2. Second, compounding this is that we're not sure exactly what time this episode is in; is it during the 6-8 months, around the time Ruby was fighting the gorilla in the character short? Or is it after? Besides, assuming it's after the 6-8 months, she's still suffering and hasn't made the slightest amount of peace with the fact, with emphasis on slightest (I'm aware that this memory will haunt her for the rest of her life), and yet, she can laugh it off as if nothing bad could happen to her.

3. I am aware that Qrow knows. I am smart to assume that Raven only sent off a looting party to Shion/Xione. It is not clear as to what the finest details went on once the Grimm arrived. Did the Grimm only attack the villagers? Or did they attack the entire looting party and left all except for Raven dead as well? The dying Huntsman's final words make no distinctions as to what happened next. That's a poor choice of words, because it implies, everyone, bandit or villager was killed when the Grimm set their sights.

If the entire looting party was dead from the raid, and it happens frequently, then yes, she is essentially damning the entire tribe with this hypothetical scenario, and the resulting failure rate, compared to other average bandit gangs. 1. PTSD isn't constant. It can come and go in waves, like anxiety problems. Which, to be honest, makes perfect sense, as PTSD is like an anxiety disorder.

2. Considering they said that volume 4 itself takes place 6-8 months after volume 3, I'm pretty sure this is taking place after the timeskip. And for all we know, Yang could've been a hell of a lot worse off months ago and could've made progress before we came back in.

3. There is nothing implying that the bandits raiding the village were killed off.

Dying Huntsman: (coughs) Bandits. The whole tribe… Then, with all the panic…

The Huntsman can’t finish and coughs repeatedly.

Ren: Grimm.

^ What the Huntsman is saying here is "We were attacked by an entire tribe of bandits. Then, with all the panic from the attack, Grimm showed up." Absolutely nothing about the bandits being wiped out.
