KINO it is then.

I wouldn't make those judgements just yet though. As genre-savvy as you are KINO, I have noticed you have a terrible judge of character when it comes to the characters on this show (Adam, Blake, Jaune, Cardin, etc.), and I don't say it in mean spirit.

Yang is broken from her experiances, and the world collapsing around her is taking a toll on her once adventerous spirit to see it. Without an arm, she doesn't feel like it she can do anything (and even when she did have an arm, she went and got it cut off. The friend she tried to save had to drag her out of there). When offered a chance to have an arm, she still doesn't feel like she's ready, she needs more than an arm, she needs her will back. She's not selfish or a coward, she's just a girl who's confused and lost in a post-Beacon world. She doesn't know if she wants to leave, knowing all the bad things happening. Not to mention the one person who could have gotten her out of her funk earlier, her partner, has left her behind to fend for herself. Sure she's stewing, but that's where Tai needs to come in to give her a push.

Blake too is lost in the world, and the only place she can think of going now is back home. She doesn't know what to do. Going after the White Fang is going after Adam, and Adam is on a warpath of making Blake's life miserable, and doesn't want anything to do with that. She still has a psycho-somatic wound from her ordeal from Adam and wants to just get her mind off things. But no matter what she does, she still hears the White Fang breathing down her neck. Sun however is there and is trying to do his best to cheer her up and bring a little light for her see things in.

Once their mental problems are resolved they can think farther ahead. But if they try to do things without being mentally prepared, they'll just end up like Agent Carolina, deranged and insecure, trying to accomplish a mission and solve their mental problem at the same time, and being unable to. No matter how much they know they have to focus on the mission (a mission only Ruby is available for, mentally and physically), the trauma will just get in the way.
