3rd POV.
Mistral, Haven Academy.
A couple of weeks later.

Oscar sits on a red chair, nervously looking at Team RNJR who fawn over him.

Nora: "Did he age backwards?"

Jaune: "He's possessed!"

Ren: "Or reincarnated!"

Ruby: "Oh! Isn't it weird?"

Oscar: "It's very weird."

Qrow: "Okay, okay. Let's take a moment and remember that this is very overwhelming for everyone."

He says emerging from the kitchen with a cup of coffee in his hand, team RNJR step back and awkwardly laugh it off.

Oscar: "Thanks."

Looking to Qrow, as he takes a seat on the couch next to Oscar. Ruby and Nora sit as well, while Jaune and Ren remain standing. Oscar shares a brief look with Ruby, who giggles, causing Oscar to blush and quickly look away.

Oscar: "Ah, sorry! It's just I've never really met any Huntsmen and Huntresses before.

Ruby: "Well, uh... you're the second person we've met that has two souls."

Ruby smiles, trying to lighten the mood as Oscar stares at them confused by what she meant.

Oscar: "Who was the first?"

Jaune: "It was our friend (Y/n), he had something similar going on with him."

Oscar: "You mean he hears a voice inside his head?"

Ruby: "Yup, (Y/n) used to call his voice Jack. He could split from him anytime he wanted and I suppose he would've been considered a friend."

Oscar smiles at Ruby as Qrow clears his throat.

Qrow: "Not to break up the whole getting to know you game, but we need to have a talk. Mind showing us your parlor trick, kid?"

Oscar:*Groans* "Yeah, okay. Just so you know, I'll still be here."

The members of team RNJR look at him in confusion. Oscar then lowers his head and closes his eyes. Suddenly, a green and white Aura shines from his body for a moment, Oscar opens up his eyes, which are now glowing a bright yellow, and smiles at the group. When he speaks, they all hear a familiar voice overlapping with a bunch of other voices, including Oscar's.

Ozpin: "It is so very good to see you again, students."

The group steps back and share a look of confusion.

Jaune: "Wait, what just happened?"

Ruby: "Professor... Ozpin?"

Ozpin: "Correct. And though I may be the one speaking, Oscar is still present mentally. He's merely handed over the control, so to speak."

Oscar:*Mentally* 'Just don't make us do anything embarrassing.'

Ozpin: "I'm afraid this must all be perplexing."

Nora: "And alarming, and bizarre, and just really kind of hard to believe overall!"

Ozpin: "It's good to see you children haven't lost your sense of humor."

Chuckling at Nora, before frowning and looking at the four."

Ozpin: "I know, you've all been through tremendous hardship already. I'm sorry."

Ruby: "I mean, it's not your fault."

Ozpin: "It's all my fault."

Qrow stands up and walks into the kitchen, as Ozpin continues to speak.
