1) Neo and Cinder do not have any kind of relationship.

2) On top of that, it is not Cinder's fault that Roman is dead.

3) Now revenge on Ruby is a different story, but frankly I just do not think Neo cared that much about Roman ...

4) Also, Neo has not been seen or heard...

5) There is however one thing that might indicate neo's return. ... There are a lot of things wrong with this.

1) Neo not having a direct relationship with Cinder would have no bearing on whether or not she continue working with them. That depends on how mercenary she is. Granted, this point will be made moot in a bit, but we'll get to that.

2) Since it was Cinder's plan that got hm in there in the first place and they made it clear Roman was past the point of having a choice in the matter, there's plenty of reason to hate Cinder. Hell, there's arguably more reason to hate her than there is to hate Ruby.

3) We have confirmation from the creators that they had a father/daughter-esque relationship, so this entire paragraph is founded in pure ignorance.

4) Completely irrelevant, and the character's importance is measured in their significance to the plot. If she's entering in as an antagonistic role for Cinder somehow, that by definition makes her important because it shapes the narrative.

5) You also see the hooded figure that is obviously Cinder to anyone with two brain cells to rub together fighting someone with an umbrella in the opening, as was pointedo out.
