Heya! I guess the discussion title sums up the topic pretty well, but if you all were in charge of writing the first scene of RWBY Volume 7, how would you choose to do so?

Personally, I'd love to open this Volume with a clearly darker tone, given the gravity of the incoming situation. I'd choose go just dive into a flashback of Cinder's backstory with no explanation given, similar to how Solo: A Star Wars story introduced the titular character, Han. Bonus points if they included an opening crawl similar to the movie - Solo's seems to fit the character very well based on what we know of Cinder. Here's a slightly changed version as a comparison:

"It is a lawless time. Crime Syndicates compete for resources - food, medicine and Dust. On the scoundrel Kingdom of Haven, the foul Malachite forces runaways into a life of crime in exchange for shelter and protection. On these mean streets, a young girl fights for survival, but yearns to be among the stars...﻿"
