Welp, seems fate wants Weiss to go back to Atlas sooner than expected, whether she wants to or not.

I'm so, SO GLAD Yang pointed all of Raven's traits to her face, it's been one of my major complaints since the latter half of the volume. She knows she's afraid of Salem, puts herself before others, knows being a Maiden puts a target not only on her back, but also on Yang (who decided to face Salem with pride) AND Salem will hunt her down without mercy. And when she said that Yang was "standing there, like a scared child", I said to myself "aren't you talking about yourself here?".

I can't help but feel a bit sorry for Raven nonetheless, she got all of this loneliness, bitterness and fear all upon herself and I couldn't help but gasp when I saw her crying and leaving afterwards. Both Yang and Raven feel sorry for the situation they're in, but none of them know how to build a new bridge between each other... at least for the time being. Not to mention Yang still doesn't have a true answer to the question that's been haunting her all of her life: "Why did you leave me?".

Now... am I the only one who thought it was a bit stupid leaving the vault with the Relic in hand, right to where the villains are? "I mean, sure, take the one thing you're supposed to protect right where all the ones who wants to steal it are and give it to them yourself, why don't you?!" I know the good guys had the upper hand, but they could've used the opening Emerald gave to them and steal it right there, that's not really smart thinking if you ask me.

The moment I saw Leo entering his office I knew he was gonna die, I said "You're gonna die" every 5 seconds because it was quite obvious.

I honestly don't think Blake will have it easy with the WF, but boy does she deserve a bit of rest after this volume (and we finally have From Shadows pt.2!). And the PC scene was both a bit underwhelming but kinda cute, as in "Yeah, I spoke shit about you... but I still think about you".

tl;dr A bit of deserved peace before anothere storm.
