^But sometimes in stories when someone says "They left and never came back" it can be seen as 50/50. Just because Yang (who may have been just repeating what she was told) said it doesn't mean it's set in stone. As for the grave, maybe that's where she was last seen and made it to give some sense of false closure.

Also, keep in mind that writers can lie and even twist the truth around. They can say "Summer died but was reborn as Darth Rose or something."

The point is that sometimes we shouldn't take things as face value because again, a writer can lie and twist it around.

If Summer is alive then she needs a VERY good explanation that is different than Raven's (who I just think didn't want to settle down and be a mother) as to why she never told Ruby or anyone else that she was alive. She could be working undercover for the Queen and that her 'sacrifice' was to stay dead.

If Summer is dead then I would like to know how it happened. Was she overrun by Grimm? Was the sacrifice her own choice or was she put in a position in which she had no choice but to make the sacrifice? Was SHE a pawn for someone to claim the victory for themselves? Either way it's good development for Ruby because at some point she's going to face the dark reality of being a Huntress. She will die on a mission sooner or later. She will have to make hard decisions that may involve sacrificing herself or a teammate. She will learn that not all huntsman have the same agenda as her. She will be a pawn from someone who wants to claim victory for her own. In short, Ruby will have to wake up from her fantasy and face reality.
