"Actually..."


Everyone looks at you with a confused face

Jaune: Did you...?

You scratch the back of your neck and smile awkwardly

Nora: That's amazing! Since when?!

"A bit after... ... After The Fall..."

Everyone look saddened at the mention of The Fall of Beacon. Ysou see Jaune clenching his fist. It sadden you too, and you... sense... tears coming?

I'm sorry, Jaune... I am so sorry...

It's the first time you mention it in front of him

Ruby see this and run to hug you tight

"It's okay y/n, it's okay..."

"I-I--"

"It's okay... It'll be okay"

She lightly caress your hair and you don't want to give in but when you see Jaune's face, who's full of sadness and surprise to see you like this, and Nora and Ren look surprised too, you can't contain it anymore

"I'm.. I'm sorry Jaune... I... I failed you... I failed her..."

You are now crying for real, which is rare enough to mention

Jaune is now in complete disbelief, and seem really touched by your sudden show of emotions

"You... You didn't. I failed. I was supposed to protect her..."

"I'm sorry... I-I-I can't..."

You couldn't do anything. It was written you couldn't... But I... I could've done something... I failed..

You place your hands on Ruby' shoulders, and she look at you, worried

You regain you composure and nod at her, she stop hugging you

"I'm... I'm good... I'm sorry, I just snapped a bit"

"Don't worry, you can always tell us if you need" she has a gentle smile on her face

You just stare at her for a bit. Her soft smile really is comforting, your not an emotional, but... her smile.. It just calms you...

...

After some seconds, she start looking uncomfortable with your stare. You see it and remove your hand of her shoulders

"Sorry. Just to be clear, your smile is just really doing me good"

"Uh... Okay... Glad to hear" she has now an awkward smile

Why do her smile affect me so much? It's strange, I'll need to make some research about this...

You fully regain control of yourself as you wipe the tears from your face

"Okay, sorry guys"

Everyone: No problem

Nora: Sooooo, what's your Semblance? Can you shoot laser from your eyes?! Can you stop time?!!!

"Sadly, no. My Semblance... I think the best is to show you. It'll be... funnier"

Nora: Okay, show us!

"Well, it works with someone else and for this, I think the best person to show you is... Ren"

Everybody turn to him, as he look at you confused

"Me?"

"Yes, come here"
