2) Cinder is not dead. If you think she is then you must be one of those people who actually thought there was a .00000000000001% chance Weiss was actually going to die in V5.

3) Cinder is not going to be thinking of her tools at a time like this. And that's all Emerald is to Cinder. A tool to be used and discarded at her discretion. (I do not mena  to sound rude or mean or anything negitive as you read this. I am sorry if I do at any point in time.)

First, I didn't really think Weiss was going to die. She's one of the main characters they can't kill her off. I figured she might end up severely injured, or someone with a really good healing semblance would show up, but not die.

and Cinder was basically turned into a statue of ice and fell a thousand feet. and even if she somehow didn't shatter from the fall, being instantaneously turned into ice like that, especially after the body being so used to heat because she was using fire every five seconds, it would have put her into enough shock that it would have stopped her heart. it's the basic same principle that happens when you put a glass cup into steaming hot water, let it sit and adjust, and then when you take it out it shatters. my brother did that once washing dishes. (I may be a slightly bit off on that theory so I will check with someone who know's what they're talking about before I say that is a complete fact.) I think she's dead. plus, the power of the Fall maiden disappeared from her eye just before she was turned to ice. My guess is that it started to transfer just before she was turned to ice, sensing her impending death. Heck even if she wasn't turned to ice, I doubt even a Maiden would have survived that fall. Ozpin, maybe. Wizard. But not a maiden. they were human to start out with, that's the only reason I say that.
