#probably wont happen until v10 or v11

If/when Cinder and Emerald see each other again, I really hope Emerald brings up the fact that she saved Cinder’s live in V8.

Because Penny was prepared to kill her.

Emerald protected her like Penny would for any of her friends, and this is why Penny lets them go, she isn’t a killing machine she’s a protector with a soul. If Penny was a heartless killing machine, she wouldn’t have stood down and allowed Emerald to escape with Cinder.

Emerald should tell her Penny was about to kill her and she saved her life, then ask her why she doesn’t seem to care, did everything she had done for her mean nothing? It’s entirely possible that Cinder doesn’t understand why Emerald even did that in the first place. From Cinder’s perspective, she doesn’t believe in unconditional love or friendship, especially when it’s directed towards her. It may have meant something to her, but her past tells her that Emerald is only doing it for herself or will leave/betray her. Cinder probably doesn’t understand selflessness or kindness without wanting anything in return. Part of me thinks Cinder doesn’t understand why Emerald cares so much about her. It really disappoints me that V8Ch6 is the last time they’ve interacted on screen, I do wish more happened in that scene before Mercury walked in.

I also can’t stop thinking about this scene, you can’t tell me Cinder wasn’t affected by Emerald not only still being alive but betraying her. Whether you believe Cinder cares about her or not, I think it’s undeniable that Cinder trusted her a great deal (the same could probably be said about Mercury as well). I think no matter if Emerald is backed up with ORN, or faces her alone, it’ll be an emotional scene. And honestly I love emotional scenes with villains because I like seeing their more vulnerable side, that’s something I’d love for Cinder. I’d also like to see a little more angry Emerald too. This doesn’t HAVE to lead to Cinder redemption, but I just disagree with this notion that Cinder must be kept away from Emerald at all costs. It’s as if people don’t want to admit Cinder is more than just Emerald’s abuser, like she’s just like Adam. At worst Cinder just never reciprocated Emerald’s feelings and slapped her. She expected obedience when in reality she never really had control over Emerald (or Mercury for that matter) they just went along with her either because they felt indebted to her or they wanted a place to belong.

Edit: Forgot to add this: I wonder what Ren will see if he uses it on Cinder. He probably wouldn’t care either way because she kinda killed his friends and teammates. But it would be interesting.
