"Master Hawkeye! Master Hawkeye! Is anyone else here? RIZA!"
When Riza Hawkeye first heard her father's student shouting, she dropped the plate she had been carrying, allowing it to smash on the floor, and ran to her father's study, where she knew he would be. She knew, somewhere in the back of her mind, that things were worse than she feared. Cool, suave Roy Mustang would not be shouting for her otherwise.
She flung open the door to her father's study and froze. She clutched the door frame, afraid she would collapse if she did not.
Her father was lying on the floor in a pool of his own blood.
Mr. Mustang was saying something about a doctor, but Riza knew well enough that no doctor could help him now.
One week later, they buried Berthold Hawkeye. There was no funeral, and the two teens sat together, thoughtful. It was there that Roy Mustang spoke of a better world, a better life, and a dream.
"That dream… can I entrust my back to it?"
