[ It's another rough night of dreams that have Ruby tossing and turning. They're full of vivid things that have been becoming clearer night after night - dark things, that she hadn't named to her team or friends because she hadn't wanted to upset them. Things had been emotionally-charged around the house anyway, and far be it from her to add to anyone's burden unnecessarily. After all, they're just dreams, and dreams can't hurt anyone.
Right?
This morning when she wakes, however, things are...different. Or rather, Ruby herself is different. It's evident from the very way that she wakes, slowly sitting up in bed and staring forlornly out the window instead of jumping up and meeting the day head-on. She's...quiet. Very quiet, and thoughtful. Every day she's in Empatheias is a day she's not at home, avenging her sister and bringing justice to the world by stopping the White Fang. It's hard to feel like it's not a waste of time to be here.
But that doesn't mean she can sit and languish, either. That's not what Branwens do. They keep on fighting, despite everything. So with a heavy sigh, Ruby swings her legs off the side of the bed and drops gingerly to the floor.
...That's strange. Why was her bed suspended? It was only her and Weiss in this room.
She realizes all-too-quickly, then, that there's another bed in the room. Another person, and as Ruby swings around to face that person's sleeping form, she's gasps, hands flying to cover her mouth. ]
Y-Yang?!
[ N-no. It...couldn't be. She has to be dreaming still. ]
