Most of Blakes emotional highs and lows revolve around Yang or involve her indirectly, we cant say the same for Sun, no one is denying the blush, but that could mean any number of things, I am a firm believer that while blushes can be used as evidence, they cant stand up on their own or without a lot of additional context, in addition it could just mean she didn't fully realise how she felt about Yang at that point or that she feels for both of them, and was considering the safer relationship more, even if same sex relationships are accepted in Remnant, we don't know if the same holds true for Human-Faunus relationships, the racial tensions suggest that many people, human and faunus alike don't support it, even Sun's "and the best part is she's a faunus" coment may suggest this. Whats more is that this fits perfectly in Blake's character, especially before Vol 4 "Taking Control" one of her first instincts is always to run, this is another form of running. Months later with no contact, we can hear that leaving Yang and what happened to her is what hurts Blake the most. She ran because she couldn't handle the fact that Yang was 'hurt because of her,' getting injured or maimed and potentially losing a limb or being killed is part of the job they all signed up for, of the students in their class, Yang probably understood that better than anyone, and Blake knows Yang understands that better than anyone, being told the story about Summer Rose. Blake refused to forgive herself for Yang's decision to save her costing her an arm, if you recall, not only did Blake return the favor immediately after, but they live in a society where limbs are replaceable, it may be expensive (giving new meaning to costing an arm and a leg) but they are still replacable, the real damage isn't physical.

2 people whom Blake counted as friends DIED within the same 24hrs as Yang losing her arm, and yet, its Yang losing her arm that hurts Blake the most.
