Mayu sighed as she stared at a photo silently, getting rid of her auto-mail had been apart of the process to free herself from the past, it was one of the things that kept her bound to her old life, her old self.

She was aware she was supposed to be asleep like the others but all those memories made it hard to sleep, she still had things binding her to the life she once had, and one of those things was the memories she made.

The green haired female didn't move her hair when it fell in her face as she felt the tears begin , she tried so hard to hold them back but she couldn't not with the fact she had so easily let go of a very important part of her, the auto-mail she got from her best female friend, the auto-mail she got to replace the limbs she lost.

The female hadn't been aware the fact the her cell mates had begun to awake and they were silently wondering why she was awake as well , but she didn't seem to realize them staring at her, "Ed, Al, Winery I'm sorry" they heard her whisper softly and they took notice of the photo in her hands , they wondered why she was sorry .

They watched as tears began to fall and hit the picture, "I miss you guy's so much, Winery I miss the fact you used to always yell at me and Ed when we broke our auto-mail , I miss Al and the fact how worried he'd get about us, Most of all I hate to admit it but I miss Ed the most" the green haired female smiled sadly, "I miss how angry he'd get when I teased him about his height, I missed the stupid fights me and him got into, I miss the fact I'd point out that I was taller than him and he's only 15, I also miss Armstrong and the fact he would always yell about stuff that didn't really matter", the males in the cell felt bad for ease dropping but they couldn't got to sleep, before she could continue she heard a sneeze and froze realizing she wasn't the only one awake and turned to see the others awake and sitting up staring at her, "How long have you been awake?"

"Long enough to hear almost everything you said" Rock told the female as he got up and made his way toward the girl, he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, and they were right she had been crying, he looked at the picture in her hands and took notice of how old it looked, the picture had two young blonde boys, a blonde girl, and a younger version of Mayu, who somehow looked like a girl version of Upa when she was younger, he blinked noticing that she had short teal/green hair and had on shorts and a white shirt.

"Mayu Chan you look like Master when you were younger" Nico said as he looked over their shoulders to look at the photo, she was a cute kid and kinda pale , she was still pale today like Upa, the others had been taking in how similar the two were, very similar.

"I look nothing like that kid, wait no I see it now, man that's creepy" Mayu said now noticing it the fact her hair used to be the same style as the boys, that was till someone had said she looked better with longer hair, "Al wanted me to grow my hair out for some reason, never really understood why he said I might look better with it, and Ed stated long hair wouldn't make others mistake me as a boy".

"You speak highly of these boys, you have a crush on them or something?" Uno asked bitterly, he had no clue to why his heart hurt each time she mentioned those boys, and he was waiting to be ignored but was surprised when she didn't ignore his question.

"Edward and Alphonse Elric are like little brothers to me, their mother Trisha took me in when I was younger, she found me at Six years old with Amnesia , no clue of anything but my name and my age" Mayu told them with a sad smile, "No one knows where I came from but they didn't seem to mind much and I grew up with them".

"Well that's kinda sad" Rock sighed, as he pulled her closer and the others decided to join the hug , it was a bit odd but he had decided to tell her something "Don't bottle your feelings up".

Mayu smiled seeing they cared for her, she had wanted to keep her past a secret a bit longer but they didn't know the full story, neither would she being telling them any time soon, but for now she'd enjoy the warmth of the hug, and the fact she had been able to make Uno Jealous , and she had decided to take Rock's advice and they were not shocked when she had allowed the tears to fall.

The next day Hajime had found his inmates laying close together against a wall, number 69 had his arms around number 17, number 11 was laying on her left hugging her arm, number 25 was giggling in his sleep as he was across their legs and number 15 was surprisingly with them as he had his head on number 11's shoulder, he wondered if he should wake them now , he was normally rude but this scene was not someone saw all the time, for the cell mates seemed like a family.
