I didn't expect Ruby to have a brand new special power. It felt a bit DEM, but there was enough loss to balance it out.

I didn't think Yang would take it like this.

It looks like the story is going to branch from here.

We've lost Penny, Cinder, and Roman, without any hint of their possible return, and Pyrrha is definitely lost. That's the narritive. She probably didn't expect to come back and sure enough she didn't. I was just keeping continuity. Unless she pulls a Princess Yue/Cosmo/OtherSpiritLoveInterest and kiss Jaune as a ghost/hallucination.

I would definately love the outdoorsmen path this next volume's gonna take, just wandering the wilderness, probably helping people along the way. And yeah, Yang was crushed, if anything her innocence was lost, she can't afford to be the happy go lucky bruiser anymore. I imagine Raven's gonna feed off of her negativity and instill some of her own detached values if they meet (unless Yang ends up cheering up, or becoming a Knight in Sour Armor in the end, possibly after seeing Ruby and how she's coping).
