Frozen Memories
He promised to work under me, to help me, to always be there for me. And the damn idiot had to go and get himself shot.
Maes.... why? Why did you have to help them? Why did you have to leave me? Maes... my love... why? Why did you have to die?!
I slammed my fist against the desk in frustration, tears flowing freely from my eyes.
It wasn't fair! It just wasn't fair! Why did someone as good as him have to die?!

Was it really him in that coffin, so cold, so still? How could that be my best friend? The man I loved?
Yes. Yes. Always yes. No matter how many times I imagined it was someone else, I always knew, in my heart, it was him.
I glanced out the window. It had grown dark, as I sat here thinking about him, remembering. I hadn't gotten much work done today, as usual. I had hardly done anything since the funeral but think of him. Riza would yell at me again, no doubt. But I didn't care. Nothing seemed to matter anymore.
Maes… my love…
