^this is why Emerald comes across as more redeemable... because if Cinder is gone, she may actually want and seek out redemption.

Mercury on the other hand, shows no such predisposition, while Emerald went to kill Tukson to impress her savior Cinder, while Mercury went to kill him for excitement because he was bored(and presumably for cash, but there was no indication he expected to be paid).

Does it really sound reasonable to expect a man who kills others out of boredom to seek redemption? Because I don't see it happening. On the other hand, we have someone who will do anything for the one person who saved her from poverty, which thusfar only includes 1 known Murder(which Mercury was also party to) and the death of an android(which we never really saw her interact with enough to know as a person, so to her it may have been as evil an act as breaking a talking coffeemaker).
