"Everyone is entitled to their own sorrow, for the heart has no metrics or form of measure. And all of it..irreplaceable."
Ruby was left dumbstruck at how much pain her girlfriend was at the sight of her relationship with Adachi. She knew about the consequences that were going to happen if she had continued the blossoming friendship. Because of her selfishness for a better relationship, Ruby was now responsible for the murderous behavior between both Weiss'. Yes, it's because of her selfishness that resulted into this.
Ah.. the pain in her heart was telling her that she still loved Weiss, but she couldn't bear the truth that they weren't right for each other. It was as if the fates were telling her that five years worth of love were all for nothing. All the efforts that she made through the stress of this unveiled to only be an illusion of the fact that Weiss and Ruby were just incompatible from the very start.
Ruby couldn't just leave her first love in this state. the most she could do right now in the massive cataclysm of things was to try and comfort Schnee to shield her away from the worse of heartache.
Ruby walked up the stairsteps that had once been the stairsteps to the entrance of love, but now these were the stairsteps of ending a love. as Ruby made her way up the stairs, she heard the sounds of a familiar heiress throwing out the last of her resolve with every cry of love that screamed Ruby's name as it continued with each lingering leftover of remorse.
Ruby made the first initiative and knocked gently on the door to say "Weiss..it's me, Ruby."
The response was that Weiss was still crying and Ruby couldn't open the door even with her semblance enabled to generate heat. Weiss' glyph magic was definitely on a whole new plane of semblance, so Ruby was left instead to speak to Weiss personally.
"Weiss...it's me, Ruby. Can you please remove the glyph?" She said as she patiently awaited for Weiss' response.
Weiss took the time from her crying to yell out " Go AWAY!" as she motioned her hands to create more ice to form against the wooden door. Ruby could see that Weiss was in an unstable state already and that any further conflict could potentially result into a destructive environment. Believing that her words could potentially reduce this, she knocked once again while saying "Weiss..can we just please talk this out?"
From just those words, Weiss could already feel the hint of remorse in Ruby's voice and decided that perhaps she could just win Ruby back. This was only a stray thought but it was enough to Weiss flick her right hand forward to remove the effect of the glyph and thus removed all known enforced magic on the door.
On the other side of the door, Ruby felt the coldness of the wood disappear and leaned her hand against the doorknob to open it.
As Ruby entered the spacious spare room that used to be her room whenever Weiss and her got into a heated argument in the past, she couldn't help but notice a familiar heiress bundled up in the sheets of the bed curled up into what looked like to be a small ball. Moving forward with herself, Ruby sat down on the bed and gently squeezed Weiss' hand to assure her that Ruby was there for her.
"What do you want..?" Weiss said as she turned away from Ruby.
It was tense. Everything leading up to this moment had both of the lovers at high tension here because eventually they would have to split if it meant saving both of themselves. Ruby mustered the last of her remaining courage to face against her older lover and said "Weiss.. just because I'm moving on doesn't mean that you and I have to part ways forever. We can still be friends."
Friends…. that mere six letter word was a sign to Weiss that this was the end.
"Are you really willingly to abandon all the times we've spent with each other just to explore a different kind of love? Is that what you're aiming for here, Ruby Rose? What..did you just get bored of me all of a sudden and decided to flounder along with Adachi to feed your excitement of a relationship?" Weiss said to Ruby as the words gladly rolled off her tongue to give her a reassurance to embrace the harshness of Ruby's decision.
Ruby could only look at Weiss with a gentle look and squeezed the heiress hand to bring her back to the present.
"I know it hurts to bear the amount of pain you're going through, Weiss. Believe me, I would do anything to just have those days come back to us. Days of a better time, but, nothing like that lasts forever. Things always go, Weiss. It's been like this forever, you see. There's no changing of anything. I'm really sorry, Weiss, but I'm afraid that's how it's just going to have to be." Ruby said while looking away from the tearing heiress with a hidden pained look behind her face.
"But...But...I don't want to lose you!" Weiss said as she squeezed harder to grab Ruby's attention to bring Ruby's heart into a sinking motion. The amount of pain that was inside Weiss' eyes had made Ruby's pain paled in comparison at the gushing of tears that Weiss had. Ruby knew that whenever Weiss showed her feelings, it made her feel guilty even more than the pain that she was experiencing.
As much as Ruby could have saved Weiss from crying anymore and continue, her mind was telling her no.
The crack in their relationship was forever permanent and no quality time could ever heal that crack. It was a sign for Ruby, a sign that things were done. Their love flickered and died as soon as it had set sailed on that first day. Ruby knew the signs of a failing relationship, but she didn't want to admit to it.
Ah..I'm a really terrible person to be doing this to Weiss, but she doesn't understand that I'm trying to protect us both.
Ruby then brought Weiss forward into a hug and kissed her former partner's head to say "I'm sorry. I really am. There's just no way out of this. Believe me, I would do anything to have you back in my arms, but it seems that our time is gone."
Weiss responded with a trailing voice "So that means…"
"It's over, Weiss...this means that this ends our relationship only as lovers, but not friends." Ruby said as she released the embrace from Weiss to wipe away the tears on her former partner's face. Weiss squinted at the kind gesture but couldn't feel the feeling of shyness anymore.
"I know you're in pain, Weiss, but look on the bright side, at least we didn't have another fight to reach this conclusion."
"Just go! You're leaving me already!"
"One day..you and I will see each other again, and I'll be there to support you when you need it the most." Ruby said as she got up to walk slowly with regret in her chest but pressed on forward to pursuit her new love that was Adachi.
Weiss was left speechless after Ruby left. The familiar warmth that she always took for granted to help reassure her when she needed the most was now gone. everything that she had in her life was now gone and now she was all alone now. as it always has been and will always be.
Weiss tucked herself into a fetal position and laid on the bed to contemplate. even if Ruby was just in her decision to save the relationship, it still wasn't justified. How can you easily measure love as if it's a thing that you can simply judge in mere black and white? Most couples have their fights here and there but even still they managed to make up their resolve and died happily without any regrets.
For once in her life, Weiss was actually fighting back against the flow of the natural world. she wasn't going to forget Ruby even if it meant moving on to a better patch of life. In all her life, weiss has been just going through the motions in her day to day activities and never fully responded to anything. but now she was going to fight back.
"I need...Ruby back. I still love her...I can't.. just can't forget about her. She was the whole universe to me and what got me through those days of where I wanted to give up. Why should I give her up so easily to that Adachi.? Adachi doesn't even care about what I feel. It is always what SHE feels! Maybe... just maybe I could change it. I could change everything." Weiss said to herself as she cackled in her solitude of insanity.
... One year later ...
Weiss who has plummeted to the depths of insanity couldn't take it anymore. No matter how strong her memories are of Ruby, she still can't project the same feeling she had when she was around. Weiss has done everything to retain her memory of Ruby. Weiss has looked at every photograph with her and Ruby in it but nothing comes but the stab in her heart.
One day on a sunny bright day with little to no clouds in the cover of it, Weiss was passing through Vale city to hear the sounds of church bells clanging in the distance with a familiar ring to there being a wedding. Out of the corners of her mind, Weiss had a building fume of paranoia as she hurried her pace to find the source of it. When she finally did manage to reach it in time, she was welcomed with only another painful torturing of her heart. The married couple that had exited the church of bells was exactly what Weiss had feared of. It was the binding of Ruby Rose and Weiss Adachi marriage.
Weiss looked at the happy couple with a discernment of disbelief as she witnessed the happy couple enjoy themselves in the indulgence of love that had once been hers formerly with every kiss and touch of happiness that the two were doing. She clenched her teeth with forceful resistance but couldn't contain it anymore. Weiss let out a massive amount of tears quietly as she felt her heart break.
Sacrifices were already a thing of the past for Weiss. This time, she would be the one to take away the happiness of someone else who stole it from her.
What had always been by her side before Ruby came along was Myrtenaster, the precious rapier that was in development by the Atlas military force in an attempt to master dust magic with a human subject and external weapon instead of infusing together both dust/human to create the failed hybrids. The Schnee family had received the finalized type of Myrtenaster and was then passed onto Weiss instead of Winter for the sake that it would help boost Weiss' chances of becoming the heiress to the family's treasure.
The rapier was meant to only harm those who were potential threats to Weiss, but it seems that today it would see another light of its use.
Weiss whispered to herself as time seemed to have slowed down for her as she prepared the blade in an all too familiar stance that had once been the defendant to Ruby now twisted into an assault against Ruby. Weiss' aura projected a harmony of twistedness as it radiated with acidic intent to kill. Weiss had her fair skill of killing, but never on the occasion would she have ever drawn a blade against someone she especially had loved with all her being yet it was ignored for someone else.
Throwing herself a white glyph that meant for motion, Weiss began to feel the familiar speed that had graced her throughout all her years of training and zoomed forward to have the weapon be tipped just at the right angle to pierce Ruby. As Adachi and Ruby were going to exit to the entryway of the church, a moment of silence transcended upon them in the space between the killing and what had once seemed to be the union in life.
A blur of white passed through the both parties and soon, a stain of red appeared to have flown through the air in a mesmerizing pattern of blood. Adachi slowly turned her eyes to see her wife, but all she could find was a shocked Ruby with a surprised gaze gleaming over of what looked like a rapier that had pierced through her dress.
Ruby was shaking violently as she felt the blade internally inside her heart that had passed its way through the "atrial systole" and blood rushed in immediately without the barrier of the semilunar valves to contain them. Blood immediately gushed into her mouth and she started to taste the thickness of blood drooling from her mouth. Looking to where the source of the blade was leading to, she found there to be Weiss Schnee with vacant eyes revealing no sense of remorse as she withdrew the blade from Ruby and thus had Ruby crash to the ground with a stain of blood
Adachi could only shriek out in fear as Weiss brought her blade up forward to slash against Adachi's left eye to leave her with a foreverly shut eye cut off from her field of vision. Right as Weiss made the final cut, she then smiled sadistically with a tone empty of all former personality that had been and said to the gravely wounded Ruby
"You bleed as bright red as those roses."
"Do you now see the consequences of stealing away one's love?"
Weiss threw her family sword back into the open wound that she made to Ruby and muttered out a soft yet cruel cackling of laughter as everybody stared in shock at what happened in witness to the event before Weiss made one last glyph to escape from the church.
Adachi(who was thrown back by the furious blow of Myretenaster) then crawled her way to Ruby Rose to hold her against her arms as she tried her best to cover up the wound in an attempt to save Ruby. Ruby had calmly placed her hand against Adachi's face to wipe away a stray tear as she was dying in Adachi's arms. She whispered "I'm...so sorry, Adachi, but it looks like I'm not gonna make it this..time... I love you So Much…." Ruby said as she felt herself about to be consumed by darkness. Before Ruby could be consumed by the darkness that is death, she used the last bit of her strength to pull Weiss Adachi a.k.a her crying wife into one last loving kiss before her arms gave up and she was with death.
"No..it can't be...I just...can't….Ruby….Ruby….RUBY!" Adachi said as she held close the dead body of her former lover. Blood stained Adachi's dress also, but she didn't care as she weeped over the body that was her lover.
On that day, the sun was shining brightly, but the mood of everyone was robbed of happiness because of one person's wish to have a lover she could never have.
Weiss was walking her way past the main entrance of the Schnee family mansion before turning to one of the bookshelves in her room. Weiss tipped one of the books to the right to then revealed the opening of a bookshelf to reveal an interior room painted in the colors of darkish grey and a scenic hue of green glowed within the far center left of the room. Weiss strolled her way to where the green hue was and pulled away the cover of the cylinder object to reveal an unknown subject. She trailed her fingers across the glass case of the test subject and whispered "You are my only..salvation..Ruby."
The being inside the glass case could only respond with the bubbling of assistance of the oxygen tank provided to her. This thing..was Ruby Rose, but not the Ruby Rose that had been the original. Instead of the Ruby Rose who had made the choice to stay with Adachi, this Ruby Rose was raised in the environment of a sterile laboratory underground the Schnee Dust Company Headquarters in an attempt to recover Weiss' lost love. However, no matter how perfect the clone may be to the original, it does not have the same effects as to the original. The clone doesn't know what its original counterpart went through in her life, only what Weiss Schnee fed into her memories artificially.
It does not know who itself is. Only what it's been told to be.
