Is Emma religious? Are there any values that she would want to teach the next generation of VILE agents?
Not particularly. Like, I believe there is a god more than I believe there
isn't a god. My only experience with religion (particularly Christianity) came from my high school years. I attended a catholic high school where we had religion classes every year and school-wide mass was held every month or so. None of it really spoke to me but I can understand why it would draw somebody in.
The most important value I would try to instill in others (in VILE and beyond) would be compassion for those in need. We are often too quick in our judgments of another's situation, making assumptions that end up hurting and dehumanizing people. I know that in certain lines of work snap judgments are necessary to ensure to ensure safety and survival, but in our civilian lives, a little less judgment might be needed.
