P.S. most of the discussion happens on discord now. The forums are pretty dead. I mean, I assumed it was just that there is often a dry spell between Volumes.

Anyway, one thing I wanted to talk about is Blake's brief interaction with Adam. They're pretty vague in their conversation and so we assume Blake is talking about something Adam did, but are we to assume this was the first time Adam had killed someone on a mission with Blake? She already seemed to be aware of his history, though even there it was not as if she was only talking about something Adam had done. Honestly, doesn't even make sense why he would feel a need to apologize to Blake if it was just something he did either.

What also isn't clear is the timeframe. In Volume 3 it was implied Cinder recruited Adam right after the mission in the Black Trailer and after that point it appears he is running the White Fang side of things in Vale. So Sienna would seemingly have appointed Adam as head of the Vale branch before the Black Trailer. My initial impression was that Blake's interaction with Adam is right before the Black Trailer, but now it would seem more as if this was a while before she left the White Fang. How long before is another question and whether this was meant to be their first confrontation over it.
