Weiss's room, Schnee Manor, Atlas, 1:00 pm
Weiss was sitting on her bed. After the night party she was under house arrest and couldn't leave her room, so the only thing she could... was to wait. Suddenly the door opened as Jacques Schnee entered.
Jacques: Do you have any idea what your stunt cost us? And don't think I just mean lein. Our reputation! Our... our...
Wiess: I want to leave.
Jacques: I beg your pardon?
Weiss: I said I want to leave. I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't want to stay in Atlas anymore.
Jacques: Young lady, I don't give a damn about what you want! This isn't about you. This is about the Schnee family name and your apparent insistence on dragging it through the mud! We are Templars. We are supposed to be the ones who bring the society together!
Weiss: The Templar title means nothing. I have done nothing but fight for piece and to uphold the honour of my family name, a name that you married into!
Jacques slapped her on the side of her cheek, making Weiss's head tilt a little. She starred back at her father with shock on her face.
Jacques: This behavior of yours is incredibly disappointing. You couldn't possibly understand the lengths I've gone to in order to keep this family where it is. You think running off like your sister is going to make the Schnee name stronger? You're wrong. Siding with her only divides us.
Weiss: I'm not siding with anyone. I'm doing what I feel is right, and that does not include wasting my time up here with these clueless people in Atlas. The Schnee family legacy isn't yours to leave. It's mine, and I'll do it as a huntress.
Jacques: No... you won't. You're not leaving Atlas. You're not to leave the manor grounds unless I specifically allow it. You are going to remain here, out of sight and out of trouble, until you and I come to an agreement on your future.
Weiss: What?!
Jacques: Your presupposition that you can simply have whatever it is you want is a clear sign of our failure as parents. But from now on, I'll be giving you the full attention you require, starting by keeping you where I can see you.
Jacques started to walk towards the door.
Weiss: You can't just keep me from leaving!
Jacques: I can, and the staff here will make sure of it.
Weiss: So now I'm just your prisoner?!
Jacques: You are my daughter. You're a child, and children are grounded when they misbehave.
Weiss: This is only going to make things worse, Father. People will ask questions! They'll want to know why the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company is suddenly nowhere to be found!
Jaques: Which is why you are no longer the heiress to the Schnee Dust Company.
Weiss: Excuse me?
Jacques: Clearly, the trauma you endured at the fall of Beacon. was too much for you. Which is why you've generously revoked your claim to the company and its earnings and passed it on to your brother Whitley. It's time to wake up and face reality.
He left the room. Weiss took a moment to realise what just happened, before storming out of her room into the corridor to see her brother slowly walking down the hallway.
Weiss: Whitley?!
Whitley: Yes, sister?
Weiss: Did you know about this?
