You can erase parts of a quote so that your post won't be quite so large. That's what I've been doing.

And I don't really know how to feel about the Semblance thing, though we have seen evidence that high amounts of negative emotion can cause someone to lose control of their Semblance. Pyrrha was experiencing emotional turmoil and, for a moment, accidentally used her Semblance to warp her weapon and shield. It's possible that, when Ruby was running from the Nevermore and Death Stalker in volume 1, she didn't use her Semblance because she was too scared to.
