Gundam Legilis wrote: Who wants to bet that by the time Salem learns her lesson, she outright refuses the choice to die and instead appreciates the goodness of life as opposed to using death to escape her pain? It's the opposite of the hero refusing to bring back a loved one. One possibility that occurs to me is that, if:


 * 1) The Maiden powers are somehow associated with her daughters' souls;
 * 2) Team RWBY end up bearing those powers;

Then, when the time of the final battle comes, she may not be able to fight the four women who carry her little girls' essences inside of them. All she can do is beg her little girls for forgiveness. Something tells me that, no matter how sceptical the others are, Ruby will insist on showing the woman mercy when it is clear that she is surrendering to them.
