It was morning in Menagerie. After I was shot, I was taken to the only hospital here. I woke up to see Blake and Sun at my bed.

Me: Hello.

Blake: Hey. Me and Sun were about to ask people to help us with Haven.

Me: Sounds like fun.

Blake: Yep. Your surgery went well. But you weren't supposed to wake up for a few more hours.

Me: I see. Oh well. Let a nurse I'm awake in your way out then.

Blake nodded and they left. A nurse walked in and smiled.

Nurse: Hello. Doctor Jones and Doctor Free will be with you in a few minutes.

Me: Two doctors? Why is that?

Nurse: They do everything together.

Me: I see. Are they good?

Nurse: If Jones and Free were in Vail, all of the injured would be healed now.

I smiled.

Me: I know someone like that.

Blake

Me: Okay. Are you ready?

Sun: I beat up on giant monsters and robots more than once, I think I can handle getting a few signatures.

I gave a small smile at Sun. We had both agreed not to go too far from each other. Just in case. I started on a platform in front of a crowd of Faunus, holding my scroll up in front of me.

Me: Your chieftain needs you! Your people need you! Please, join the fight and help us save Haven Academy!

The Faunus just stared back at me. I looked to Sun as the crowd dispersed. Sun was trying to recruit a Faunus with ram horns.

Sun: Are you kidding me? We'd love to have someone with your skills on our side!

The Faunus nervously rubbed the back of his head, before his mother called out to him.

Worried Mother: Mata! Get back inside.

Mata: Mom!

Worried Mother: You're not going anywhere!

Sun sighed in disappointment. We walked to the beach. I went to two Faunus girls asking them to sign up, but the two left. I looked to see Sun hanging upside down by his tail from a tree, getting the attention of a couple of Faunus cutting logs and gathering wood. He gestured to his scroll, but the Faunus simply exchanged confused looks with each other. Sun sighed until another Faunus tries to cut down the tree that Sun was hanging on. At the docks, I conversed with an aquatic Faunus as two more swam up to me. The Faunus I was conversing with left and I turned to the two female aquatic Faunus that had just swam up, before they too swam away. I, unsatisfied with the lack of progress, walked up to a nearby fruit stand where Sun was. The two of us shared disappointed glances. We ordered drinks then sat down at a nearby table.

Sun: I don't get it! How can they just sit around and do nothing with the White Fang getting ready to attack?!

Me: Because not everyone is like you and me. The Faunus here in Menagerie - the ones that weren't born on the island - moved here because they were tired of fighting, of having to struggle constantly. Menagerie is filled with people that just want to be left alone, and here we are, asking them to put the rest of the world before themselves.
