Ed looked at it. '…Apple pie?'
Winry smiled. 'I used Mrs. Gracia's kitchen to make it. See? Eat.'
Ed rested his head on a hand, thinking. 'Umm… It's huge,' He said, and muttered under his breath, 'And I just ate a little while ago…'
'Mrs. Gracia taught me…' Ed looked up.
Winry placed her hands on her knees and gazed downwards. 'Mrs. Gracia taught me how to make apple pie.' She smiled again. 'I practiced several times after that. Dunno if I should say it, but I think I improved.' She paused.
'I really…' Ed looked up as her voice cracked, his mouth set in a frown, eyes sorrowful as he watched the tears cascade down her face. 'Wanted to let Mr. Hughes eat it someday…!'
Ed stared at her as the sobs racked her body, fighting back his own tears. He wanted to reach out and hug her, hold her and tell her it was alright. To kiss away the pain and make her forget. Make the tears stop falling. But he didn't. He couldn't. So instead he did all he could. With a sigh of resignation he took a slice of the pie and bit into it.
'… It's delicious.'
It was pathetic and he knew it, but it was all he could do as they sat in the darkned room that echoed with the muffled tears and pain. But one day, he assured himself, he'd be able to comfort her. Because one day he'd make everything right again.
'It's delicious, Winry.

I just read this in the manga. I only glanced at the first frame on the page before I opened word.
