GOING BACK TO TOPIC:

I didn't expect Ilia's redemption arc to be that quick, but I'm glad she realized the error of her ways before she went down a darker path. Ilia's parents died while trying to give her a better life, so of course she knew they would've never approved of her been part of mass genocide, on both humans and Faunus alike.

Now, I think it was a well deserved punch in the gut for Raven back in Haven. Leo fully knows and admits he's helping Salem out of fear and no matter the front she puts, Raven did and is still doing the same thing as him: A coward retreat. Her tribe will NEVER be out of harm. If the world falls, she'll fall as well since she's lives in that same world.

It's quite ironic that both the man she hates and a young Faunus know that better than her.
