2. And it doesn't matter that Pyrrha and Penny weren't killed by the White Fang, their deaths are a dirrect conseqence of those puppeteering the White Fang of Vale. They died because the White Fang became a mercenary force, and she didn't stop that from happening in the first place 1. Not really? Literally the only time he mentioned Yang in all of Volume 4 was just the once when he was telling Blake that Yang would also do what she did again if it meant protecting Blake, just like him. He only mentioned Yang one single time in Volume 4, so it's a huge exaggeration to say "in Vol 4, he keeps bringing her up".

2. It still makes sense that she's more torn up about the incident that happened directly because of her. She had absolutely zero direct conneciton to Pyrrha and Penny's deaths. She did not directly cause either of those. It is not her fault that the White Fang started following Cinder and attacked Beacon. Meanwhile, it was directly, specifically because of Blake alone that Yang lost her arm.

Blake ran away because she felt that her friends being near her would lead to them getting hurt by White Fang members. Her train of thought was not "I didn't stop the White Fang from becoming a mercenary force, so this is my fault." Her train of thought was "Yang tried to protect me from Adam, and that got her hurt. Adam was doing that to hurt me. Therefore, it's my fault, and it's dangerous for my friends to be anywhere near me." This train of thought is brought up again when Ilia hurts Sun. Blake even says "not again" while putting pressure on his wound.
