As a side note, this has a great set up for a redemption arc for Neo. At first, she starts her story hating Ruby with a seething rage. Eventually either setting off to kill Ruby herself, or getting kicked out of the villain group because of her singular focus with Ruby. As she travels she finds Ruby and they fight. Before Neo can do Ruby in, she is pushed away by one of the other members of JNRR. She flees, being out numbered, which starts a back and forth between the group. Neo would try and attack Ruby any time she was alone and the others would come and push her back. After a few rounds of this across the land, Neo finally has enough of it and doesn't back down for her final showdown. She tries to fight the whole group to varying levels of success. In the end, though, she is left without a weapon and with no more energy to use her Aura, but she still wants to fight. On weak legs and battered body, she tries to hit Ruby with her own fists. Ruby (more than likely equally as battered) finds this last attack being weaker than a friendly punch in the arm from Yang. Knowing that Neo doesn't have the energy left, they both stand and eventually sit (do to weary legs) as Neo weakly hits Ruby again and again. She breaks down with silent but full heart wrenching tears. Ruby had understood why Neo had attacked her from the beginning (Roman's hat being a give away) and when Neo started to sob, her own pain of her dead mother came back and in front of her she saw the same thing and could only do one thing. Comfort her. Pulling Neo into a hug as Neo cries into her chest. She cries until she falls asleep. And when she wakes up she finds herself not on the battle field or in a jail cell but in a room. In a bed no less, with bandages over her wounds. But what threw Neo off the most was a bowl being presented to her. She took it and hears, "Eat up if you want to get better." The voice comes from the red one, Ruby. Before she can try and attack she hears the voice again. "I am sorry that Roman died, I had no clue. Sure he was a bad guy, so are you, well, bad girl, but I wouldn't want anyone to die." The gentleness in her voice makes Neo stop. She could hear the honesty and it only made Neo hurt more. It hurt because the kindness that Ruby is showing her after everything that Neo did, that she tried to do to Ruby. But Ruby only showed her restraint when fighting and fighting now, she is just like her partner, her Roman in that way. It makes Neo break down again, latching onto Ruby, she can only cry. This time she is determined not to lose this kindness ever again. She won't lose another Roman.
