"Can you hear me?"

The blond girl was digging in her tool box. Her lack of response should have been enough of an answer for him, but he was always the stubborn type.

"Hey, Winry! Do you hear me?" his voice came louder this time.

The mechanic stopped for a second. She seemed startled, and was looking around to find the source of the noise she thought she'd heard. Nothing.

"Yes! I'm here! Please try to listen to me!" excited, Edward raised his voice even more. "Please listen to me!"

Winry frowned. Maybe she was going crazy after all the stress of the past years. Maybe her mind was playing tricks on her. Maybe she just missed him too much. A couple of tears slid down her face.

"WINRY!" Edward yelled. Last chance!

Winry was shaken again. "E-Edward?" she barely let out.

At the same time, in a place he liked to call 'the other side of the Gate', Edward sat on a couch with some wires connected to his body. On his left side, what looked like a blue lamp was glowing bright, and a man with thick glasses kept looking at him and then to his notepad, scribbling down any change in Edward's reactions, waiting for something big to happen. And then it did.

The lamp that used to glow blue started filling the room with a red light. The man with the glasses stared at the golden haired man in front of him and gawked in amazement. Right there was the sign he had been hoping for. It was subtle, but having known Edward for the last year, he could tell it was a big sign. After all, in all the 365 days they had worked together, not once had Edward smiled like he was smiling now.
