Probably that she's so on edge from everything but has been bottling it up for the sake of being the moral foundation for the group now that Ozpin is no longer in that role.

I'm not getting into another Ozma vs. RWBYQ debate right now, I am literally saying that Ozma/Ozpin is just as worked up/unstable as everyone else right now, meaning he can't be the moral pillar of the group.

In fact, lets play: NAME THE EMOTIONAL TURMOIL! Where we list each character and what exactly their emotional hangups are! Refrain from listing the reveal about Salem being unkillable and the Apathy as everyone suffered from that!

Ruby: Being the Emotional Pillar of the Team, watching her Uncle spiral further into depression and alcoholism, nearly having her friends die in front of her 'again. '

Weiss: Having to return to an abusive household she just escaped from.

Blake: Worry over Adam still being on the loose, reconciling with Yang.

Yang: Frustration with Ozpin, PTSD, feelings over Raven, feelings regarding Blake.

Qrow: Multiple friends dying possibly in vain, learning the man who made him feel like he's worth something is not who he thought he was, alcoholism, being betrayed by one of his only two blood relatives left alive, grief over his semblance.

Oscar: Realizing he is just the latest in a long line of hosts for Ozma, having to suffer the pain and grief directed at Ozma even if everyone is fine with him, being a 14 year old thrust into being a huntsman without the proper training the others got.

Maria: Having been a SEW, suddenly learning that Humanity is on its second go around, being thrust into the mess with Salem vs. Ozma so suddenly, learning the Gods are real, learning there's another SEW in her group, feeling she's getting older and losing her edge.
