Ruby and James were seen guarding at their lookout with their weapons on their hands. Weiss, Blake and Yang are on their camp bed, while Carl is seen doing push ups, Lena balancing herself and Kou modifying his guns.

Yang: Blake, are you awake?

Blake: Yeah.

Yang: Why do you think he asked us about being a huntress? Like, what was he trying to say?

Kou: *walking towards Yang* Maybe he's just curious. You're sleepy?

Yang: No Kou. And you think that?

Kou and Blake: No.

Yang: Weiss, are you awake?

Weiss: Of course I'm awake! You two are talking. And I think he... When I said I wanted to honor my family's name, I meant it. But, it's not what you think. I'm not stupid. I'm fully aware of what my father has done with the Schnee Dust Company. Since he took control, our business has operated in a... moral gray area.

Carl: *walks towards Weiss and sits down near her* That's why I'm careful on making my inventions Weiss. Not all the projects that your father gave me, I'm not doing the projects that it will harm the people.

Blake: That's putting it lightly.

Weiss: Which is why I feel the need to make things right. If I had taken a job in Atlas, it wouldn't have changed anything. My father was not the start of our name, and I refuse to let him be the end of it.

Carl: Good answer Weiss.

Blake: All my life, I fought for what I thought was right. I had a partner named Adam. More of a mentor, actually. He always assured me that what we were doing would make the world a better place. But of course, his idea of a perfect future turned out to be not perfect for everyone. I joined the Academy because I knew that Huntsmen and Huntresses were regarded as the most noble warriors in the world. Always fighting for good. But I never really thought past that. When I leave the Academy, what will I - how can I undo so many years of hate?

Lena: *walks towards Blake and sits down near her* We all do mistakes in this world Blake. No one is perfect. Even all of us had scars of our past.

Blake: How can you say that? You don't know having a scar.

Lena: I'm not. *looks to Carl* He has.

Everyone looked at Carl as he puts down his trench coat and lifted up his undershirt, revealing his scars. Everyone looks shocked and gasp at his scars, looking how deep it was.

Carl: I know what it feels like having scars Blake, and you're not the only one. *puts the undershirt on* It may heal but it will mark forever on us. *looks to Weiss and Blake* At least you two have something that drives you.

Yang: He's right. I've just kinda of always, gone with the flow, y'know? And that's fine, I mean, that's who I am. But how long can I really do that for? I wanna be a Huntress, not really because I want to be a hero, but because I want the adventure. I want a life where I won't know what tomorrow will bring. And that'll be a good thing. Being a Huntress just happens to line up with that. I'm not like Ruby, she's always wanted to be a Huntress. It's like she said, ever since she was a kid, she'd dreamt  about being the heroes in the books. Helping people and saving the day, and never asking for anything else in return. Even when she couldn't fight, she knew that's what she wanted to do. That's why she trained so hard to get where she is today.

Lena: Well, she's still just a kid.

Carl: Two years younger than us, and you're turning 16. We're all kids.
