Really cute shit right here

Ed: The military isn't very trustworthy. Viola: ...My family became a sacrifice for the military. Winry: Lute-san and Fagott-san too... Viola: ...I understand how Lila could forgive Lute... Winry: Being able to think like that means... You've grown up, Viola. Viola: Don't tease your seniors! ... Viola: It's time to return to Nelvo. Winry: Can I visit you for fun next time? Viola: Of course! I''ll come see you in Resembool too! Winry: Sure! Al: We'll visit you too if we're nearby. Viola: Yeah! The village doesn't have much but you're welcome. Ed: Oh, then maybe I could have a new person maintain my automail ...instead of a certain someone. Winry: Hey, Ed... You not satisfied with my maintenance? Ed: Ju- Just kidding! Viola: Hahaha! I'd be mad to take on one of Winry's customers! Winry: .... Viola: Winry, you crying? Winry: I'm not. ...We'll be able to see each other again soon. We will, won't we? Viola: Yeah. We're alive, after all. We can see each other anytime. Winry: Eheheheh, you're right. It's a promise. We'll have an Automail meeting. Viola: Yeah, and we'll talk all night. Ed, the military has a dark side but, have confidence in yourself and what you're doing. Ed: I'm a dog of the military. Winry: What are you talking about. You guys have a goal! You guys need to relax once in a while. Viola: It's just as Winry says. Well, I'm off. .... Ed: Well... Lets go home too. Al: Yeah, to Resembool Winry: You can relax there for a little longer this time right? Ed: Hmmmm, how can we relax... If there's such a noisy girl there... Winry: What's that supposed to mean! Ed: O- Oh no! That just...slipped out... Winry; What?! Al: Awawawa, stop it you two. We're in the streets~ Winry: Hold it, Ed~! Al: Haaa... Brother. I wonder if you'll make it back to Resembool safely...

Only two more posts after this- After the group wins against Viola's sister's weird boyfriend

Mustang: Now the serial bombings are finally resolved. It's thanks to everyone. Especially the civilians who helped to solve the case. Winry Rockbell and Viola Amore, I thank you. Winry: Colonel Mustang. I wasn't helping the military. I was helping Ed and Al. Viola: I'm the same as Winry. I wasn't working for the military. I was working for myself. Mustang: I see... Then you have no need for an award from the army? Viola: It's just a scrap of paper. I don't need such a thing. Right, Winry? Winry: Ahahaha. You're right! We'd only want it if it was something useful to Automail Engineers. Mustang: ...Unfortunately, we don't have anything like that

Basically Viola has a missing sister and then it turns out she was almost killed in military experiments or something and her boyfriend turned her into chimera to let her live (?) and now he wanted to use the entire  military as a sacrifice to fix her though he also attacked an innocent village too as Viola points out, Lila dies and now he wants to destroy the military in revenge i'll admit i skimmed the plot stuff it's all basic soap opera shit I'm here for Winry and her automail mechanic girlfriend so let's get to that.

Armstong: It will involve the innocent civilians! Al: We... We can't let you do such a thing! Hawkeye: To protect those precious to us! Winry: .... Yes, to protect those precious to us... Lute-san, I'm sure you felt the same too at the start... Even I was like that... Al... Ed... I wanted to help the ones precious to me... I wanted to protect the ones precious to me... Even though your ways are wrong... Our starting point was the same... You can't have always been a bad person! If Lila loved you that much! Remember... Remember who you really are... Those memories of happiness with Lila... Remember them!

She almost gets through to him but not quite! Winry's so precious, echoing Riza too awww.

Lute: I've become one with Lila. You think you can win! Viola: I told you! Lila is gone! Ed: Take it easy on him. That's also Lila's wish. Winry: Yes... We will... Fulfill our promise with Lila!

So basically Viola charges back into battle:

Ed: Damn it, it's strong! At this rate... Wh- What the! ?: So weak! You guys really are useless without me! Winry: Viola! Armstrong: Viola-dono!

and saves the day with some stuff she bought. Turns out Riza and Roy got ahold of some lady to heal her. Winry is so happy they helped Viola she enthusiastically thanks them before Vi even gets a chance. WOW THEY ARE TOTAL GIRLFRIENDS.

Viola: She said she was asked my Colonel Mustang. Ed: The colonel? Mustang: ...Wh- What? It was First Lieutenant Hawkeye's idea. I just let her use my name. Ed: Heh, I thought so. It's just not like the colonel to do such things. Mustang: Grr, I can't ignore that one Fullmetal! Hawkeye: In any case, it's good that you made it. Winry: Colonel Mustang, Riza-san! Thank you very much! Viola: Hey, Winry! Why are you saying thanks before me! Winry: Because... I'm so happy!

Winry's expressions during the "Panthress of Resembool" exchange are the actual cutest shit

Viola: It's OK, take [the tool] I want you to use it. Winry: OK, thanks. I'll use it carefully! Viola: If you use that tool badly, I won't give you it to you for free! Winry: Use it badly you say! Who do you think I am! I'm Winry Rockbell, and I have the blood of the Pantheress of Resembool running through my veins! I won't use it badly! Or so I say! Eheheh... Viola: Hahaha! Then I don't have to worry! Go!

This exchange is golden.

Viola: ...I understand. First we'll sort out what's before us. Just like Winry... I don't want to let people be victimized and cultivate hatred because of it. We'll deal with Fagott afterwards. After that... Mustang: What? Viola:I said bad things about you once but I take it back. Mustang: Oh? What's this about? Viola: You have a warm heart but you just don't show it to people, do you? Hawkeye: !! Mustang: !! Ed: Hey, Viola! Hurry up! You'll get left behind! Viola: OK, coming! ...Yes. You can just call me Viola. Don't use "-san" with me. Mustang: I understand. She says some interesting things that, young lady. Hawkeye: It seems she has an eye for people... Mustang: Hmmm, looks like I'm not complete trash! Hawkeye: Colonel, please use that warm heart of yours to sign these documents. Mustang: All- All of these?! Hawkeye: Of course. Why would you leave any out? Mustang: ....

Winry and Viola have an ~intense~ exchange. Basically Viola wants to go after the dude she thinks killed her parents alone to kill him.

It's delivered a lot more clumsily than the manga (where Winry admits forgiveness is not possible for her, but she's going to end the cycle anyway) but it's surprising how prescient it is of the philosophy Winry ends up having in the manga.

And yes, that dude's name is very unfortunate.

Viola: Winry... I'm going. Winry: What are you going to do going alone! Viola: I'm taking my revenge on Fagott! I must! Winry: ....Viola. I'll tell you the reason why I'm fighting the Reperarey... Viola: What are you talking about. That has nothing to do with me! Winry: ...That may be. But, I want you to hear it. Viola: Winry... ....OK. I'll hear it. Winry: Thanks, Viola. ...There is only one reason why I'm fighting... So that there won't be anyone who'll have sad memories because of the bombing incidents... That's it. Viola: Just... that? Winry: Yes... What's driving them is revenge, isn't it? They're hurting people out of revenge. I was thinking hatred is born from the hearts of people that are hurt... Viola: ...And? Winry: I think your feelings are the same as the Reperarey at the moment... They have hatred towards the military that the You have hatred towards Fagott-san... I'm sure sad things will be done because of that hatred... Viola:Now that you've told me that... What am I supposed to do about my feelings?! Winry: Viola... Maybe just forgive him. Viola: What?! Winry: Doing that will free your heart from hatred... You'll break the chain of hatred! Viola:I... I'm not the sort of person who can do that... That's why I'm going! Winry: Viola, you can't go! Please... Viola: You guys! Damn! Winry, lets fight! You alright?! Winry: Ye- Yeah! They might know where Fagott-san is!
