The group of six was slowly walking around the Schnee mansion they had just been transported to. The building was truly something only a noble could have, as all of the decorations and furniture they saw were high-class and expensive. There were also very high-quality paintings on the walls, depicting either big events in the history of Remnant or what seemed to be members of the Schnee family.
''Man, this place is practically made of money,'' Yang said as she looked at some of the paintings. ''I'm pretty sure that one of these costs more than what an ordinary Huntsman earns in their whole lifetime.''
''Well, what would you expect?'' Weiss asked while letting out an aura of pride. ''After all, this is MY home, so one should only expect the best to be seen here.''
''Yeah, bought by money made from shady deals and mistreatment of your workers,'' Blake said with a roll of her eyes, angering the heiress.
''My sister's pompousness aside, this clearly is our home,'' Winter said while looking at her surroundings. ''However, something's not right here.''
''What do you mean by that?'' Glynda asked.
''This place is not like I remember it at all. While these walls used to have paintings on them, there were nowhere near this amount of them before. It's almost like someone went on an art shopping spree. I also haven't seen any pictures of our father at all, which there used to be a lot,'' the soldier explained.
''Your dad had pictures of himself decorating the walls?'' Yang asked. ''How bad is that guy's ego?''
''Imagine a Weiss whose arrogance is a hundred times worse. That's only the tip of the iceberg,'' Winter answered.
''HEY!'' Weiss yelled, not liking the way her sister was talking about her.
''Oh, stop that, Weiss! You know it's true!'' the white-haired woman said.
''Winter, you do remember that we are in the future, right?'' Cinder asked. ''I'm pretty sure that with such a long time having passed by, you should expect there to be some changes. And I'm certain that a simple change in decoration is one that you should expect at least.''
''I know that, but this still feels a bit odd. I mean, while neither Weiss or I have all that many positive feelings when it comes to our father, I would have expected at least one picture of him to remain. He might be a dislikable person, to say the least, but he still did raise us and provide us with a lot that we should be thankful for. I doubt that either one of us could ever truly even try to wipe away the memory of him like this, even if we wanted to,'' Winter explained. ''I mean, I can't even find our family portrait anywhere.''
While everyone was thinking about the soldier's words, Yang noticed someone walking towards them. It was a young maid most likely hired by the Schnee family to help around the mansion.
''If it's such a bother, we should ask about it,'' the brawler said and walked towards the maid. ''Hey! Can I ask you something?''
The maid didn't respond in any way to Yang's question. In fact, she acted like she didn't even notice her and just kept walking. The blonde girl was about to get angry and start yelling, but that was stopped by the maid suddenly walking trough her like she was air. Yang and the others could only stare with wide eyes as this happened, and the maid continued on her way and eventually disappeared from their sights.
''W-What the hell!?'' Yang yelled out of shock with a pale face. ''Was that a freaking ghost or something!?''
''More like you were the ghost!'' Blake said with wide, scared eyes. ''Did you see how she just walked right through you!?''
