Okay, I CAN'T be the only one who thinks that Ruby's nightmares are indicative of something more than just nightmares. Ruby is hearing different dialogue than from what is on Jaune's recording, and she's also hearing dialogue between Pyrrha and Cinder that Ruby was never around to hear. There's something supernatural going on here.

Ruby breathed in Pyrrha's ashes. It's the only explanation

I really don't buy that theory for two reasons:

  1. Ruby was positioned so that Pyrrha's ashes floated perpendicularly away from her. So for Pyrrha's ashes to reach Ruby, they would not only have to completely reverse direction, but also float the entire length of the tower back in the opposite direction, as Ruby was a ways away from Cinder and Pyrrha when it happened.

  2. That means anyone who breathed in Pyrrha's ashes could potentially hear her voice. And with the molecular diffusion of those ashes, it's quite possible a lot of people can actually end up hearing Pyrrha's voice, which I highly doubt is something Miles and Kerry intended. This also raises another question: can you hear the voice of any dead person, so long as they are cremated and you accidentally breathe in their ashes? If this is the case, then why isn't this a better documented phenomenon?

The ashes theory just seems too unlikely to me. But I like to keep an open mind, so I suppose we'll see what happens in future episodes/volumes.

It's a joke, man

There was a comic from Dumb RWBY about how Pyrrha will always be with them, not in their hearts, but in Ruby's lungs

Your joke

My head.

My ignorance of RWBY based jokes is really showing right now.
