"I got to say these are pretty creative weapons," He said.

He looked forward, noticing the tired breaths of his opponent.

Before Jaune was a bloodied and battered David Pepper. His bones were broken and he was bleeding out, but he still remained conscious.

He stopped shuffling and put away the cards in his jacket. Soon, he knelt down to the fallen Arc.

"You know. I remember how we met."

"You were dating my cousin."

"I still recall how nervous and flustered you were when you met her parents."

"But with time, that all changed."

"They warmed up to you. You went on more dates with my cousin. You proposed. She said yes."

He started to chuckle.

"I still remember your wedding."

"The dress she wore. The suit you wore. The flowers. The streamers."

With one hand, he skillfully split the deck in two before putting the bottom deck over the top deck. He quickly took out a card. In seconds, it was brimming with energy.

David gave weak breaths as he stared at Jaune.

"After your wedding, you had some blissful years."

He pointed the card at David.

"Recently, you had a son."
