Summary
The bed looks warm and inviting, but he’s more concerned about how empty it looks against the elegant decor of the room. He turns on his heel and catches the light from the bathroom. He can’t wait any longer, he’s drawn to the light like a moth, desperate to get a glimpse of her before exhaustion renders him down.
Riza is leaning over the bathroom counter with her hair down, curling over her shoulders, blocking out the logo on his old t-shirt. She’s wearing his academy shirt, the one that’s faded from too many years of cheap detergent. She is stunning, even in the poor lighting; she is the only thing worth looking at.

Summary
He runs Amestris without her, though the pressure and stress is worse than ever. Without her advisings, the world feels heavy and unjust, like a puzzle with no correct pieces. Roy’s head can’t wrap around the loss, he feels a piece of him is buried in the ground alongside Riza’s hope. They go on like this for another six weeks. Dodging glances and fleeting touches, she kisses his cheek before work and once again before bed, everything is light and delicate. The air around them is frail and he’s worried with one wrong snap of his fingers he will burn what little good he has left in the world.
Roy gives her space.
