Madman and I were talking about how Miles said that Ruby has been bottling everything up and Lindsay said that Ruby's mentality is "I don't have time for my emotions. I've gotta make sure everybody else is okay.", plus the fact that her cutting off Tyrian's stinger was oddly vicious for her. Though, it's not like she's starting to think that violence is the answer. Her bottled up emotions and desire to look after everyone else more than herself could cause her to lash out without meaning to.

We ended up saying it's possible and would be interesting if Ruby temporarily snapped and accidentally did something really bad that she wouldn't normally do and then, immediately after, is horrified at what just happened. Madman suggested her accidentally killing Watts. I couldn't help but imagine how the aftermath would go.

Ruby: *Backs away a little, eyes wide, maybe tearing up a little*

Jaune: Ruby?

Ruby: *Shakes her head a little*

Jaune: Ruby...

Ruby: *Quiet* It was an accident.

And then, with what Lindsay said about her mentality, Ruby would probably take a moment to get a hold of herself and

Ruby: Let's... let's go make sure Professor Lionheart is okay. *Starts to walk off*

Jaune: What?

Ren: *Grabs her arm or shoulder, prepared to make her address what just happened and how she's feeling*
