Some days, she'll go out with that lantern, and stare off into the distance.
On, off. On, off.
The clicks soothe her and pierce her in equal measure, her blonde hair blowing in the evening wind.
On, off. Click, click.
The stars are coming out but she refuses to look at them. Her eyes do not move from the cemetery, and Winry can almost swear she can see those flames coming up from over the hill, as if time never moves from that haunting day in October, and remembering Ed in Al's arms, metallic now, nearly dead, and if she'd been breathing she would've screamed.
Winry shakes her head, blonde hair whipping, the wind picking up as dusk swiftly takes hold. Don't think about that. Just keep going.
The latern's mantra continues as her eyelids flutter, and she tries to imagine him coming up the path behind a running, laughing, human Al, his yellow hair stained darker in the sunset that is now far behind her, a smile on those beloved lips.
The tears fall thick and there's a tiny smile.
On, off. Click, click.
