And if she called that's what any of her friends would ask. Er... Did you guys all seriously gloss over this bit? I think it'd help KNN understand if someone pointed out that Blake literally cannot call them, even if she wants to. The CCT is down, remember? The CCT is how kingdoms communicated with each other. Without the CCT, people are only able to communicate locally, if there are radio towers nearby.

The opening shows Blake on a ship, so she's probably usually not near radio towers. It also shows her orb heading to Menagerie, which never had CCT support towers in the first place and thus, no communication with the rest of the world even when the CCTs were all working.

So, why not write a letter? Winter mentioning letters from Weiss shows that snailmail still exists in their world. Well... I don't know if she could bring herself to write a letter to Yang. She may still feel horrible and blame herself for Yang's arm getting cut off. What about Weiss? We don't know if Blake knows that Weiss was taken back to Atlas. Jaune, Nora, and Ren? She doesn't know where any of them live, nor that they're traveling to Mistral with Ruby, nor that Ruby isn't home. She probably wouldn't even write a letter to Ruby in fear that Yang would see it.
