Weiss Schnee stood in her elegantly decorated room, surrounded by opulence and grandeur that marked her as a member of the Schnee family, one of the most influential and wealthy in all of Remnant. However, despite the luxurious trappings of her life, she often felt a sense of isolation and loneliness that seemed to accompany her wherever she went.
Her icy blue eyes were fixed on the small box that sat on her bed, a box that contained a treasure trove of letters. Each one represented a connection she had formed with a person she had never met in person, yet someone who had become a dear friend, perhaps even a confidant. It was a relationship forged through the written word, a unique bond that transcended the boundaries of time and space.
Weiss carefully placed the newly received letter in the box that held all the others, and as she did, a sense of warmth enveloped her. It was a box filled with the musings, thoughts, and shared emotions of a dear friend, a friend she had never met but had grown to cherish. A smile played on her lips as she glanced over the neatly stacked letters, each representing a moment of connection and understanding in her life.
Her gaze lingered on the box, almost like a treasure chest of cherished memories and budding friendship. She couldn't help but wonder about Jaune, the person behind those heartfelt words. What were his dreams, his aspirations, his challenges? The mystery only deepened her curiosity and strengthened their unique bond.
As she stood before her reflection, Weiss contemplated revealing her name in the next letter she sent. It felt like the right time to bridge that gap, to take one step closer to the friend she had found in Jaune. He had recently disclosed his name in his last letter, a gesture of trust that she found endearing. The thought brought a playful gleam to her eyes, and she nodded to her reflection with determination.
"Maybe I'll tell him my name in the next letter I send him," Weiss said softly to herself, her finger lightly tapping her cheek as if sealing the promise. And then, with a sudden burst of enthusiasm, she added, "I definitely will."
Her reflection smiled back at her, and Weiss couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment. She had found a friend, a confidant, in the most unexpected of places, and it was a reminder that she was not alone in her struggles. There was someone out there who cared, who listened, and who shared in her journey.
"Guess I'm not the loneliest of them all," she whispered, her voice filled with a newfound hope. It was a comforting thought, one that would continue to inspire her as she penned more letters to Jaune, her dear friend.
A sudden thought came to her. "I cannot believe it's almost been a year since we started writing to each other," she thought out loud, a trace of wonder in her voice. It was astonishing how a year of exchanging letters with a stranger had become such a significant part of her life.
She imagined the passage of time as pages turning in a book, each letter a chapter in their evolving friendship. It was a story she cherished, one filled with understanding, empathy, and a sense of camaraderie that had helped her through some of her darkest moments.
"In a year," Weiss continued, her voice carrying a note of determination, "I'll be in a Huntsman academy, and I'll become someone worthy of the Schnee name." The weight of her family's legacy had always been a formidable burden, but she had resolved to carry it with honor and make her own mark on the world.
With a thoughtful smile, she considered Jaune's aspirations. "Jaune said he wants to become a Huntsman to make his family proud," she mused. "Maybe I'll ask him what academy he's pining for." It was a question that had been lingering in her mind for some time now. Knowing more about Jaune's goals and dreams would bring them even closer, she believed. Maybe they could even be on the same team.
Weiss couldn't help but entertain the exciting prospect of teaming up with Jaune. The idea of combining her incredible knowledge and adept skills with his kind words and obvious strength, as hinted at in his letters, painted a vivid picture of an unstoppable duo. Together, they could complement each other's strengths and cover each other's weaknesses, forging a partnership that could achieve remarkable feats.
In her mind's eye, she envisioned the two of them standing back-to-back on the battlefield, their synergy unmatched. Jaune's unwavering support and determination would bolster her confidence, while her precision and finesse with the blade would provide the backbone of their offense. It was a dynamic that had the potential to become a force to be reckoned with.
Of course, she couldn't forget about the other teammates who would complete their team. Remnant's strongest team indeed! Weiss imagined a group of individuals, each with their own unique talents and abilities, coming together to form a formidable unit. Their teamwork, trust, and camaraderie would be the foundation of their success.
As she pondered this exciting future, Weiss couldn't help but feel a surge of motivation. The idea of joining a Huntsman team, especially one as promising as the one she envisioned, filled her with a sense of purpose. It was a future she was determined to work toward, and she believed that with Jaune by her side, they could achieve greatness together.
With renewed resolve, Weiss decided to include her thoughts about their potential partnership in her next letter to Jaune. She knew that sharing her aspirations and dreams with him would only strengthen their bond, bringing them one step closer to becoming the unstoppable pair they both surely envisioned.
As she closed the box of letters, Weiss felt a sense of gratitude wash over her. She was no longer alone in the world, sure, Winter was great and she loved her older sister, but she didn't share the same goal as her. The goal of becoming a Huntress, Jaune understood her goal. With him the future held the promise of friendship, adventure, and the fulfillment of their shared dreams. With each letter, their connection grew stronger, and the prospect of Remnant's strongest team felt closer than ever before, surely it will be anything but.
As she carefully closed the lid of the box, she couldn't help but feel a sense of sanctuary in its presence. Those letters were her solace, a reminder that there was someone out there who truly understood her, even if they had never met.
But for now, there were more immediate concerns. Her upcoming concert weighed heavily on her mind. With a weary groan, she acknowledged the challenge that lay ahead. "Uhhh," Weiss groaned to herself, her frustration evident. It was a sentiment she had shared with Jaune in her letters, a place to vent when the weight of her world became too much to bear.
"I'll have to vent to Jaune about it," she decided. His words had always been a source of comfort, a balm for her troubled soul. She knew that confiding in him, even through letters, would provide some relief from the pompous expectations that often surrounded her performances.
The audience's intentions were clear to her. They weren't there to appreciate her talent and hard work; they were merely seeking to get in her father's good books. It was a reality she had become all too familiar with, and it stung every time she felt her artistry overshadowed by her family's influence.
With a final groan, Weiss pushed aside her frustration and tucked the box of letters securely under her bed. She felt safe leaving her heartfelt words and shared thoughts there. Klein, her loyal and trustworthy butler, was the only one who knew about them, and she trusted him implicitly. He would never betray her trust by revealing her personal correspondence to her father.
With that final thought, Weiss turned her attention to the preparations for her performance. She knew that she had a duty to fulfill, regardless of the motivations of her audience. Her talent was a part of her, a gift she had honed through years of hard work and dedication. And on that stage, she would give her all, not for the pompous attendees, but for herself and the love of her craft.
As she began to practice and fine-tune her performance, the notes of her music filled the room, a testament to her determination and her unwavering commitment to her own path. And through the music, she found a momentary escape from the pressures of her world, a respite that allowed her to momentarily forget the weight of her family name and the expectations it carried.
