Brother...

I'm not "new", you know!


And I'm never leaving you again! If Econtra sends me away again, I'm taking you with me!

...uh, I mean- Well I suppose not if you've been here before, but...it's just so...confusing. I've met...so many Als since I first came here. It's hard to tell which Al is, well...mine.

Lt. Hawkeye did say there had been more than one of me... I'm sorry, Brother. I never wanted to leave you in the first place. we have the worst luck, huh?

It is me, Brother. The first one. As far as I know, there wasn't another me before me. If you know what I mean...

Ed..?!

Where've you been? Are you all right? Have you seen Al yet?

I know what you mean, though, about people disappearing.. But you've been here that long, and.. Well, I didn't know about that..

Yeah, it's me. I'm guessing you're the newer Winry? Looks like you showed up while I was gone. Have you seen your double yet?

Eh, who knows where I've been, actually. It's something that happens to me a lot -I disappear for a week or so, with no memories of where I've been. Once I even missed a whole month, apparently. But I usually come back without a scratch on me, so I guess I'm all right.

As for whether I've seen Al...well, let's just say yes and no. I've seen...a lot of Als since I first came here. I haven't yet seen the one who just returned arrived, though.

Yeah, there's people who disappear, like me, and then people who disappear, for good. All their belongings vanish, and if it weren't for the memories, it's like they were never here. I saw one guy like that who disappeared right before my eyes strange to think that the only other people who were there are gone now too.... But yeah, I've seen about three other Edward Elrics pass through this place, and countless Als.

You're only the second Winry I've heard from, though...

I heard there was another "me" around, but I haven't met her yet. I guess I am the newer one, though..

You keep coming and going? Is that normal for this place? If "normal" even exists here. Oh, I did meet the "new" Al. He even managed to transmute some steel for me.

I can't imagine what that's like, just watching people disappear. But it's good to see you, anyway...

Ah. Well, I'm sure you two will meet sooner or later; no doubt she's at least eager to meet another her.

Yeah, pretty normal, I guess. There are plenty of others that's happened to before. It's all very random though, and doesn't make much sense.

Ah, he did? Yeah, I had to help the other Winry with stuff like that too, especially when she had to make an automail leg for Al (uh. Not the one right now, one who's gone).

Yeah, good to see you too, Winry. By the way, mind telling me what the last thing you were doing before you got here was? I'm interested to see how alike you are to the Winry I know; your double is definitely not the same Winry from my world. I mean, she was dating Envy. Can you believe that? ...well, I don't know, you might be dating him too, I guess...

I finally found her, Ed. And we're hopefully going to meet sometime soon.

Yeah, you could say that again..

Haha, I don't know how it happened, but I'm going to try making a coffee machine. Oh, right.. Speaking of automail, does yours need any repairing?

Oh, umm.. I think you and Al and I were all in Central, and we just learned that Lt. Ross (I don't know if you remember her) was being framed.. for.. for murdering Lt. Colonel Hughes.

Ah, good to hear.

Nope, I should be good for awhile. The other Winry did some maintenance about a month ago.

...wait, what?!
