year it hurt so much not hearing her not seeing her not being able to hold her the way she fit so perfectly in my arms I just wish that I could hold her one last time while I look into her burning eyes as I tell he 'I love you' but I can't I just sat there and watched as she slipped away from me and now she is gone forever" with that Roy turned around and left with tears still running down his face leaving Ed there all alone as it started to rain
