@OP

You might be onto something, Anakin didn't go through the hell Yang did in the second half of Volume 3: humiliated at the tournament, distrusted by her own partner, learning her own mother won't bail her out when she's in a pinch again, watching Penny die, seeing Beacon brought to ruins, getting maimed by Adam while trying to save Blake, who then abandons her while she was comatose, and learning of Pyrrha's tragic demise. Little wonder Yang has become a hollow shell of her former self, and from what we've seen of Volume 4, she won't be recovering anytime soon, time will not heal her badly wounded heart.

And I fear, should either Emerald or Mercury (probably the former) fall, at that point Yang might be considered as a "replacement piece," so to speak. I can see Raven trying to woo her "misguided" daughter over to her way of thinking in time, either at the end of the Volume or in Volume 5. Now I hope I'm wrong on this, though considering Yang's current demeanor, I could see it happening. But we'll see.
