Agreed. Ruby didn't show up untill the Paladin was already out of a civilian area (Well, there were no civilians arround, so it counts) and Weiss is the one who got it there. They won't have worries about who died - outside of being sad that people died, of course - because they did all they could.

Blake and Sun could blame themselves for leading it through the highway... Many would argue "What choice did they have?" - which I get. But if it turns out they were "responsible" for civilian deaths, they're not going to want to accept an excuse, and will blame themselves, even if it wasn't their fault. Which, of course, leads to a "getting over guilt" plot arc where their teams help them through it. Cliche, yes, but we are talking about RWBY here.

Then again, Sun seems like he'd accept the excuse readily. It's not that he'd be without guilt, of course, just that he'd see it was Torchwick's fault, and that he himself is not to blame.

Blake's an... emotionally invested person. We saw how much she was willing to give up just to save a few innocents in Black... how would she react if she unknowingly caused the deaths of about 30 people?

... the abovementioned plot arc would work really well for her.
