The opening starts with a closed café in the middle of Vale where The Blond Faunus and Blake Belladonna.

Blake is sipping a cup of tea and sighing. She looks up at him sitting across from her, who holds his drink with his tail as his hand props his head up. He takes a sip when Blake puts her cup down.

"So, you want to know more about me..." Blake said, while I sat in between him and Blake.

There you go Blake!

Open up to your friends!

"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks! Yeah, like that." He said, as Blake gave him a firm look.

"Sun, Mikoto... Are you two familiar with the White Fang?"

"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"

"And I've encountered them, with Ruby."

"Well I was once a member of the White Fang."

"Holy!—" I shouted but got interrupted.

"Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!" Sun said, as he promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information.

"That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it... Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus. Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist. Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow."

"So... have you told your friends any of this?" Sun asked.

"She hasn't." I chimed in, while she only nodded in response. "But you've got to leave, Sun, Blake."

"Yes I know, you can't have criminals—" Blake said, looking down.

"What no?! Look we here don't care about the fact you were an ex-criminal—we all have secrets. It's just your teammates will look for you here."

"Right.. but can I just have something to eat?" Sun asked respectfully.

"Of course you may! People helping out the troubled is the right thing to do! Order something! It's on the house!" The Manager exclaimed, as I stood up and walked up to Fumiha and Tori.

"..." Tori looked at the Faunus duo.

"What's wrong Tori?" I ask her.

"N-nothing. " She sighed

"Ne. Fumiha, help me with getting her to speak."

"R-right." She responded, pushing Tori up towards her bedroom, as I pulled her by the hands.
