I didn't have a choice, I did what I had to do / But, baby, please don't do what I did / I don't want you to waste your life in vain

[the camera focuses on Summer sitting in a chair while still holding Battaglia's lyre form, a look of worry etched on her face]
Girls, this is my final message to you. After All Our Days, I had a few more things I wanted to say…
[she pauses, hesitating, before taking in a breath]
If you girls are anything like your parents, you'll probably want to become Huntresses which means you'll likely go to Beacon. I wanted to give you a few head's up before you do.
First: don't be surprised if the teachers bring up Team STRQ—especially me. We're considered the best team to pass through Beacon in the entire history. As for me… Well… I'm considered its best student. Hopefully it won't put any unreasonable expectations on you—especially Ruby—but I can't say for certain. I know better than anybody how teachers can be when they find a genius.
Second: be wary of Headmaster Ozpin. He's a good man with good intents at heart but he's…very complicated. I have no doubt he'll try to pull both of you close to him. You can trust him but do so with extreme caution. Especially you, Ruby. If you're anything like me… He'll take special interest in you. He'll mention your eyes if given the chance. If he does, be on guard. It's not something to take lightly. Just… Be careful of him.
[she sighs as she looks down at her hands, then back up at the camera as she starts crying]
Girls, I'm so sorry this is my final message to you but… I have to go on this mission. I'm the only one that can potentially defeat the opponent we're up against. I love you both so, so much and wish nothing but the best for you. Tai will take good care of you in my absence.
I'm so proud of both of you. You're bright, strong, and resilient. You can withstand anything as long as you have each other.
Goodbye.
[she gives one last smile, tears trailing down her cheeks. She flashes a peace sign before the video turns off]
