*3rd Person POV*

We cut to a view of the balcony café in the middle of Vale where Sun Wukong, Nero Kristallos and Blake Belladonna are drinking tea.

Blake: "So, you want to know more about me..."

Sun: "Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" Blake gives Sun a firm look. "Yeah, like that."

Blake: "Sun, Nero... Are you guys familiar with the White Fang?"

Sun: "Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"

Nero: "I've heard about them during my travels."

Blake: "...I was once a member of the White Fang."

Nero was surprised by this revelation while Sun starts choking on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he holds up a hand to process this information.

Sun: "Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!"

Blake: "That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it... Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus."

Blake: "Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there. I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist."

Blake: "Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking. Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear."

Blake: "So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence, and instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am: a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little black bow." She wiggles her cat ears beneath the fashionable disguise to demonstrate.

Sun: "So... have you told your friends any of this?"

Blake merely looks down in shame and says nothing.

*1st Person POV*

The six of us were walking through town and calling in vain for our missing teammates. I know I trusted Nero, but they've been gone for half a day already.

Ruby: (shouts) "Blaaaake!"

Yang: (shouts) "Blaaaake!"

Vert: (shouts) "Nero! Where are you?"

Rosa: (shouts) "Neeeero!"

Azure: (shouts) "Nero! Blake! You guys around here?"

Ruby: "Weiss, you're not helping!"

Weiss: "Oh! You know what might be able to help? The police!"

Ruby: "Ugh, Weiss..."

Weiss: "It was just an idea!"
