I agree that Blake was clearly sad when she left at the end of the Black Trailer.

My personal impression, going by the tone of Adam's voice when he calls her attention at the beginning of the trailer and her "I know." gave me the impression she had been considering leaving for a while and might have actually hinted it to him, actively talked with him about her concerns or he simply knew her well enough to figure it out. And the way Adam just knew to worry when he saw Blake standing in the last wagon when he turned around after finishing off the spider droid; I mean, he had ordered her to back off so there was no reason why he should have taken her being one wagon behind as a sign that she was about to desert, unless he already knew she had that intention hovering in her mind beforehand.

That said, my problem with Blake allowing herself to be convinced by Adam to return to the White Fang, regardless of how close they were (assuming they were close and not just strictly student-teacher), is that it was his willingness to kill the crew members of the train the drop the filled the glass and triggered her to finally leave for once. If my interpretation of their emotions during their short interchange at the beginning of the trailer is correct, Blake might have only been still there for that mission because of him and when he disappointed her, she was left with no reason to continue doing things she didn't want to do.

That said, I personally, would find it more interesting if, when Adam returns, he turns out to have too deflected the White Fang and is now a "anti-humans" or "extremist pro-faunus" wild card. I have two theories on what could prompt him to deflect the White Fang after Blake left:

a) because of Blake herself. Let's assume they were close and that the closeness went both ways and that I'm nailing it when I say he was deeply emotionally affected when she said goodbye at the end of the trailer.

Enter super crack theory!

Blake said "one could say she was practically born into the White Fang". Maybe her parents weren't members of the White Fang. Maybe she lost her parents at a young age and was taken in by someone who was a member of the White Fang, say Adam.

Since I'm about this, her parents deaths might have been very well linked to the "controversial labor forces".

I have seen people say that the SDC is rather innocent next to the White Fang who are known to have committed murders while the SDC underpays faunus workers at worst. I think that is a poor interpretation of "controversial labor forces". When I hear those words and put it together with the idea of "civil rights protests" and "shops refusing service" in base of race still being a thing in their society (don't get me started on the war triggered because said race was to be caged in a small island isolated from the rest of the world) I have to remember why any half decent country in our world has laws to ensure companies have their workers wearing proper protection, obliging them to provide medical insurance and forbidding hiring children or pregnant women being fired due to being pregnant. I think people sometimes miss that unequal job conditions isn't only a lower salary, it means unsafe working conditions and unsafe working conditions KILL people or can leave them mentally or physically disabled for life.

b) because of the alliance with Torchwick, Cinder&co. In my book, being willing to cold bloody killing innocent by standers speaks of a hate for the human race, a very deep hate. Adam might very well have deflected to continue hating humanity on his own before working with an openly racist guy like Torchwick.
