The shadow...was right.
I don't have the right to complain. I have gotten complacent. But I am still strong enough to endure it.
...It's odd- perhaps I ought to be thanking the City for reminding me of what I need to be prepared to face. What I've already faced. If I meet Pride again, he probably will kill me -- or at the very least, he won't be so easily dissuaded. I was a hostage then, and I won't be anymore. In the spring, I'll have to move. We'll all have to move.
Allies leaving-- that will always sting. Havoc did the same thing, left the military and us. But he'll catch up, like Colonel Mustang challenged him to. He will. Allies threatened and harmed-- that will always be a challenge to protect them better. The Colonel won't let any of us die- I need to be the same kind of leader.
I need to be prepared. I need to be the best soldier I can be, the most reliable, the most steadfast. I need to stand on my own, and not rely on anyone else to pull me out of bad situations. I need to live up to the name they gave me. Both my tools and myself need to be perfect.
Don't you dare move without me, Colonel.

My apologies to those I spoke to during the last few curse days. Apparently my luck for not being cursed ran out.
There seems to have been a rash of misplacements today.
