Lanse reddened a bit again as the girl took his hand. They proceeded through the forest, and as they went, the boy could see the light of Beacon's tower flickering through the trees. They were headed in the right direction at least. A shrill cry echoed through the woods, and Lanse gulped and squeezed her hand tighter.

It was extremely dark out, but even so, Lanse could make out subtle movements underneath the girl's cap. ''She's leading me through the woods without any problems at all. Could...could she be a Faunus?''

At that moment, a memory leapt unbidden from the recesses of his mind. He was younger, much younger and more innocent than he was now. He was being pulled down a small alleyway by a young girl, her white baseball cap tilted to the side...

At that moment, Lanse tripped over an exposed root that the girl had easily stepped over in the night. Letting go of her hand, he flailed his limbs in an attempt to keep his balance, but to no avail. He lurched forward and crashed into her, their bodies thumping to the ground in a tangled heap.
