After their disturbing meeting with team CRDL, the WBY had made their way to their dorm. Upon reaching the door, Weiss was trying her hardest to pull her Scroll out of her pocket in order to open it, but was having difficulties in doing so. Her hands were trembling so badly that she wasn't able to grasp the device properly.

''Weiss, what are you waiting for!? Open the freaking door already!'' Yang yelled while still carrying Ruby over her shoulder. ''Do you want to meet up with those freaks again!?''

''Of course not!'' Weiss yelled back. ''I'm sure I'm going to have nightmares about team CRDL tonight, so I don't want to make my situation any worse! I'm just so freaked out by everything that I can barely hold my Scroll!''

While the two girls were arguing, Blake noticed something different about the door.

''Ummm... Guys? Why doesn't the door have the lock for a Scroll next to it?'' the cat faunus asked and pointed at where the panel usually was. Her two teammates stopped their bickering and saw that the faunus was indeed right.

''What the-!? How are we supposed to get in!?'' Weiss asked in a panicked voice.

''Well, I can let you guys in, if you put me down,'' Ruby said. Yang then proceeded to gently let the younger girl go, who then pulled out a key from her pocket and opened the door.

Now that the four girls got inside the dorm, the WBY were surprised to find out that there were no bunk beds in the room. And not only that, but that there were only three beds.

''Ruby, which one is your bed?'' Blake asked, confused by what she was seeing.

''It's over there,'' the redhead answered in a sad tone and pointed at a corner. The WBY saw that there was a small pillow and a blanket there, and both were covered in holes and dirty.

''What the-!? How can anyone actually sleep there!?'' Yang yelled in anger with her eyes turning red for a second.

''You get used to it in time,'' Ruby answered. ''I had to when I wasn't allowed to have a bed.''

''Who could be so cruel as to not let you have an actual bed?'' Blake asked, already thinking of how she would make such horrible people suffer.

''That would be my teammates. You guys,'' the younger girl said, causing the WBY to freeze in shock. ''You told me that you needed more room for your stuff, so-''

Ruby was suddenly stopped by Yang pulling her into a strong hug. The blonde didn't want to hear anymore of the younger girl's painful life.

''Please stop,'' Yang whispered as she took Ruby and sat on one of the beds with the smaller girl on her lap. ''I can't take more of this.''

While Yang was busy trying to comfort Ruby, Blake walked up to her partner to assist her. Meanwhile, Weiss was pacing back and forth, trying to figure out what was going on.

''Okay, let's see. Ruby says that we have... done some things that we ourselves can't remember, but she has proof that we have done them. Not only that, but JNPR is acting like complete jerks, while the biggest jerks, team CRDL, are acting nice. How could this have-?'' the heiress mumbled to herself, until she suddenly stopped. Her eyes went wide as realization hit her.

''Did you figure out what's going on?'' Blake asked, hoping that her teammate had found some answers.

''Possibly. I just need to ask some things from Ruby to make sure,'' Weiss replied before walking up to the redhead and kneeling in front of her. ''Can you answer a couple of things, Ruby?''

''Ummm... Sure. I'll try my best,'' the younger girl answered.

''What are team JNPR and team CRDL like? What do you know about them?'' the white-haired girl asked.
