[Winry doesn't sound like herself, if you know her. She sounds...angry.]

My name is Winry Rockbell. I have been infected with the Flare. My healing power isn't working against it. I need to get to the quarantined area.

[There's a crashing sound. Like a wrench cracking against a piece of metal.]

If you're not immune, don't come near me.

[private to Edward Elric]

You'd better take care of Zoey for me.

[His place should be with her - and would be if she wasn't sick.]

And your reminders are making it worse. Pretend like you might care for him and treat him like someone who's desperately worried about someone he cares about. He's not leaving the quarantine area. I've asked him to stay there. He can't help me, but you should at least try to help him.

[There's a part of him--somewhere in the back of his mind--that tells him to let it be. That it's the virus that might be prompting this reaction, that she's just extremely concerned, and rightfully so, about someone she cares deeply about, as he is with the Lieutenant.

Yet when Roy speaks again, his tone is a little shorter, his words a little clipped.]

If you think any of my comments were for show, or were said without any concern for his safety or a desire to help him, then you're sorely mistaken.

However, in this situation, there is little that we can do to help those who are infected. To think otherwise, would be foolish. Right now, the best that we can personally do is to ensure that those who are unaffected remain that way. Even if the worst should happen, even if those we care most about are on the other side, no matter how worried we may be for them, we must continue to do what little we can. Dwelling on our concerns will only immobilize us.

[Winry's eyebrow twitches. It sounds like he's paying no attention to what she's saying. Just like how he was speaking to Ed. Brush off those concerns.

She growls.]

You could tell him 'I'm sorry'. Two words, Mr. Mustang. Or is that too difficult for you?
