The dense foliage of the Ever After forest enveloped us, casting dappled shadows on the winding path. The air was thick with tension following Ruby's outburst and sudden departure. Jaune Arc and Juniper led the way, their determination evident as they scouted ahead for any sign of Ruby. Meanwhile, Blake, Weiss, Yang, and you trailed behind, our footsteps muffled by the carpet of leaves underfoot.

— I can't believe she just ran off like that. We've faced so much together; I thought we were stronger as a team. Blake's cat ears twitched, attuned to the forest's subtle sounds. Her voice broke the silence, tinged with concern.

— Ruby's been under immense pressure. Leading us, the weight of our failures... it's all been building up. Weiss sighed, her usually composed demeanor showing cracks of worry.

The weight of all of their emotions was palpable. The depth oif their guilt and worry were more obvious than others, especially as they've mentioned, how everyone was perfect with her with them.

— I should have seen this coming. She's my sister. I should have known she was struggling. Yang clenched her fists, her fiery spirit barely contained.

Continuing your search, the forest seemed to close in around everyone, mirroring the urgency and concern we felt for the missing leader, Ruby. The path ahead was uncertain, but everyone's resolve to find Ruby and bring her back to the fold was unwavering.
