    I have no idea if this is going to get to you but dad said he’d post anything for me so I guess there’s no harm in trying right? Sorry I didn’t write sooner [ there are some words here that have been heavily scored out ]. Kind of wish I could see you, keep looking at my scroll signal and expecting it to jump up, haha. I’ve been working on a thing in my spare time, it was a little slow going but I got the bases down. This is just a copy, so don’t worry about keeping it safe or anything! 

[ enclosed is a blueprint for a new weapon. at a glance it is almost identical to milō but several modifications shown in great detail and meticulous technical drawings give it away as what it is; a love letter to the original, something that can never be replaced. also, this can be transformed into a golden sword as well as its rifle ] 

    Always thought milō was pretty neat, so let me know what you think! It’s mostly just something to keep my mind occupied right now, so no worries if you don’t like it. 

    If any thieves read this letter and think about trying to build this prototype: don’t even try it, buddy. I’ll know, and I’ll make sure your shitty copy is the last thing you see. 

    Anyway, hand’s starting to hurt so I’ll leave it at that. I miss you so much, Pyrrha, and I was really, really glad to hear that you’re safe. Make sure you stay that way long enough for me to see you again, okay?

    Yours, always      Yang

“you... i thought you were dead.”

he stops dead in his tracks - seeing her sends shockwaves of guilt throughout his entire being. oz... oz sent her to her death. he knew that. he heard it. and he... he never protested against it. he swallows, hard, and takes a step towards the huntress.

     “I should be saying that to you,” Ruby chuckled, and she raised a hand to wipe at her eyes, blinking away the last drops of her tears. This is a happy occasion, Ruby told herself, she’d want to see you smile. So she did, and she looked at Pyrrha like she was her sky.

     “You look like you’ve just came down from heaven,” Ruby murmured, leaning into Pyrrha’s hand. “I mean, maybe I’m just that tired, but, gods, you look like you’re glowing right now.”

           “oh, uh!” a soft stutter, at first. jaune is raising a hand to scratch the back of his head, the other coming up between them as if to say ‘give him a second.’ they’ve been dating awhile and jaune still finds the fact ren is his partner, his mate, enough so that they can do things like double dates hard to believe sometimes. they both seemed to have gotten very lucky, he and pyrrha. 

time  to  knife.

      admittedly  ,  it ‘ s  never  quite  been  in  blake ‘ s  nature  to  seek  solace  in  the  company  of  another  :  anyone  who  knows  her  would  know  she  prefers  to  stay  out  of  the  spotlight  ,  to  lurk  in  the  shadows  where  she  feels  most  comfortable  ,  but  that  seemed  to  change  the  moment  she  came  to  beacon.  she  still  opts  for  alone  time  when  she  can  get  it  ,  but  the  rest  of  her  team  &.  other  newfound  companions  are  never  too  far  away  ,  such  as  tonight.  blake  has  never  known  wonder  like  this  :  joy  to  be  found  hidden  among  flashy  lights  ,  loud  music  &.  the  company  of  a  crimson  warrior  that  she  had  once  feigned  a  stand - offish  nature  to.  previously  foreign  champagne  laughter  bubbles  betwixt  petaled  tiers  ,  wan  digits  woven  so  perfectly  with  pyrrha ‘ s  as  if  she  trusts  her  with  her  entire  soul  ,  which  is  a  scary  thought  by  all  means  ;  that ‘ s  more  intimacy  than  blake  has  ever  allowed  herself  to  have  over  the  years  &.  it ‘ s  frightening  ,  but  somehow  this  wonder  girl  has  managed  to  strip  all  those  fears  away  like  they  are  nothing.  how  brave  of  her  ,  to  approach  a  beast  without  the  aide  of  her  fancy  weapons.  soon  is  belladonna  tugged  to  the  side  by  team  mates  ,  though  not  without  a  proper  send  off  to  the  girl  blake  so  desperately  wishes  to  stay  next  to  ,  but  she  knows  this  won ‘ t  be  the  last  time  they  see  one  another.

Texts in the middle of the night weren’t a common thing for the young leader. It wasn’t uncommon that she was awake until 2am sometimes, and usually she just went on walks around campus. In secret of course because she hated detention. On this particular evening, Ruby was sitting on the room of their dorm, gazing out at the moon. She could see professors occasionally walking by on the grounds, and she thanked whatever higher power was out there that they never seemed to look up. The text came through, and certainly surprised her. Everyone was asleep, right? Picking her scroll up from the ground, she read it over and smiled.

{text}: You should go for it! 100%!!

While she herself was rather inexperienced in the field of love, that certainly wouldn’t stop her from supporting her friends. Pyrrha and Nora got along really well! And if Nora felt the same way? Say hello to Beacon’s new power couple! Without waiting for another response, Ruby texted her again.

{text}: I’m on the roof if you wanted to talk in person! But I support you!

     NO ONE ELSE NEEDED TO DIE TONIGHT. No one needed to fall to his MISTAKES – to the FAILURE to stop Salem’s plans once more. This was HIS PROBLEM, not the STUDENT’S. This burden should be his to bare, not theirs – NEVER theirs. 

      Yet he could never quite stop it. People died for him – EVERYONE KNEW THAT. It was unfair. The lives for others could never be regained. No matter how HARD he tried, lives would ALWAYS slip through his fingertips. They would always fall beyond where he could reach them. Fall beyond where he could SAVE them.
