Alex T Snow wrote: Roman being in a train car and Glenn's subway system really got me thinking. As I just mentioned, it seems obvious in hindsight that Adam and Blake's mission was to steal all that dust for Torchwick's operation (the charges were likely for the other parts of the train). This is more than a simple tie-in, however. Noteworthy is that Blake stayed silent when Weiss mentioned the train car; RWY don't know it was her.

When Weiss was talking about her life with her father and the SDC in The Stray, she specifically mentions that train car of dust being stolen, and while that's probably not an everything sort of thing of course, it's a bit specific (and sort of small) next to the other issues at hand. The very next thing she talks about is her father, with the not-so-subtle implication that he's been rather abusive. The White trailer follows this with the very common assumption that the fight is a metaphor, the knight is her father, and he gave her that scar.

So, since Weiss specifically mentioned the train car, then immediately her father's abuse, which we saw in the White trailer (Black and Yellow are plot related, now White could be more directly), what if the event that caused him to give her that scar was the train car being stolen? What if Blake was the reason she got the scar?

Weiss doesn't know Blake stole the train car, and Blake doesn't really know about Weiss being abused and where the scar came from, but what if it was all because of this? Now that both Blake and Weiss will likely realize why the car was stolen, and with Adam set to return (and reveal it was Blake), this could get very interesting, since it's actually personal on both sides, not just about the SDC and the WF. That's.... incredibly dark. And probably stretching it a little. Even if Weiss got her scar (from her father) around the same time the train car of Dust was stolen, and Weiss figures out that Blake was the one who stole it, I doubt she'd directly blame Blake for her father's abusive tendencies.... She vocally believes her father to be a corrupt man, she clearly doesn't trust/like him, and she's probably come to realize between 1x16 and now that her father is the way he is because he's a jerk, not because he's angry with the White Fang. Weiss now at least has a tiny bit of understanding of why the White Fang are the way they are, yet she still probably has no clue why her father treats her the way he does (assuming he is abusive, which it's starting to become more and more clear that he is in one way or another).

I wonder, though, if Weiss was the only one in her family to get the short end of the stick when it came to her father? She seemed pretty bitter about talking to her sister, too, so maybe her father really just doesn't like Weiss for some reason?

Okay, okay, I'm getting slightly off-topic, ending this rant now.
