Rwby's POV:

  I fought long and hard with Cinder. The trouble was that a light surrounded her and she disappeared. It was no thanks to that transporter device she had on her.

  I knew  Juane "John" thought Pyrrha was alive. I could tell because he protested the notion it could be anything else.

   I felt the others knew best, Pyrrha was dead.

  I knew it, and so did everyone else.

Why couldn't John accept that and move on?

 Could he be more attached to her than he lets on?  Is that why he keeps trying to insist that she is alive?

  We all saw her fall to the ground the day Cinder attacked her. We saw Cinder get back up after John struck her but we did not see Pyrrha get back up. That was because Cinder had killed her.

       Yet, John tries to say he needs to find her.

  Find her, why?  How would that do any of us any good?

 Her mother believes she is deceased. Almost everyone does other than John. He still clings to the hope that Pyrrha somehow made it.  The boy is a sad case. I have seen stuff like this happen before to people who could not cope with the death of a loved one.

  I never thought I would see that happen to one of my friends. Poor Juane, Yes, the poor lad had been through a lot since coming to Beacon. It had taken Pyrrha to get him to open up enough to use his weapons let alone master them.

  Perhaps, that was it, Juane felt guilty he had survived when Pyrrha hadn't. Was that it?  Could that be the answer as to why he felt, he had to cling to a small part of her?

"Look, John, I know you feel like you owe her something, we all do," I say.

  "This unhealthy looking for her must stop, it will only do you more harm in the end," I try to tell him.

    "Rwby, she is not dead, she is alive, I am telling you, she is," Juane protested.

     "Juane, there is no other explanation as to her whereabouts, and we have not had contact with her in three years," I try to explain.

"Rwby, I don't expect you to believe me, but I am telling you she is not dead," Juane said.

"I refuse to believe it when it is simply not true," He argued.

   I shook my head and joined the others.  I told them what Juane had said and they all agreed that he was suffering from Pyrrha's loss more because he had a crush on her.

       I knew there might be a slight possibility he could be right, but where was she then?  How did that explain why we could not find her body?

      Great, I thought, now I am as crazy as him.  

  She is dead and that is all there is to it, I thought. Her mother must have requested her body for burial which makes more local sense than the silly notion that Prryha was stuck in some other world.  That was the theory Juane told me about and I knew then his denial had worsened.
