1-Would they have listened to Emerald?

2-Would they have been able to do anything?

3-Would they have believed her?

4-Would they have not arrested Emerald herself, given she herself is a criminal, and an accomplice?

5-What guarantees their survival and Emerald's?

6-Why would she even do that? (and don't give me any "cause it's the right thing to do" arguments, please. We're both adults, I assume).

The first 5 reasons are among the most common reasons many people don't report things to the police. They feel police is either useless, or not worth trusting.

She could've told Ironwood too. Yes, a random thief/exchange student will be allowed to talk to a general from the world's most powerful military, who's also a headmaster of a Hunter academy.

By that logic, any random joe on the street could go and speak to the president of the United States just like that.

She's helping a lady make people suffer the same way she herself suffered on the streets. Yes, because a homeless girl who stole to survive obviously suffers the same way a victim of mass murder suffers.

Besides, why would she care about those same random people that 1) She doesn't personally know. And 2) Haven't done anything to help her in her life.

She's now an empowered asshole No she isn't. She's now a Cinder translator, yet not an asshole.
