Eight: Store-lined Streets
There wasn't a lot that Riza Hawkeye wanted out of life. Frankly, she would be content if she died in the line of duty, so long as she didn't fail her job by doing so. Her death would keep Roy Mustang alive, so long as he didn't stray from the path he had chosen to follow. She feared what she would have to do if he ever allowed himself to become corrupted.
Despite his lofty goals for the country, Roy Mustang quite similarly didn't want much for himself. He would be happy to live a simple life under a peaceful reign, but while the country readied itself for war – not so long after bandaging wounds from the last one – he would remain vigilant. All he asked was that she remained by his side.
When this was over, they wouldn't have to worry about "All they wanted in life," because they'd have it in each other. And they would walk together through a city blissfully ignorant of just how fragile were the lives of those walking the store-lined streets.
