Forty-five: Awakening
At the ripe age of twenty-one, Roy Mustang didn't think he could be labelled as one of the innocents. He had worked hard for most of his life, he knew many things about how to be an adult that children did not, and he didn't have to be reminded by anyone to remember to bathe, eat in moderation or brush his hair. And that was what made him satisfied he was not longer an innocent little child.
Then there was the Ishbal rebellion, and Roy realised that he had been asleep all of this time not to realise the burden adults bore.
