Actually, I'd kind of love for Cinder to try to justify it it, or better yet, Emerald to find out and defend Cinder, only for our heroes to point out that it hasn't been all sunshine and roses for them, but they keep moving forward and helping others. Cinder was abused? So was Blake. Yang lost an arm.

Honestly, Emerald defending Cinder's actions and being taught how your past may explain your actions, but not excuse it. She was ligitmately confused and frustrated at only seeing them happy. This lets her learn and grow as a character.

This kind of misconception is too common in-universes nand in real life.
