*The Beacon cafeteria thrums with conversation, but the mood fractures as mocking laughter slices through. Team CRDL encircles Velvet, their taunts bouncing off the walls. Cardin yanks her long rabbit ears, forcing a pained gasp from her, while Russel sneers at her distress. Nearby, Teams RWBY and JNPR watch in silent tension: Pyrrha's face hardens with revulsion, Blake's gaze sharpens like knives toward the bullies, and Yang leans forward, her expression heavy with sympathy. Velvet scrambles to her feet, head bowed low to conceal her burning cheeks, and flees the cruel scene, unaware of the witnesses who saw her shame unfold.*
