One symptom. She has shown one minor symptom. That does not mean she has PTSD.

Meanwhile, let's compare her to Yang, who had flashbacks (while awake! Not dream flashbacks, actual trauma flashbacks!) after something as simple as dropping a glass.

Right now, it's much more likely that Yang has PTSD, not Ruby.

Now, why would dropping and breaking a glass remind Yang of the incident with Adam? Eh.. Sometimes, PTSD triggers can be obvious things and sometimes they're seemingly random. The human psyche works in strange ways. So, let's study the event and what could possibly connect the breaking glass to it.


 * The cafeteria had a lot of broken glass in it from the windows.


 * The falling glass could've reminded her of seeing her arm fall to the floor or something.


 * That feeling of being unable to stop the glass from falling could've reminded her of the feeling she had when she realized she couldn't stop Adam.


 * Loud noise. (Though, granted, soldiers with PTSD react to loud gun-like noises for obvious reasons, hence why fireworks are such an issue for them)


 * Probably other possibilities I can't think of...
