Winry walked with Riza through the hospital lobby. They dragged Alphonse along with them for fear that the suite of armor would some how escape HQ if left alone, and also because at this point, Winry was the only one able to control him. All three of them stood at the front desk. A secretary looked up at them. She eyed them a moment before saying anything as if she was trying to read there cause for being there.

"Visitors?"

Riza nodded.

"To whom?"

"Patient Edward Elric."

"Alright, just a moment." The receptionist mumbled.

She rummaged through the files and found Edward's file. She was about to turn around and ask them of there relation with him, when she saw the entire amount of guest slips in his file. Sighing she turned around.

"Room 211."

Riza blinked expecting some sort of paperwork.

"He's in room 211"

"T-Thank you" she stuttered and began to head to the room directed. Winry and the suite or armor, Alphonse followed closely behind.

"She was awfully nice." Winry spoke to Riza.

Riza nodded in agreement. Al stayed silent.

The trio finally reached the room after back tracking there steps several times. Winry pointed to a chair next to the rooms entrance and ordered Alphonse to stay. He did as commanded, the creaking of his armor heard as he sat. Winry flinched from the sound and Riza looked around, obviously displeased. 'Maybe she was looking for Roy?' Winry thought.

Looking up at the door she knocked quietly before entering. She hadn't expected a response and wasn't surprised when she didn't. Walking in the room she squinted through the darkness trying to look around and in any case see where she was going with out tripping and breaking her neck. Riza followed in quietly and looked around in the darkness of the room.

Winry walked aimlessly foreword for a while cursing as she stubbed her toe. She looked for some sort of light switch or blind.

"Edward?" she whispered quietly and continued to search the room for something to give light to see. Riza stayed in the door way area of the room and held the door open for the little light that managed to trickle in.

"Winnnn…?" a response that made Winry freeze where she stood sounded out.

The response was alien, and she did not expect that any response would sound like that. She took a step foreword and tripped over a string that caught her leg and made her fall foreword. She screamed aloud and Riza alerted.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Winry called out. "Just tripped, I'm fine!" she didn't want to worry anyone.

"Beee carefullll…" the alien voice of Edward sounded out again. Winry shook herself and stood up finding the string to be attached to the window as a set of shades.

"I'm going to open the shades to this window now, alright?"

"Alright." Riza responded. The alien voice did not respond.

Winry pulled the string hard as the shades lifted and revealed sunlight that flowed in freely. The light illuminated everything.

Riza looked around and shrugged, expecting to see Roy in the room. Winry's eyes slowly adjusted as she looked around. They stopped on a figure that sat up in a bed. Than widened in shock.

"Edward?" she said starring at him. It looked as if the boy had not slept in days. His skin was pale again and a solemn expression plastered on his face. His eyes were distant.

Riza took advantage of the sudden seen and excused herself to go and find Roy, who she distinctly assumed was at the cafeteria.

Winry stumbled foreword after the door shut. She sat on the side of the bed looking at Edward.

"Are you alright?"

No response came.

"I heard you speaking earlier. So why won't you say anything now?"

Edward's head seemed to sink lower and he looked as if he was drawing back into himself. He was silent for a while before speaking.

"…she…she's dead Winry…" his voice was now less alien, but still hoarse as if he had been. Crying?

" have you been crying?" Winry asked in almost utter amazement. Edward said nothing in reply. He just looked away and closed his eyes as if fighting some sort of pain. Winry shut her mouth and fell silent for a while.

Edward's chest wretched as his heart ached with the pain that he endured. He had to tell Winry, he told himself. He couldn't let her find out on her own. His head lifted again and he strained to make a weak but fake smile.

"Something really bad has happened Winry."

Winry Froze. She hoped and prayed to god that he wasn't going to tell her that he couldn't be by her side anymore. That he was wasting away. Edward closed his eyes feeling them tear up and regained his composure. He spoke slowly.

"A-Aunt Pinako.."

Winry's breath froze as she finally realized what had happened.

"I-Is g-gone…"

There, he said it, and with the words his head fell again. He felt miserable as he heard Winry's quivering voice.

"W-what do you mean?"

Edward was annoyed at the question and angrily lashed out.

"SHE'S DEAD WINRY! GONE! WE'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN!"

Winry chocked on her sobs as her expression grew hurt. Edward was going to scream out again until he saw Winry's expression and melted into himself.

"I'm…sorry Winry."

She looked at him with hurt and sorrow.

"WELL I'M NOT! YOU KNOW WHAT? SOMETIMES I WISH ALPHONSE HAD JUST KILLED YOU! THAN I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS!"

Winry walked out of the room slamming the door shut with a loud noise. She ran down the hall in temper. She would wait in the car until Riza was finished with whatever she was off doing. It didn't occur to her that she had forgotten Al until after she walked out of the hospital. She sighed knowing that she couldn't leave him, and walked back up towards the room.

Edward took the abusive words with full resentment. He was tired of it all. He was tired of his attacks, the pain in fearing his own brother, he had tried to converse with the suite of armor, but every time he tried he could see the armor attacking him, even if he wasn't really moving. He hated the pain of knowing death and people suffer. It was to much for him.

Edward stood up out of the bed. He looked at the slammed shut door. Looking away from it he glanced around the room. He ripped the IV from his arm and flinched as he did so, but it was his only way to become undetected. They had put a sensor on the IV pole from his last event. He pulled the sheets off the bed and began to tie them in a series of knots. He tied one side of the bed sheet to a hook that had once held the radio. He used a chair to reach it, than climbed down to look around. His arm dripped blood from his wound. He would not miss this place, he thought foolishly as he looked around the hospital room. 'Havoc's cigarettes would really come in handy now' he thought almost humorously as he climbed back up the chair. The deranged laugh of the thought let out and he pulled the sheet he had made into rope. He saw everything was set and placed the noose through his head sop that it wrapped snuggly around his neck. 'If it didn't break his neck from the impact, he could always think about his life while leaving… or not.'

Edward kicked the chair out from underneath him and gasped as the rope of sheet around his neck tightened and he hung aimlessly. It was than that he heard a shriek of terror from a familiar voice, and than all went dark.
