It is a cloudy day, Rin and RNJR is following a mossy stone tile path through the wilderness. While walking, Nora stretches her arms up wide.

Nora: Another day, another adventure!

Beside her, Jaune reads a map while Rin, Ruby, and Ren continue alongside them.

Ruby: What's on the agenda today?

Jaune: Walking!

Nora: With a side of...?

Ren: Walking.

Ruby: (sighs) Haven is a lot farther away than I thought.

Rin: Same. Ruby? How long did you think this journey was going to take?

Ruby: I don't know!

Ruby: I grew up in a small area; I've never been this far away from home!

Jaune: Right but... how long?

Ruby: Maybe like, uh... two weeks?

Jaune: What?!

Ruby: Okay, fine! Three or something! Look, whatever.

Ruby looks up again after a beat and notices something ahead.

Ruby: Hey, what's that?

Nora jumps onto a slightly fallen post of a fence to get a closer look at a wall and building ahead.

Rin: Is that a village.

Jaune: That's... strange. I didn't think we'd be hitting another village for a few days.

Nora: Are those buildings... damaged?

Jaune: We should search for survivors!

Jaune drops the map and all five go running into the village, with Nora leaping onto the wall and to a rooftop from there. They discover the town to be empty. Ruby lifts a fallen plank of wood to find only plant outgrowth underneath.

Ruby: Anything?

Rin: Nope!

Nora: Nothing over here!
