⚠️ T/W: Attempted suicide ⚠️

A couple of weeks passed, and Kiko's wound was finally beginning to heal. The faunus was currently walking around the ship with Stella, talking loudly.

"I have a job in Security, wanna come?" Stella asks. Kiko gives an eager nod, before they go down the hall passing Medbay, towards security.

Once in Security, Kiko sat in the swivel chair and spun around, whilst Stella fixed the wires. "Hey Stell.. are we closer to finding any solution to... everything?" Kiko asked, as the chair stopped spinning.

Stella shook her head. "Jaune and I have barely slept these past couple of weeks, as we've been trying to figure out any sort of solution.. so far we're no closer than we were two weeks ago." The Valentine sighed, disappointedly.

Kiko frowned, "If Adam was correct, we are all going to run out of food, water and fuel soon." She stated, as Stella was well aware of this. "I know.." She said sadly.

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Pyrrha and Nora we're making a coffee for Jaune, as he'd been busily working away in Navigation, trying to come up with anything.

Pyrrha knew her girlfriend was absolutely pumped with caffeine, but Jaune on the other hand, was not.

Jasper watched them, as Nora grabbed a jar of sugar. "What are you doing?" He asks, as Nora placed a couple spoonfuls of sugar into the mug of coffee. "Making Jaune coffee." The Valkyrie answered as she was about to put another spoonful of sugar into the mug.

"...Are you planning on giving him a heart attack?" Jasper asked nervously as Nora realised she was probably overdoing it with the sugar, and tipped it from the spoon, back into the jar.

"We're going to go to Navigation, want to come?" Pyrrha asked as Jasper nodded, "Sure."

Jaune watched as Jenni closed the panel, before turning to face him. "There we go, all fixed!" She said, clapping her hands together. "Thanks Jenni." Jaune gave a smile.

The wolf faunus glanced at a small box, obviously containing a ring, before she held it up. "Who is this for?" She asked. Jaune noticed the family box and bit his lip. "Nova."

"You're going to propose to Nova!?" The Opal blurted. "What? No! Leon was going to." Jaune admitted as Jenni laughed before nodding, as that made more sense.

"You should give it to Nova.. I'm sure he would love to hold onto what he can of Leon." Jenni insisted, before her eyes met Jaune's again. Jaune nodded, "Yeah... I just... I know it's going to make him upset. What Nova and Leon had was special... people search their entire lives for the love they had... and Leon was selfishly ripped away from him."

Jenni nodded understandingly, "I understand... but think about how you would feel if you were in Nova's shoes." She said as Jaune nodded, "I would want to know about this..."

There was a pause before Jaune looked up at Jenni again, "Thank you Jenni, I know what I have to do."

But before Jaune could do anything, Pyrrha, Nora and Jasper entered the room, Pyrrha holding a mug of coffee.
