a nicely done portrayal of a heavy, emotional catharsis of riza and having it addressed in a natural and thoughtful way. well damn, that was such a vivid imagery of riza's struggle. I felt her emotion, the intensity in every movement and verbs you chose to convey her torture and when she got cut and wow, I felt everythin. the next day's events having her internal guilt over her recklessness and own doubt coincide with Mustang affirming her opinion as valuable really does show their relationship and even further, his professional defense when he saw her mishandled which characterizes Roy's attitude towards those he trusts pretty canonically and well. and then in the closet, i love love love the empathy, the understanding you convey effectively through that hug and his dialogue where he doesn't lecture or judge, he simply reaffirms his care and trust for her. It was very *them* as well as the right way for him to go about things. happy writing with all else you tackle!
