(The atmosphere is gloomy. Gray clouds form the sky and rain pours down)

Y/n: (When someone you cared about was desperate and hurting, you couldn't do anything for her.)

(A memory comes back to you when you were a student at Beacon)

Ozpin: (flashback) Remain at team STRQ's side. Your presence is enough to inspire greatness. That's the truth.

Y/n: (The reality is, you've been holding her back. Great job, Y/n.)

(You look at the deserted village for a couple of minutes silently. Then, right as you were about to leave, a sword is swung right in front of your face, stopping you)

???: What's this? Have you come to blaspheme against a great huntsman? I think not, heretic!

Y/n: The Huntsmen Killer. Hello, Stain. It was unfortunate that our paths never crossed when I was still part of the Demon Kings group temporarily who could've stopped you. And then, after my betrayal, I figured we'd never have a reason to meet each other face-to-face.

Stain: What are you talking about?

Y/n: Oh, I see you don't know. Quite a bit has happened since I returned to my family. I'm Y/n, who used to be a vigilante. I slaughtered my entire clan.

Stain: You lie. Don't disgrace his name with your falsehoods.

Y/n: I don't blame you for thinking that I'm lying. Are you gonna kill me now? If not-

(Stain touches your neck with his sword)

Stain: It's a trick. There's no way you're Y/n. You're an imposter! We're on sacred ground. Why are you pretending to be that man here, of all places? Who are you to claim the title of "vigilante and huntsman?" Speak!

Y/n: Pretending. Sure. That's not far off. I always felt like I had to do something to help others. I couldn't stand in the wings and watch. Not when I saw people's lives stolen away from them every day. Even though I wasn't strong enough, I had to take action. I wanted to improve society. And then I hung up my badge. And this is the result. I was supposed to protect the ones I loved. But I couldn't even find a way to protect them. The reason is obvious. I am a failure, watching everyone else become true huntsmen.

(Stain swings his sword upwards and goes to slash, but instead, he grabs and hids you along with himself behind a building)

(Strange. I'm not feeling murderous intent from him.) I'm usually a hugger, but we just met.

Stain: Perfect timing. Watch!

(Stain pushes your head out, and you see a familiar person. She has gorgeous purple eyes, and her hair color is black to purple)

Y/n: *gasps* S-Shinobu?

Shinobu: They dump the trash here again? Jeez. When are they gonna cut this out?
