You Stare into the Abyss, and the Abyss stares back.

Tipping Point

It is a cloudy day, and Ruby's group is following a mossy stone tile path through the wilderness. While walking, Nora Valkyrie stretches her arms up wide.

Nora: "Another day, another adventure!"

Beside her, Jaune Arc reads a map while Ruby Rose and Lie Ren continue alongside them. Penny beside Jaune, looking at Ruby.

Penny: What's on the agenda today?

Jaune: Walking!

Papyrus: "Of course...just plain walking."

Nora: With a side of...?

Ren: Walking.

Mech: "This is plain ridiculous."

Ruby than sighed very tiredly.

Summer: "Ruby, what's wrong?"

Ruby: "Haven is a lot farther away than I thought."

Pyrrha: "Ruby? How long did you think this journey was going to take?"

Ruby: "I don't know! I grew up in a small area; I've never been this far away from home!"

Jaune: "Right but... how long?"

Ruby: "Maybe like, uh... two weeks?"

Weiss: "No you dunce!! It has been more than three weeks!"

Ruby does not make eye contact.

"Whatever."

Ruby looks up again after a beat and notices something ahead.

Ruby: "Hey, what's that?"

Nora jumps onto a slightly fallen post of a fence to get a closer look at a wall and building ahead.

Jaune: "That's... strange. I didn't think we'd be hitting another village for a few days."

Nora: "Are those buildings... damaged?"

Jaune: "We should search for survivors! Spear out!"

Jaune drops the map and one half of the group go running into one side of the village, with Nora leaping onto the wall and to a rooftop from there. The other half went to the opposite side of it. They discover the town to be empty. Ruby lifts a fallen plank of wood to find only plant outgrowth underneath.
