[spoilers] Harry and Ruth. The Wonder Years.

[Kirayuki]

I think she may take on board what he said more because of the Harry in danger thing.
Despite what she may think she's actually quite protective of Harry. Lucas saying 'be brave, be selfish for once' is almost too apt considering the up-coming investigation.

Also, Ruth is someone who is always affected heavily by the death of colleagues and she tries to do what she can for them in her own way.

Tom- She called Adam Tom by mistake (Which is fine as he didn't die).
Danny - She stayed with until they had to take him away. Then refused to leave his funeral until Harry begged her.
Jo - Stayed at work after her death probably partly due to her memory. (Like Jo did with Adam)
Ros - Read at her funeral and told Harry it was not the right time to be proposing as it was her funeral.
Lucas - Well we can only hope she takes on board what he said.

I don't think she'd just sit there and let Harry go to the dogs even if he had upset her recently as he fell of the pedestal she kept him on.
