And as for the walking bit, they never said that was like, the day after Summer died. It could've been years. Yang said she herself was "too tired to cry for help", nothing about Ruby.

And, again, if Ruby could not talk nor remember Summer, she could not be torn up about Summer's death. Yang said Ruby was too young to talk when Summer died when she spoke about it in V5. The second half of that is exactly my point. She's not torn up about Summer's death because she's shown literally no signs of it. Same with Penny and Pyrrha. Talking about being said isn't being sad. You can be sad without always seeming like it. I recently had a friend die and, though I'm still sad about it, I don't focus on it all the time nor am I sad 24/7. My cousins lost both of their parents in quick succession a couple of years ago and, though they still miss them and wish they were around, they are happy now and you wouldn't guess from looking at them that they had lost their parents. Ruby has seemed to genuinely want Summer around and in scenes like when Ruby watches Jaune train (V4C2) or when they reference Pyrrha in regards to Jaune's new armor (V4C1) you can see she's sad. Keep in mind that it had been eight months since the fall of Beacon by volume 4 which is enough time for a hopeful character like Ruby to at least push forward. It doesn't mean she's completely over it, it just means she has pulled herself together enough to move forward.
