Ruby: She's been gone all weekend...
Weiss: Blake's a big girl, I'm sure she can handle herself!
Yang: Weiss, come on. She's one of our teammates.
Weiss: Is she? We all heard what she said!
Ruby: Weiss.
Yang: Maybe she is, maybe she isn't. Either way, she's missing, and we need to find her!
Weiss: A member of the White Fang! Right underneath our noses!
Ruby: I just hope she's okay...
Elsewhere, Blake is sipping a cup of tea and sighing. She looks up at Sun sitting across from her, who holds his drink with his tail as his hand props his head up. He takes a sip when Blake puts her cup down.
Blake: So, you want to know more about us...
Sun: Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you gave me nothing but small talk and weird looks!(Blake gives Sun a firm look) Yeah, like that.
Blake: (rolls her eyes before closing them and looking at him sadly) Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?
Sun: Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!
Blake: (sips her drink while listening until she speaks up for the big reveal) I was once a member of the White Fang.
Sun: (promptly goes cross-eyed and chokes on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information) Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!
Blake: That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it...
Blake: Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus.
The audience is shown the dark outlines of two trios - animal-eared and tailed Faunus on one side, regular Humans on the other - shaking hands and making peace after their struggle. This does not last long, as seen by a white Faunus cowering in fear of the gray-and-black aggressors harassing the hybrid. Later, more Faunus are pushing the crowd away from their bullied brethren.
Blake: Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there.
Silhouettes of Faunus protestors are revealed, and emerging from the shadows is a young girl with dark hair and cat ears.
Blake: I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist.
Cutting from the child version of Blake, the blue flag of a white wolf with sad eyes and a circle behind its head is lowered, and raised in its stead is a red monster with three bloody scratches and teeth bared at the world.
Blake: Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking.
