Question to pose: How long do you think the time between Volume 5 and 6 will be? An hour? A day? A week?

Will they be in Atlas at the beginning of Episode 1 or at the end of Episode 1, or even at halfway through the volume? Etc.

There are some things that I didn't quite get closure on that I was looking for, such as "Are Ilia and/or Sun following them to Atlas?" "Is Cinder dead-dead?" I feel like those are things the first episode would answer. Like... we would see the Maiden powers fly up from the vault's chasm. Maybe not where they would go, but at least "Yes, Cinder is an important enough character that we will get a visual confirmation."

Personally, I don't think the timeskip will be that long. I think they're gonna take an airship (like what Weiss had between V4-5) to Atlas and that will make the time cut very short in comparison to Blake's boat ride. In turn, it wouldn't take much time narratively, and they'd be in Atlas somewhere within Episode 1.
