Akari: *Akari makes sure Ed keeps burning at looks at Roy* Dad...you should have respected his wishes...he really was going to end it all...this is a much cleaner way.
Roy Mustang: *STOPS HER AND PUT HIM OUT TO KEEP HIM ALIVE* AKARI NO DONT DO THE SAME THING I DID WHEN MY BEST FRIEND THAT I LOVED LIKE A BROTHER KILLED MY MOTHER AND FATHER
Akari: *Akari glares at him* I know exactly what I'm doing. *snaps again, sending Ed back into flames, making he quickly turn into a pile of ash with 2 auto mail parts on top*
Roy Mustang: KARI THERE IS ONE REASON WHY YOUR MOTHER DIED AND IT WASNT HIM THAT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO TELL HIM...
Akari: yes it was. He told me what she said. He hit her major organs with his attack...MOM TOLD HIM HERSELF BEFORE SHE DIED
Roy Mustang: THAT IS NOT TRUE AKARI OK THAT NOT TURE HE NEVER DID! YOUR MOM WAS VERY SICK! SHE HID IT FROM YOU AND YOUR BROTHER MORE IMPORTANTLY SHE HID IT FROM ME TIL THE DAY SHE LEFT ON THAT MISSION
Akari: ED WAS STILL GONNA BE EATING HIS HEART OUT EVEN IF YOU TOLD HIM!! WHY MAKE HIM KEEP SUFFERING WHEN HE REGRETS IT SO MUCH!! YOU THINK HE WAS CRUEL FOR FIGHTING MOM, WHAT ABOUT YOU FOR MAKING A BOY KEEP SUFFERING LIKE THAT!!!! *turns and runs back to the house*
Roy Mustang: AKARI WAIT
Akari: *runs into the house and finds Al and hugs him* I'm sorry...
Roy Mustang: *walks to the house Hohenheim can I talk to you out side?
Hohenheim: * follows him out* what is it Roy?
Roy Mustang: hohenheim Akari burned Ed
Hohenheim: *looks around and sees the pile* I see....I know we were going to tell him...But maybe this is for the best...I don't think he would forgive himself.
Roy Mustang: Astraia never died because of him
Akari: *keeps hugging Al* I'm sorry...I'm sorry.
Alphones Elric: what wrong Akari?
Hohenheim: * nods* I know that...Ed still won't believe it I'm sure. Not after all this time.
Akari: *hugs him tighter* Ed...He wanted to die....I helped
Alphones Elric: *hugs Akari* it is ok
Akari: *Smiles at him* I knew you would understand
Alphones Elric: *keeps hugging her* you know he was very happy when he heard you passed your state alchemist exam
Akari: Thank you Al. It's good to know that...I wouldn't have been able to if it wasn't for him.
