It was another day, another mission. Jaune woke up to a loud voice.
"Wakey! Wakey!" He loved Nora like a sister, but he wished he could go maybe one morning without her voice piercing his eardrums. Said ginger was dancing around their tent, seeming happy. "Come on, Jaune! It's morning ahonestly didn't know how she did it. After the fall of Beacon, he felt so defeated. It's been exactly one whole year since that day. Pyrrha, the girl he had fallen for, the one girl he could trust more than any of his seven sisters was gone. He knew Nora unfortunately felt similarly. She had been close to Pyrrha and considered the redhead one of her best friends, surpassed only by Ren. This wasn't the first loss for her, and after so many soul crushing losses, most people would have turned bitter, or at least subdued.
Not Nora. After the excruciating loss of her parents and older brother, she still was so happy. She shone bright like the sun, bringing light to all who would let her in their lives, and what was left of team JNPR was no exception. Admittedly, this morning, she was blindingly bright, and he wished she would just be quiet for once so he could mourn his friend. She seemed so happy this morning, like Pyrrha's death meant nothing to her. It seemed like an insult to Pyrrha's memory. The two of them and Ren had taken a solo mission into Haven after reports of Grimm activity in the forest. They just wanted to be away from the others this day.
Jaune's anger grew more and more as the girl began to babble cheerfully. "And that was weird, right? Speaking of weird, I had this weird dream last night whe-"
"Nora, for one day in your life, can you not talk up a storm! All you do is jabber and prattle, and you can't maintain a single topic for more than two or three sentences! Your bubbliness is driving me crazy, and I think it would be best if you just GO AWAY!" Jaune raised his voice and almost hit her, but his hand stopped an inch away from her face. He could not take her anymore, but he knew his beloved Pyrrha would be ashamed of him if he laid a hand on his teammate. They left the city to get away from the noise, yet Nora seemed to embody it.
Nora then quietly left the small tent. Ren glared at their blonde leader. "Why did you yell at her?" He asked.
Jaune sighed. "The fact that it has been a year since Pyrrha's death, and she just seems so bubbly and cheerful today when I just want to bawl my eyes out. It just seems like today is another day for her," Jaune defended.
Ren let loose a low growl. "She had faith in you before you had faith in yourself, yet you just let her down. You think she didn't care enough for Pyrrha? She loved Pyrrha like a sister, a bond not easily attained after her older brother died! You think she acts like she does because she is happy? Let me tell you one thing, that girl has been through more pain than most can bare. She only smiles so much, she only laughs so much because she knows that if she stops laughing, she'll never stop crying!" he yells before leaving the tent.
Jaune had never seen Ren yell before. Ren was always so quiet. Jaune must have screwed up big time!
