[ Diana watches and listens to him, sighing a bit. Deep down, she knows that he has enough tenacity to fight through the hardest battle imaginable and yet, to see him be scared, frightened, and unsure of what to do hurts her inside. But, it's her time to be strong for him. She wants him to be as happy as he made her.
It takes her a bit, but she grabs his hands into her own and holds them tightly. Through all the things she's experienced so far, it's time to let him know what sort of a person he is. ]
There's no need to be scared, okay? I'm here, your mother's here - everyone that has made a positive impact on your life is here and right behind you every step of the way. Yeah, from here on out, things are going to get tougher, but... you don't have to let Mayfield win. If you let them win, then what does that say? It says you've given up.
And, frankly, the Edward Elric I know never gives up if he can help it.
You don't need to go about this alone, all right? We're all here for you to be your emotional crutch, your shoulder to cry on - anything. I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we just want you to be you and be happy. I know. Your wounds have been ripped open again, but now... now you can take the time and heal and start to just be the best Edward Elric you can be.
[ She lifts her head so that he can see that she's smiling. There's a few tears pricking at the corners of her eyes, but like hell is she going to let them fall now. All she wants is to see him be the confident person she knows he can be. That's it. ]
But, do know this. No one is going to leave you. Not when you have people who can help prevent things from happening.
[ A pause before she shakes her head. ]
Like me. I want to see you happy and I'll join in with making sure you can have the best time of your life with your mother. We'll work on it together, okay?
