Perhaps we can move away from Ren and Nora to talk about Ruby and Jaune.

I think that this is the first time that Ruby has shown vulnerability before someone else (other than a mentor figure). I suspect that this proves just how much she trusts Jaune and just how deeply everything that has happened has affected her. It's kind of nice that Jaune has been able to partly pay her back for her being there for him at his darkest moment. Maybe we're now beginning to see why Monty gave what seemed like a comedy character such importance back in volume 1?

That aside, I really, really want to know why Pyrrha was so important to Ruby. In volumes 1-3 she's never more than a friend at most. We only need a passing mention but I'd like to know what was happenin between them. Did RWBY and the JNPR girls hang out a lot? Did Pyrrha and Ruby bond over the desire to be normal girls with normal knees?
