"So, Al..." Winry forced a smile onto her face as she walked into Alphonse's room. Like his brother before him, Alphonse was recovering rapidly from the automail surgery, which was why Winry felt confident enough to ask questions. "...how are you feeling?"

"Um... okay, I guess." Alphonse offered a small smile. "Doesn't hurt so much anymore, so... maybe we could get the hand installed soon? I kind of want to be on my way again."

"Where would you be going?"

"Well... I want to go back with Roy again, for one thing, and maybe-"

"But why?" Winry knelt by Alphonse's bedside, concern in her eyes. "He hurt you, didn't he? He let you do all of this... and now you want to go back to him? Alphonse, he's the reason you lost your hand to begin with! Why would you want to go back to someone like him?"

"That's... no, he's not! He wanted to stop me, but I didn't let him! If anyone's to blame for this... it's me, all right?"

"Alphonse... I know that you want to defend him, but if you think about it-"

"...You're a mean person! How could you possibly say that about my lover?"
