@KNN005, Adam is no more redeemable than the others. The only reason he didn't join them was because it was a Human cause, not a Faunus one. He's not a gun for hire, but he doesn't seem to have any other scruples. Adam still feels something other than "kill everyone and anyone for power". He does evil to help his people. He's bad but Cinder and Merc seems to be evil. And Emerald seems to be one of those types that will ignore evil deeds out of fierce loyalty. Like a secretary who knows her boss steals from the company but because he hired her, she looks the other way.

@ Cyrania de Bergerac:

I understand, I do. I get being loyal and grateful. But why throw away your morals just because of loyalty. Wouldn't a real friend want to tell a friend when they were going over the deep end? You're not friends if they hit you rather than hear you out. You're just a slave or a tool. If that a life? Did they really save you? Or did they pick you up so they can use you?

I'm having trouble place that line when Emerald says they don't need Merc and gets slapped. Is that a regular thing? What does Emerald think about that? What does Merc for that matter. They're sorta friends right, at least now. So is he okay with Em being slapped? Would he be okay with Cinder slapping him around? Torch is afraid of Cinder cause she has a piece of the Fall power. But even he doesn't get slapped around.
