WG22

Cinder realizes she is ruined whatever happens.

In a fury she runs Jaune through.

Jaune slumps to the floor, shocked eyes meeting Neo's though he tries to whisper something to him, he cannot due to the blood. Neo's mind breaks at the image as she throws down her weapon and rushes to catch him as he falls to the floor. She holds him as he slowly dies - not even noticing Cinder attack her from behind.

Cinder's blade is stopped at the last moment, the clanging of steel - but Neo doesn't hear any of it. Just laying Jaune and down and cuddling up to the side of him. Some scene here where she closes her eyes with her head on his chest, smelling his scent even as he is dying.

"I will protect you. If by your passing we will be together then so be it, through this I will stay by your side for all eternity. Unbound by distance, laws or death our souls will stay together. I will protect thee."

She feels tired as she rests her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as it slows - until all she hears is silence.

[...]

The scene pans as they look at the scene. Jaune asleep in a hospital bed in a gown, with a heart monitor beeping strongly. And curled up next to him under the covers a pink-haired girl.

The two argue some more, with Nicholas saying if it wasn't for her Jaune would be dead, and it was only thanks to her somehow unlocking his aura that he lived.
