22. Chapter 22

Mustang,

How could you? How could you not tell me?

Hughes…fuck, he was such a good man. So kind and caring and helpful…and he was fucking murdered.

Why the hell would you hide that from me? We had to find out by accident, which by the way, fucking sucked. We were going to go visit him, you know; instead we got to visit his widow. Really, did you think you were doing me a favor? What reason could you possibly have for keeping something like that secret?

It makes me think I've been right to keep everything I'm learning from you.

Poor Gracia…hell, poor Elicia! I know what it's like to grow up without a father…at least Elicia will have the small comfort of knowing her dad was a great person. Still, though…such a sweet family didn't deserve to be torn apart.

You were close to Hughes, right? I hope you're helping take care of his wife and daughter.

-Ed
