Yeah the lyrics to RLR part 2 point to a "sacrifice" on the second singer's part, which I think could be Summer's having to leave everyone behind. And as for the part where the lyrics talk about more people needing her (The second singer) than just Ruby (The first singer) I think that might point to Cinder thinking that in the long run she will have helped save everyone from something as yet unseen. Mercen has a good point about Cinder maybe just not focusing on Ruby so much as Glynda, since Glynda was a bigger threat at the time.

As for Plague, Monty has stated very clearly in the past that neither Ruby nor Yang were adopted, they are blood related. To be fair he did not say for sure if they are sisters, all we know is that they think of themselves as sisters.

I still have not been able to find out if Monty debunked the theory that Cinder and Ruby are related. To be fair, we really have no concrete evidence either way of Cinder and Summer being the same person or not, or even of them being connected in any way. It's just from my POV there seems to be a lot of theoretical "evidence" pointing to them being the same person.

As for Plague's question about the Queen, it's very interesting. I never thought of the Queen as anyone but Cinder, but it could actually be someone else, I just have no idea who. As for the King, if we think of it as a chess game:

-Normally the Queen protects the King.

-The Queen has a better moveset (Is more powerful) than the King

-There is a Queen and King on both sides

Assuming the Queen is Cinder, the only person on her side that seems to be a big enough character is Roman, but since she orders him around I dont see that being a very plausible theory. The King could be a character that hasn't even been introduced yet. If we continue with the theme that this is a chess game, I think that Ozpin and Glynda would be King and Queen on their side, respectively. And the chess pieces in Players and Pieces? Maybe symbolism for RWBY, JNPR, CRDL, and Velvet's team being "moved around" by Ozpin. Pieces on Cinder's side would have to be her aquiring the help of White Fang, Roman and his crew, and Mercury and Emerald. I don't want to get too deep here, but now that i think about it, Volume One could symbolize the Pieces being chosen and set in place, and Volume Two could Symbolize the beginning of the game (The fighting mentioned in Time To Say Goodbye). But that is all speculation since we know almost nothing about Volume Two outside of what we gather from these lyrics.
