In a dark room, we see a makeshift hospital bed. The woman from before is seen lying unconscious with several medical equipment near her.

She began stirring in her slumber until her eyes began to open. She slowly rose from the bed, squinting now and then. She looked around to see the void of darkness surrounding her and thought she was somewhere far different. Her calm demeanor became frantic as her gaze darted from one direction to the next.
???: W-Where am I?
Y/n: You're safe.
The woman yelped when she heard a voice, and the lights turned on. She saw a young man with a gentle smile sitting on a reversed chair with his hands resting on the backrest. The woman scooted away from him, pointing an accusatory finger at him.
???: W-Who are you!?
Y/n: Woah, hey, I'm not a threat... Well, I am... Just not to you.
The woman just looked at him weirdly, which he noticed.
Y/n: OK, I'll start from the beginning. My name is Y/n, and currently, you're in one of our many bases. We ran a minor operation to bail you out and get a little something for myself.
???: Bail me out? Professor Ozpin was going to save me.
Y/n: Save you? Is that what you think?
???: Why else would he put me in a cryo chamber? He bought me time while he figured out how to remove the Grimm infection.
Y/n: False. He bought time for himself while he looked for a... Suitable replacement.
???:... What?
Y/n: Sorry to say, Ms. Amber, but he never cared about you. The second you were in his possession, he already went looking for a replacement.
The woman with brown hair, now named Amber, was speechless, but she didn't stop him. He brought out a device that projected a hologram.
Y/n: According to the data that Silver Wolf nicked from, in her words, "a very shitty firewall." Their system repeatedly runs through every female student until they find the most suitable. It monitors their grades, combat prowess, and... Other stuff that should really place Ozpin in the deepest parts of hell. I mean, seriously, invasion of privacy? That goes on my list of reasons to kill the old man.
He managed to stop himself with his rant when he saw Amber not uttering a word. She stared at the projection in disbelief when she saw all those girls being controlled by what she now realizes is... A monster. It hurts more realizing she used to be one of those girls. She looked at the young man, who had a hint of sympathy in his eyes. She may have only met him, but there's something about his presence that... Calms her.
