Yeah, I can totally see coming to terms with Pyrrha's death, moving on and finding new love and all that being a big part of Jaune's character development from here. It'll probably play a big part in Volume 4 at least. It's the "standard" direction they would go, and Rooster Teeth has already gone there, what with Church saying "I forget you" to Tex instead of "I love you". Letting someone's memory define you is kind of what set the Director down the path he took. I get that Ruby being there to help him through it could lead into them being paired together.

Learning how to accept someone's death and move on and not let it break you is the perfect lesson to teach, to an audience that seems so far into denial that they're literally creating petitions to bring Pyrrha back.

All the same, I don't think they need to follow the "standard" path. They've already shown that not all characters get a happy, uplifting ending where everything is resolved with a pretty little bow. It'll be interesting if they did something different for Jaune, even if it's the "wrong" choice.
