You carried an unconscious Akame as Storm helped an injured Split Lip.

Split Lip: Commander! We need to go back! Punch could still be alive!

May: We can't! Ironwoods forces would have surrounded the area!

Split Lip: I don't care! Put me down DAMNIT!

Ruby was next to you with a depressed look on her face.

Ruby: I'm so sorry... Punch is dead because of me... Like Sev...

(Y/N): It isn't your fault this time. I gave Punch the orders to do that... His blood is on my hands... Same as Sev's blood. I had the chance to call him off, but... I told him to proceed...

Ruby: But I went against your orders... I... I...

(Y/N): Ruby... If you continue to blame yourself... You will never move on... Sev knew that... He blamed himself after order 66 was executed... He blamed himself after his squad executed a jedi padawan... But he moved on... And used that failure to strengthen himself. He told me these words a jedi said to him one. "The greatest teacher, failure is"

Ruby looked down solomly before looking up to you.

Ruby: You're right...

The group stopped outside the Schnee Manor.

Weiss: We're here...

Weiss knocked heavily on the front doors of the Schnee manor, and soon after, the double doors are opened by Whitley, who looks upon the team in surprise.

Whitley: Oh, you’ve picked a fine time to--

Weiss interrupts by pointing Myrtenaster at him, and he looks at the blade in fright.

Weiss: Not. Another. Word. We’re coming in.

Whitley steps aside and groans as Ruby’s group walks into the manor.

Whitley: Things are already bad enough after what you did to father, now you want us to harbor fugitives too? Our family has a reputation.

He crosses his arms in annoyance. Blake, having set Nora down on the floor, looks at him.

Blake: That’s what you’re worried about? Your reputation?

Whitley: I’m just saying that we’ve already lost all the house staff, and mother locked herself in her room.

Weiss: Maybe you haven’t figured out what’s going on, Whitley, but we’re busy trying to save Atlas.

Ruby steps between the two.

Ruby: Look, our friends are hurt and we just lost one. We just need a place to lay low while they rest, and then we’ll be out of your way.

Whitley: Fine. What do you expect me to do, then?

Weiss points to the staircase behind her.

Weiss: Go to your room.

There is a brief pause, and Whitley sighs and follows her command.

Weiss: (sighs) This way.

Weiss walks away, and May lifts Nora and follows her. While Weiss and May exit the room, you and storm follow. You carrying an unconscious Akame and him dragging a crying Split Lip.
