What is this? [Mei pushed random buttons but eventually figures that it would be on] I never seen anything like this before…does Amestris even have technically like this?

But…we’re not in Amestris anymore…[There is a pause] Anyway, is anyone there? Where are we? And more importantly, has anyone seen a small panda named Xiao Mei around? If anyone has seen her, let her know that I want to see her now!

Adstringendum? Where is tha-

Hey, I know you! What are you doing here?

[She blinks a couple of times.]

I'm sorry, you must have me confused with someone else.

[And after Al tells her about the time paradoxes and everything...it still confuses her]

But aren't you friends with Edward and Alphonse?

I am.

[She shakes her head.]

This is confusing. Perhaps you know me from my future. When people come here, they don't always come from the same time as everyone else.

Then...can I ask what was the last thing you remember?

[What can she tell this girl? Riza doesn't know what she knows and she doesn't want to scare her with any of the information she does have.]

...I was underground and had just seen a Homunculus end its life.

Then that means-!

[....Well...this is really awkward]

Um...I think you'll know me in the future.

May I ask your name?

[And she nods]

I am Mei Chang, it is nice to meet you....again. [Personally, she is just happy that she's alright! Even if...the setting is horrible]

[Mei Chang...that is not an Amestrian name. And neither does she look particularly Amestrian...]

It's good to meet you, too, Miss Chang. Forgive me if I'm wrong, but are you from Xing?

That's right, I am! Along with...the Yao clan.

Yes, I am already acquainted with them.

Then...[Ahhh, she hates them so much and yet...

Have some mumbling coming from Mei's end!]

...I'm sorry?

Huh?

Oh, I'm the one who should be sorry! ...I really shouldn't be talking to myself like that especially in front of other people. It's rude.

It's all right.

Has anyone else given you an explanation of this place?

...I think I understand it but...where is Adstringendum? I know that it's a place where time is different but...

It's...a completely new world. I'll send along an attachment that may make things a little easier for you to understand, at least better than I can explain it.

[And she sends a post to Mei.]

[Just have...stunned silence coming from Mei...]

[Riza waits, letting the girl take her time.]

[This is...like Mei's worst nightmare come true!]

It isn't easy to take in. I apologize.

...

At least now I know what the Animus is...they're much less scarier now I know where they come from!

But I still have to at least try to stop them...

I wouldn't suggest that, Miss Mei. There have been attempts to stop them before and people have died. It isn't a good idea, at all.

But I still have to try something!
