You guys are jerks!

I think this applies to these people throughout most of Volume 9, particularly with how they treated and neglected Ruby. Yang had no idea her sister was in so much pain, her own best friend died and they were stranded in a world with no easy way out, and it was all because of a plan gone horribly wrong. Blake tried to keep an upbeat attitude, but ignored all the damage they had inadvertently inflicted. It was almost as if Yang and Blake were pretending that everything in Atlas didn't happen and they were too caught up in their own feelings. (Note: I ship Bumblebee, I just feel the canon could have handled it better). Weiss at the very least knew they screwed up in Atlas, but she had expected Ruby to bounce back. No, she couldn't, because her own friend had died and their plan ultimately failed. 
They didn't even notice how their leader, the youngest of their group, was in pain until she had a freaking panic attack and started yelling at everyone, which she had every right to, but they treated her like she was the bad guy.

And then there's Jaune. Yes, he went through a really hard time, arguably more so than everyone else, but he had no right to blame Ruby for everything. He was just as much responsible for the plan at the end of Volume 8 as she was. Out of everyone in the main cast of the series, Jaune was arguably Ruby's closest confident, and the first real friend she made at Beacon, but he went and did that. 

Ruby needed them, she needed her friends, her teammates, her family... but none of them were there for her. They had dumped all their problems on her and it broke her. And when she finally snapped and yelled, they pushed her away, which drove her to an attempt at suicide.

So yeah... those guys are jerks.

I hope in Volume 10 that the group has a talk about changing their dynamic because it really needs to change.
