    This scene (along with the "Its a terrible day for rain" scene) is actually a *very* significant display of their close relationship.
    You have to keep the circumstances at the time in mind: Roy's and the Elrics' plan to resist the plans of the upper military ranks, the homonculi and father have essentially been entirely compromised, everyone is scattered, and the key figures (roy and ed) are forced to hold still because both have hostages being held: Winry for Ed and Riza for Roy. The fact that Riza is the hostage for Roy already speaks volumes, but this call does even more so.
    Keep in mind what situation theyre in: Not only can they not work together anymore since Riza is no longer his subordinate, but they also can't even just casually hang out with one another anymore since that could escalate the situation. Subsequently, their contact has to be kept to an *absolute* minimum, only whenever REALLY necessary, so to exchange very vital information such as Selims true identity for example.
    In this scene though, Roy calls her for absolutely no reason. He has no particular question, nor any particular information to share. He calls her just for the sake of calling her, to check how shes doing given the dire situation. Now, asking "so have the bad guys been treating you badly?" would probably also be a bad idea on a phone thats probably being listened to by the enemy, so instead he masks it as a goofy drunk nonesense call. He really only wanted to give her some comfort with that, and what makes this scene even greater is rizas reaction. Even though he doesnt outright ask about her wellbeing, she *immediately* realizes hes worrying and recognizes his intent on checking if shes doing ok, and as soon as she doesnt reply with an equally goofy response, mustang immediately drops the facade because he instantly knows something is up. Riza obviously cant talk about it then and there, but after hanging up, you can clearly see that this one, very short, very unnecessary phone call with the boy roy himself single handedly lifted her up again. I mean just moments before she was on the verge of a mental breakdown, but now she's once again gained the strength to keep going.
    This emphasises their deep relationship really, really well. It's not annoiyng bullshit romance sprinkled in where it doesnt fit, its indirect and kind of between the lines, which is actually pretty good writing imo.

      ​@@theavatar9191 yes definitely, like after that crazy doc tried forcing him to do human transmutation and he literally didnt care about anything but her life, or even less subtle ones like before he kills lust when riza thinks hes dead. This one just really stood out to me even when i first watched it given the situation and the way he shows he cares and the way riza reacts

      @@r0guel1ke48 It's less a passion for this specific topic and more just the way I enjoy (good) anime; I tend to try and dive as deep as possible into the story, the writing, the characters and worldbuilding etc. and sort of get to the bottom of why certain aspects of a story are particularly interesting - good or bad. So whenever I come across an anime that is pretty good I go all out and analyze every little detail in my head. Not something I conciously do, it's just the way I watch stuff lmao. And sharing my findings with others is just a nice feeling as you can probably guess.

      @@nusaybahrahman5127 There were certain moments throughout the show that clearly indicated they had more than just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. It didn't need to explicitly say that they were together for the audience to understand that they *are* together.
      And I'm pretty sure that the true nature of their relationship is like an open secret in the story. Everyone knows--especially their close friends, of what they truly feel towards each other, but no one outright mentions it in public because of the anti-frat laws and the danger about the Homonculus and stuff. I'm not so sure but I think the author (or some guidebook) did confirm that they did get married in the future when Roy became Fuhrer.

    I love that stare at the end from Mustang. That stare says so much about the situation. He lost his subordinates. Riza is being held captive and possibly tortured, he’s stripped of his power (although maintains his rank to keep up with appearances) the battle is lost but also in his eyes you can see that the war is not yet over and he’s gonna make the homunculi pay. Love it! This show is perfect.
