FWIW, Pyrrha's ritual invocation when unlocking Jaune's aura, combined with that odd comment to Cinder about Destiny makes me wonder if she somehow disembodied her aura at the very last moment and will be back as an 'Aura Ghost', possibly to help train Ruby on the road.

If I'm right, and RT handle it smart, it won't be initially clear. Ruby will just suddenly get suspiciously good at hand-to-hand and will be very freaked out about it, talking to the rest of RJRN about 'hearing a voice' or 'feeling like someone is guiding my movements'. It will start slow burn and, hopefully, at the mid-volume fight scene, we will hear Pyrrha shouting a warning as someone sneaks up behind Ruby. We won't see the 'Aura Ghost' until the end of the volume.

I'm undecided about who could see her; a part of me wants it to be only Ruby because, somehow, Pyrrha entwined her aura with Ruby's. That could be funny with Jaune, Ren and Nora worrying if Ruby is snapping under the strain due to the one-sided conversations they occasionally catch her having. It could be bittersweet if Jaune believes her and, with Ruby as intermediary, he and Pyrrha make their peace with each other.
