The sort of cold / noble vigilante atmosphere is definitely one I enjoy. - Yeah, I can see that in these for sure. I remember CRWBY saying it was hard to figure out how to frame the explanation that Amber is really experiencing hallucinations.

- I definitely agree about the Yang sequence. The fact that she's not being dragged into the camp, has the bruised bandits in tow, there is a minute of Yang walking before Raven exits her tent all set to the guitar AND the shot of the shadows at the end. It all means there is a shift in power dynamic here. Normally, a lone person being escorted into a group's camp is a hostage or prisoner, but she is certainly the one in charge of the whole scene.

- "Raven's respects" shot- This was pretty sobering, yeah. Honoring Vernal after having won the fight was impactful.

- I think Cinder's line was mostly a foreshadowing or setup for the fact that Raven killed the former host, but it certainly played well into the two Maidens' dynamic. For once, yeah, Cinder was on comparatively immoral grounds with someone, and that's saying something for sure.

- Super pose! The fight was very well paced and seemed oddly even considering Pyrrha knew what she was up against. There was a certain gravity-of-the-situation with her.

My favorite moment with Pyrrha is also from End of the Beginning. Not the kiss with Jaune, but right after when she already has him in the locker and all you can see is her eyes. The intentional framing so that we can't see her expression as she sends him away makes the viewer unable to connect with her in that moment.
