[ It's unbelievably scary. Jaune can see that Yang is uncharacteristically troubled by this, which means it's something quite close to her heart. Weiss, too, expressed similar concerns about getting attached to something that's temporary. Two of the strongest ladies he's ever known, terrified of having their hearts broken... it's not as amusing as it sounds. He's been there, after all. It hurts more than anything else he experienced, and Jaune gets hurt a lot.
With a wistful smile, Jaune stands up, ready to get back to his routine. With or without his help, he trusts they'll figure this out on their own, but he does leave her with some parting words. ]
Nothing lasts forever, Yang. Someday, we'll miss each other, too.
[ And yet he continues moving forward as his journal name suggests, towards a better tomorrow. WELL, THAT WAS GRIM. ]
[There's a similarly sad kind of smile on her face as she watches him leave. It's not until after he's left that she softly intones.]
...I know.
[Whether she means the chance of one of them going home or the chance of one of them dying because she's well aware by now that she's driving herself straight into some kind of war back home, it really doesn't matter.
If there's one lesson she's learned very hard, from a young age no less, it's that nothing lasts forever. Yang's tried to live her life as if every day could be the last one but sometimes it's just...difficult. And that kind of mindset doesn't always mesh well with things like relationships.
Picking her Scroll back up, Yang pulls up a file; not her party planning list but a photo. The same photo of the team that Ruby'd sent their dad at the start of classes.
It's not just that Yang's afraid of having her heart broken. It's that she's had it utterly shattered once already.
She's scared of what a second time would do to her.]
