See, Ruby drinking the tea was heartbreaking to watch, and it took me a while to process it, but it didn't take NEARLY as long as it did when I watched Pyrrha's death for the first time. That scene took me, I kid you not, an ENTIRE WEEK, and maybe even LONGER, to fully process. I was quite literally DEPRESSED over it. And keep in mind, I had chosen to watch this episode BEFORE V4 was announced. I had NO WAY of knowing the series would be continuing. So I LEGITIMATELY thought End of the Beginning was the final episode. And that made it even MORE of a punch to the gut.

Also, I've mentioned in the past how I felt a lump in my throat when Pyrrha died. Ruby's ascension didn't do that. It was INCREDIBLY devastating, yes, but I wouldn't say it almost made me cry. Pyrrha's death most certainly DID. And when it comes to me, that's saying a LOT. I'm pretty much bulletproof when it comes to sad scenes, so to have a scene almost make me cry is a HUGE deal for me.
