No, at that point I'd say Cinder would try to think only of herself, so no one else would get the power of the Fall Maiden. Sicne she's such a narcissist, I can see it happening. Though this won't be until Volume 8 or 9 or so, a long way off from where we are now. Though it'll be sweet to see her mighty breakdown, it'll be a long time coming.

As for Volume 4, I'd say Cinder will finally awaken during it, maybe in the after credit scene, and then come gunning for Ruby. Which will herald her fiery return to the scene in Volume 5.
