and the second half of #1 just randomly started in V5-6. This is just plain wrong.

On Yang's side, the only reason she went to Mistral in the first place was for Ruby, and she didn't even think of Blake until that scene where she was drinking coffee with Weiss and Ruby.

Even then, she only cared about Blake in the sense that she didn't want to see her again out of resentment (which was absolutely justified), completely changed her mind after a small talk with Weiss where Weiss made blind assumptions about Blake, talked about her childhood as if it was anything comparable, and overall just told Yang to forgive Blake "cause she's our friend". And even then she didn't say a single word about Blake for the rest of the season.

On Blake's side, she felt sad about running away like she did, but mostly in regards to Yang. Which is perfectly understandable since Yang herself had told her about her abandonment issues, so Blake would have a fair idea of how much she might've hurt her.

And then comes Vol.6, where saying "Yang only cares about Blake" or vice-versa is still wrong. Blake tries hard to fix things with Yang, sure, but that's less because she only cares about Yang and more because Yang is the only one she has any real issues with. And Yang herself only really thinks of Blake when Blake is being a tryhard friend (and when she was in danger).
