While everyone is tending for both Blake and Sun to recover from their injuries, Ragna will be at the same restaurant where they met Weiss doing his first day on the job as a chef at 10:30 AM. With her busy serving tray after tray as a waitress, he is given a tour of the entire kitchen by the manager. After the tour is finished, he waited for the next order.

The bell rung and he approaches the window where Weiss is where she will give him a paper of their customer's order. He gets it and reads it.

"Two Piece Burger Steak with French Fries... Seems reasonable," he said with satisfaction. After all, he likes cooking meat dishes. Getting a nearby cookbook, he prepares the meal. First, he grinds the meat before putting it to a bowl, then he puts seasonings into it for flavor. Making two burger patties, he chose the method to grill them. He flipped them until both sides are cooked.

Next, he cuts down the potatoes to make french fries. He puts them in a deep fryer for 45 minutes until they're cooked.

He completed the meal and ring the bell for Weiss to get it. He watched to whom she will serve it to. A customer takes a bite and looks satisfied about it as he starts to enjoy his meal. Of course, Ragna's cooking is always delicious. Next, he takes another order from Weiss and reads it.

"Gyudon... Another interesting meat dish," he said with satisfaction as well on the next order. The rice was already cooked, so he'll just cook the beef strips. After this, he puts the rice and meat to a bowl where he will put an egg and sesame seeds to finish it. After delivering the meal to Weiss, he saw the customer where she will deliver it to, and he smiles at his satisfaction of it.

He continues doing this for the rest of the afternoon until 5:30 PM.

Now that his work for the day is done, he decided to bake a chocolate cake for Yang's birthday. Of course, Weiss will be helping out in this task.

"Eggs?" she checked the ingredients.

"Check," Ragna confirms them.

"Sugar?"

"Be specific."

"Brown... sugar?" Weiss said the specified sugar.

"Check," Ragna confirmed it.

"Baking soda?"

"Check."

"Baking powder?"

"Check."

"Flour?"

"Check."

"Vanilla?"

"Check."

"And milk?"

"Check."

"Good, let's bake the cake," Weiss smiled as all the ingredients they needed are checked out.

"Yeah, let's," Ragna smiled in return as they start in baking the cake.

The two arrived to the hotel room where Blake is recovering. It is in this room that they're going to celebrate Yang's birthday. In fact, there is a banner that said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YANG!' hanging in the side of the room. Ragna puts the cake that is inside a box to the table and watched Blake having a good reunion with Ruby and Weiss.

This girl... She reminds of Tao, only she's more smarter than her.

Just then, Yang entered the room and she's looking at Blake with a neutral expression on her face. Realizing this, Ragna pointed his finger at the door, signalling Ruby and Weiss that they should leave to give them both some space. Out of her reunited teammates, Yang is mostly the one Blake needs a talk for her runaway status eight months ago. She took a chair to sit down next to her.

"Yang..." the cat Faunus begin speaking first. "I know you have mixed feelings about seeing me again after I left you eight months ago. I'm not expecting you to forgive me for running away. I just... I just... I just want you to understand that..." She is crying now. "I'm so sorry, Yang. I'm so sorry I runaway without saying goodbye. I'm so afraid that you'll hate me for not telling you about my reason for leaving you and how you lose your arm..."

Before she could finish, Yang's robotic right arm pulls her into a hug with her. She is glad to have her back.

"How can you forgive me this easily?" Blake said with disbelief while looking sad. "I thought you're going to hate me."

"I don't hate you, Blake," the blonde tried to comfort her and wiped her tears dry. "What happened back there is not your fault. I charged in without thinking because I was trying to protect you. I paid the price, not you."

She lets go of her and they look at each other in the eye.

"Besides, I might have a clue why you left," Yang added. "It's him, isn't it?"

Blake knows she's talking about Adam. She nodded at this.

"At Beacon... Adam... he said he would destroy everything I love. He said that he'll start with you, so I ran," she said with guilt raising on her. "I don't want him to hurt you or any of my friends. I thought I was being selfless, but I realized that I'm not. Sun's right. Leaving you is more hurtful than what Adam did to you."

"Guess being away from each other for months really thought us both a lesson," Yang said as she hugged Blake again. "I missed you, Blake."

"I missed you, too, Yang," the cat Faunus returned the hug.

As they shared their happy reunion, Ragna, Ruby, and Weiss are nearby to hear all what they said and walked away from the hotel to give them time.

Ragna, Ruby, and Weiss are going to take a walk outside for a while.

"Are they going to be okay, Ragna?" Ruby asked the white-haired man, referring to Blake and Yang about their reunion.

"Well, that's for those two to decide," Ragna responded in a simple way.

"The thing about Blake abandoning us just because of what that Adam guy said about hurting us..." his copycat said in an expression that she looked down from it. "It's complicated, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is."

"How would you know that?" Weiss glared at him.

"Let's just say that I had someone like that doing the same thing, and it's my younger brother, only he wasn't trying to protect me. He was trying to kill me," Ragna told them a bit of his background.

"Kill you? Why?" Ruby asked him after being surprised of what he said.

Ragna glared at Weiss due to the fact that she reminds him of Jin.

"Because he thinks I'm a threat to the world, which he's right. Not only that, if I'm not mistaken, but also he's jealous because I was spending time with our younger sister, Saya, more than him, especially when she was ill. Among those reasons, he was manipulated."

"By who?" Weiss asked next.

"Yuki Terumi..." Ragna responded, but rather not tell more about his recently deceased archenemy. "That's another story I'll tell another time."

"Oh..." Ruby said with disappointment. She wished that she wanted to know him more. Weiss could understanding that feel as she wanted the same thing as well.

In 7:30 AM, Yang's birthday is being celebrated. Sure, everyone doesn't have any presents due to them being busy for going to Mistral, but celebrating it is all there's to it. She's just glad Blake is there to attend it. After blowing out the candles, they eat the chocolate cake.

This is her greatest birthday ever.
