User blog:Zathronas/Analysis by an author: Volume 2 episode 6: Burning the Candle

Hello and welcome to analysis by an author.

Wow! I've been clamouring for exposition for almost a year now and we sure got it in this episode! So let's dive right in shall we?

We start with a depressed Ruby who has no Idea how to deal with Blake and her obsession. Yang assures her she would be there. The preparations for the dance are pretty much complete, all that's left is who will be there with whom.

Okay, anyone who has a cat must have found the red laser hilarious. Yang sure knows how to get Blake's attention. But what comes next brings me so much satisfaction and made me realize something important. More on this later.

We see Jaune as clueless as ever trying to learn the secret to get Weiss to take him seriously from a very silent Ren he gets his wish when Pyrrha explains that he needs to be himself. Poor Pyrrha!

We get back to Yang telling Blake that she needs to slow down or people around her might get hurt. She tell her THE story we've been waiting for as an example.

When Summer Rose died, Yang learns from her father that her mother wasn't Summer but the fourth member in her father's team which included Summer and Qrow. He didn't tell her much but one day she found a picture of her that gave her a clue on her whereabouts. She waited until her father left, put little Ruby in a wagon and left to find her mother. She was exhausted when she finally found the place. What greeted her wasn't her mother but Beowulfs and the only reason Ruby and her lived was because Qrow found them in time.

Okay, I won't give the explain here but that told me one thing. Cinder is Yang's older sister with no relation to Ruby. You'll have to wait for my next speculative author for my reasoning here.

Jaune once again finishes second when Yang ask Neptune out for the dance while Blake who looks like she finally got some sleep meets Sun before he got to the dance. Ruby looks cute in her dress and uncomfortable in high heels. She meets Ozpin who tells her what he's been saying pretty much every time we see him in volume 2. Cherish every seconds with friends because you might lose them in the future. Considering Yang's tale, he might be right. Foreshadowing much?

We finish with Mercury and Emerald entering the dance like cat ready to pounce.

Wow! So much to speculate, so little time!
