Full Metal Alchemist: Visting a Old Friend

that day i heard your little girl Elysia say..

Mommy, how come? Why are they burying Daddy? Who are those people? Why are they burying him, why? They can't! I don't like it! Daddy said he had lots of work to do and if they bury him, he can't do it when he wakes up! Stop them, mommy! Daddy has to do his work, he told me! Why are they burying Daddy, Mommy? Why? ...Daddy, wake up!'

that pierced me a lot..

Maes Hughes - Killed in Action, and promoted two ranks for it. Brigadier General Hughes. You're the guy who was going to work below me and push me to the top. Then you get yourself killed and pass me in the ranks. I don't know what's more absurd - you or the State.
