"Boop." Nora's hand fell back to her side as her body went limp. Ren's lips quivered as emotions began to overwhelm. Tears rolled down his face.

"Nora?! Please no!" Ren cried out his voice breaking. The once happy-go-lucky girl now lay there motionless. He rested his forehead against Nora's gently. He cradled her body against his as he sobbed.

"Nora wake-up please. You can't leave me!" Ren shouted.

"Ren. Hey what's wrong?" Pyrrha asked.

"Calm down Ren. Everything is going to be alright," Jaune said. Ren looked up around him except he couldn't see them. They sounded far away.

"Ren. It's okay. I'm awake."

Ren opened his eyes then sat up.

"Good you're awake. Look at me Ren. I'm fine you see," Nora said gently. The dark-haired teenage male looked sideways. Tears stained his cheeks; his forehead was sweaty plus he was shaking. Nora stood beside his bed along with Jaune and Pyrrha. Their faces shared the same concerned expression. Nora more so.

"Nightmare got the best of you. Relax Ren, okay? I'm right here." Nora smiled at him softly. She sat down on the edge of the bed, the mattress sunk a little under her weight. Ren looked at her as she reached over to wipe the tears off his face. Nora crawled closer to him to wrap her arms around him tightly. Ren returned her embrace feeling himself relax finally.

"You feel better?" Nora whispered. Ren nodded.

"Yes. Thank you, Nora. Now I'm the one paranoid about our mission. I don't want anything bad to happen."

"I'll make sure to stay by your side the whole time if that makes you feel better. Nothing bad will happen alright?" Nora said in reassurance. Ren smiled.
