There exists an infinite number of timeline, and each are, even in the most infinitesimal manner, different. However, the smallest change can result in the biggest of consequences. There is one universe where y/n decided to be the bad guy, one where he went elsewhere, one where nothing happened and... one where the weight was simply too heavy for him to carry.
What if... y/n snapped ?
In the midst of all your thoughts, one thing remains as you walk towards the portal and in your sudden search for certainty and comfort, you look at someone who has the gift of always bringing a smile upon anyone's face: Ruby
She smiles at you as per usual and you just stare for enough time for it to be awkward, until Ambrosius cuts in
Ambrosius: Oh and one last point of clarification about this... central location of yours. Do not fall
Weiss raises her hand and prepares to say something but he doesn't let her
"Okayyyyy! And with that dire warning..."
He makes a reverence and disappears
Weiss: We did it
A great rumbling is heard from the city starting to fall
Like hell we did...
Ruby: y/n?
...
"Do you think we're good to go?"
...
Yang: I don't think it's the time for nitpicking
Weiss: The devil is in the details Yang, especially with Ambrosius. And I hate to admit it but y/n does have a talent for finding problems where everyone else doesn't.
...
...
Ruby: y/n?
...
I can't
I simply can't anymore
And what if Schlag gets hurt because I didn't do anything?
Is the timeline I know even still relevant?
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?!
Penny: y/n. I believe you have something hard to say, but I also think you understand time is of essence here
y/n, looking down: It's... wrong. All of this is wrong
Weiss: I thought we agreed on the plan?
Penny: Technically no one asked him his opinion in the process
y/n: Give me the staff
Ruby looks at you confused, then at the staff and makes a small laugh
Ruby: You know it's funny. I hesitated. If anyone would have asked other than you, I would have given it to them without a second thought. Yet you were the one who followed me even when you disagreed... Take it. You'll make a better use of it than me
She gives it to you
Ruby, with truly sorry eyes: I'm sorry for not trusting you. Again...
y/n: Don't worry. Ambrosius!
You call upon him and suddenly everything stops
Your friends too...
Ambrosius: I thought it best to not include them in this conversation
