Scene Segment: Burdens of guilt

Blake, Weiss, and Yang all stared at the frothy white bubbles trailing up to the surface from the bottom of their dorm's apparent custom-made wave pool. Beyond the glass window of their shared dorm, the sky was thick with ash and smoke from Ruby's atomic beam decimating a good chunk of the emerald forest.

The cries of angry Grimm carried on the wind, or at least, they were the cries of the lucky survivors of Ruby's ferocious massacre. Scars of molten glass and liquid rock marred the land from where Ruby's atomic beam had razed all that had laid in it's ravenous path.

Yang stared down at Ruby's slumbering form in the water with no small amount of visible worry and extensive grief. Violet colored pulses radiating the dorm from the water made her heart feel heavier than it ever had before.

Blake cast a solemn glance to the forest beyond their dorm window still aflame with orange color, her amber eyes reflecting the inferno that swirled in the silver light of Remnant's broken moon. Her gaze then flitted back to the girl that slumbered at the bottom of the pool, and Blake had a question she wanted Yang to answer for Ruby.

"What.....is Ruby? Why is she even like this?" The questions were spoken no softer than a whisper towards Yang, who had a single tear running a tract from her lilac colored right eye to her chin, remembered what she knew of Ruby's misery-filled last few weeks.

That day would forever leave a scar on their entire family, just as their mother, Summer's, death had over a decade prior. The day Ruby became something that marked her as a monster in the eyes of most people.

"She's like this because fate's a cruel bastard and I can't help her at all with dealing with it....."  That was right in all of its cruel travesty, Yang could NOT help or ease Ruby's burden no matter how hard she tried.

How could Yang stop Ruby's body from evolving like it did? If even Ruby could barely control it? It would be like trying to block an ocean with your bare hands, and it was all but futile to try, really. Then there was the physical suffering that Ruby had to drown out with her will's full might, lest Ruby shattered and break like a cracked glass vase falling to the floor.

Weiss stared at where Ruby lay slumbering in the water, her own heart and mind heavy with endless shame. She had a massive hand in Ruby's unfortunate providence, one that should never be denied. Her work on the mathematical calculations was fundamental for the development of the bomb Ruby was exposed to.

'To think I caused something like this to happen.....' Shame blanketed over her soul and mind with the chill of freezing water when more bubbles erupted on the water's surface.
