Early that morning
Pyrrha rolls in her bed, finding it difficult to fall asleep. She sighs, rolling to face Stella who is somehow sleeping so peacefully. She smiles at her girlfriend, before quietly getting up.
The redhead passed Kiko's bed, on the floor, as the girl is hugging a chameleon plushie. Pyrrha then opens the door and closes it as quietly as she could.
Without a second thought, she rushes into weapons, grabbing Miló. Holding the weapon in it's spear form, she walks towards the kitchen.
It was eerily quiet, the Nikos felt like she could hear every creak.. every slight movement.. every wire letting off a zap sound. It was eery as fuck.
Pyrrha now enters the kitchen, just about jumping through the roof when she bumps into Nova.
"Oh my gosh!" She flinched, before holding out her weapon. "It's just me!" Nova replied, holding his arms up in the air. "You're not carrying your weapon?" Pyrrha asked. "You are??" Nova retaliated.
The redhead lowers the spear before looking at the taller, panther faunus. "It's... hard to trust anybody." She admits. Nova nods, "I know what you mean... though currently I don't really care if I live or if I die." The Pierce admits, going to exit the kitchen.
"I'm really sorry about Leon." Pyrrha quickly says as Nova tenses up. "I can't begin to imagine how you must be feeling.." The Nikos sighs. "To truly love another person is to accept the work of loving them is worth the pain of losing them... Ari told me that. I just.. didn't think I'd have to understand their words so soon." The panther managed to say, sounding choked up, as his shoulders slumped.
With that, Nova left the kitchen, leaving Pyrrha to think about his words.
The tall girl decides to get a snack, hoping to get her mind off of things. With a theme of people losing their other halves, Pyrrha was absolutely petrified of losing Stella.. to the point where it was keeping her up at night.
Now that she was all alone, Pyrrha let tears fall. The built up stress and anxiety, she let it all out as she cried.
Several minutes pass, and she felt at least a bit better. Pyrrha wipes her eyes before going to leave the kitchen, but she stopped upon noticing the coffee pot sitting on the bench.
She gave it a confused look, before walking over to it. It was cold, indicating that it had been sitting there for a while, and it was clear that people had helped themselves to it.
Pyrrha sniffed the coffee, pulling her face away from the coffee pot as it had an unusual smell to it. Thinking nothing of it, she poured it down the sink, before turning away to leave the kitchen.

Later that morning
Weiss' eyes flutter open, as she heard nothing but stillness. "Good morning Yang." She greets her best friend, whose room she had moved into since Ruby and Davina were no longer with them, before rolling over to look at the Xiao Long, whose bed was on the other side of the bedroom.
Getting no answer she asks, "..Yang?"
The Schnee gets out of her bed and races over to Yang, shaking her awake as she worries. "Yang!? Yang!? Wake up!!" She pleaded, as her eyes filled with tears.
Yang's eyes suddenly shot open, "Weiss?! I'm awake!! Geez." The blonde said as Weiss let out a sigh of relief, before hugging her friend. "I.. I guess I'm pretty worried. We have lost a lot of our friends lately.." The heiress sighs.
She felt Yang's body suddenly jerk violently, and she pulls away from the girl, to notice that she was seizing. "Oh my god— Yang!!" Weiss blurted.
The Xiao Long's face went blue, as she had stopped breathing, her limbs flailing. "Yang no—" Weiss panicked, as she rolled the girl onto her side, hoping to clear her airway.
But it was too late.
Yang took her last breath, before she was still. Her heart had stopped beating, completely.
"Yang!?" Weiss cried out, covering her mouth before she let out an ear piercing scream.
The door swung open, as Kiko, Stella and Pyrrha entered the room, stopping as they found Yang's lifeless body, and a hysterical Weiss beside her.
Stella froze up before she stammered, "N..No!!!" The pinkette rushed to her best friends side, checking for a pulse. Not feeling one, she covers her mouth, her eyes welling with tears. "No.. no, no, no—" Stella stammers before she broke down, sobbing.
Kiko and Pyrrha's eyes welled with tears, as they watched Stella hysterically sob over her best friend, who was also a good friend of theirs. The pinkette cried over Yang's body, unable to speak. She could barely stop crying to take a breath.
Weiss stood up, trying to compose herself, but it was incredibly difficult. She faced Pyrrha and Kiko. "I'm going to go and call a meeting.. Kiko, come with me?" She asked, her voice trembling. Kiko nodded, "Of course, Weiss."
With that, the pair left.
Pyrrha walked over to her love's side, as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Stella.. I'm so sorry.." She choked out, as Stella pulled away from Yang's body, before looking to her girlfriend. She looked completely heartbroken.. as if her world had just fallen apart, into millions of pieces.
Nicola couldn't help but grin, as she looked down at two year olds Stella and Yang. The young toddlers were fast asleep on the couch, holding eachother close. Every one of their limbs intertwined, as they snored very lightly.
"What are you grinning at?" Raven asked, approaching Nicola. The blonde haired woman shot her best friend a smile, before she motioned to their daughters. "Look." She said. Raven couldn't help but to smile, as she saw the pair.
Stella's head was resting against Yang's shoulder while Yang had her arms fully wrapped around the smaller girl.
"This is starting to look like normal behaviour for them.." Raven admits as Nicola agrees. It wasn't a surprise to either of them really, from the moment the young girls were introduced as babies, it seemed like all they were interested in, was eachother.
They would often nap together, and when they were a bit older they would constantly play together, walk together, and again... nap together some more.. they were the definition of inseparable, almost like they were meant to be sisters.
"Do you think they'll ever be okay without eachother?" Nicola asked as Raven gave her a confused look, "Honestly.. I don't think I would like to find out." She laughed.
When Ruby came along, Markus, Taiyang and Summer were worried that the girls wouldn't get along with her, since they were inseparable... but quite the opposite happened. The blonde toddlers accepted the smaller girl in with open, loving arms, and they instead became an inseparable trio.
The Valentine just moved forward, as Pyrrha embraced her. Stella sobbed heavily, as Pyrha rubbed her back, trying to comfort her.
The Nikos' girl peered down at Yang's body, feeling an incredibly uneasy feeling wash over her. Was this nightmare they were living, ever going to stop?
☾
Jaune races into the cafeteria, his face paler than usual. "Oh no.. what is it?" Weiss asks, unsure that she wants the answer. Maeve and Blake stepped in, behind Jaune. "The three of us and Nova just found Miles, dead." Blake explains, still shaken.
"Oh my god.." Weiss paces around, trembling. "Weiss?" Maeve asks, worriedly. The heiress faces the fox, looking distraught, "Yang is dead too." She answers. Blake's face fell, "No.. Yang is dead!?" She asks, in disbelief as Yang was one of her best friends.
Weiss nods, tears rolling down her cheeks again, as Blake, who couldn't control her own tears now, races forward and embraces Weiss.
☾
Enzo, Jasper and Adam all stood in Miles' room, where they had found his body. Jasper looked down at the boy's lifeless body, with tears rushing down his face. Enzo sighs, looking down at Miles body. "What do you think the cause was?" The Lopez asks. Adam sighs, "I don't know.."
Enzo reaches out at puts a hand on Jasper's shoulder, as the boy tries to stop crying. "How many more people are going to die? I... I can't take this anymore.." The Clarke cries out, as Adam gives him a sympathetic look.
☾
"Lena.." Jenni calls out quietly, as the cat faunus didn't budge from her bed. Elena hadn't done anything, since her brother had been floated off into space. Without her twin, she felt like she just wanted to crumple up and die.
"Elena.." Jenni calls out, this time a bit louder. She reaches out, and touches the blonde's shoulder, and the girl rolls over. "What?" She snaps, visibly angry. Jenni decided not to take offence to her tone, understanding that she was absolutely furious with the world right now.
"Weiss is trying to round everyone up.. she found a bo—"
"I don't care!"
Jenni's face drops, at this sudden statement. "Weiss is one of the very reasons that Alec is dead. They all are. They all voted him without enough evidence and let him be falsely executed—" Elena stops herself and lets out a sigh. "I mean this sincerely Jenni, I hope they all die."
Jenni's face dropped as she heard this. Elena then rolls back over, hoping to be left alone. "Alec would want us to be better than this." Jenni says quietly, before turning around to leave.
Regretting her words and tone of voice used on her crush and close friend, Elena quickly sat up and went to face Jenni, to instantly apologise, but it was too late.. the Opal had left the room.
