[The further they went in, the more unsettled Yang felt, even as she tried extremely hard to ignore it. But the darkened, fog-lined streets were looking less like streets and more like a cold and unfriendly forest path. Like something out of a nightmare. ...Or a memory.
Ruby's voice sounded far away for some reason, even though Yang was sure they'd been right next to each other and that made her all the more anxious, especially when she heard her sister announce she was going to search higher up.]
Ruby, wait!!
[Too late. She heard her sister jump for the lamp post and then the nearest building, the trail of fluttering rose petals her only visual clue in this dense fog as to where her sister had vanished.
Immediately, she headed for the fire escape on the building, using her gauntlets to propel herself quickly up after her sister and trying extremely hard to get her heart to stop racing as badly as it was.
She was being silly, letting the ominous atmosphere and thick fog play head games with her; she needed to get a grip.
And then a scream from just ahead of her made her blood run cold.]
Ruby!?
[Instantly on-edge and anticipating an attack, she got to her feet and looked for her sister. Only for her heart to leap into her throat as she saw her stagger backwards and begin to fall from the balcony.]
Ruby!!!
[Instinctively, she dove head-long towards her, reaching a hand out to grab her and halt her fall, eyes wide and terrified.]
