I don't know. The RT team seem alittle more aware of tropes then your average comicbook or action movie writer. And certainly they're more invested in the story then most script writers are.

As to the characters themselves. Sun is happy-go-lucky enough that it may never ocur to him, though I think it'd bum him out if someone brought it to his attention, nothing more then that though. Blake... I don't know how Blake would react. I kinda feel she might already have blood on her hands. It depends on whether the train job in the black trailer was the first time she was called on to kill or just the point where she finally drew the line. Perhaps her earlier victims were more deserving: actual guards fighting back (not everyone can afford robot guards after all), or maybe horribly racist assholes. If that's the case then it'll hit her really hard or not very hard at all, could go either way. Whichever way, anger would probably be the route her upset would take rather then sadness.

If it was say Ruby, I have no doubt it'd hit her like a ton of bricks. Believing she was responsible for an innocent's death (rightly so or not) would crush her. Weis would probably be upset, but not devastated. Yang... I'm not sure how Yang would react in that situation. Sadened certainly, but how upset beyond that, I don't know. We just don't know enough about her character yet.

Well, Ruby and Weiss had basically nothing to do with it so they would have less to be upset about. I think if Weiss were in some way responsible for someone innocent dying that she would have a mental breakdown. Ruby would have a serious problem with it due to her hero code, but she would more readily find fault with Torchwick.
