Jaune took his stance as per the video's instructions. A forward thrusting jab, followed by a swing to his right, then another swing to follow through. Though his face displayed exhaustion and pain, he still managed to smile while the last part of the video played. The small bit of comfort quickly stamped with a pang of guilt.
"I'll always be here for you, Jaune," Pyrrha's message stopped, then rewound itself.
Jaune took a quick moment to remind himself that it was his fault that she's gone. He was the one who was supposed to stand guard while the procedure took place. 'If I had blocked that arrow, maybe held Cinder back long enough, just maybe, Pyrrha would still be alive,' Jaune thought, 'But she's not.'
"Shield up, keep your grip tight. Don't forget to keep your front foot forward…" the video continued on as Jaune snapped out of his thoughts. He reassumed his stance and repeated the three-swing combo.
"Why are you doing this to yourself, Jaune?" Ruby mumbled to herself as she walked away, unable to continue watching her friend in his self-made agony, still wishing she could help somehow. "It wouldn't be right if I did."
