klainelynch: There was always a point in a build when everything slowed, slowed, and suddenly Winry

klainelynch:

There was always a point in a build when everything slowed, slowed, and suddenly Winry could see all of it: how gears and muscles fit together; solutions to problems that had plagued her for days; the future this customer would have, and the pride of knowing that she would be the one to accompany them to that better place.

Time slowed, and it showed her exactly who she needed to be.

.

Train tracks, not her studio.

Farewells, not creation.

And yet—

time slowed, and as the train carried her heart away, she knew exactly where she was meant to be.
