Vi definitely has the temper and good graces that will make her an expert guide to train and recruit new Agents. And Sloth has the tough love "demons help those that help themselves" mentality to get those Agents training on their own.

Meanwhile, Tolli is just a nerd.

In our epilogue mode, more stories that never made it into the series!

The Agency continued the Sins/Virtue method of using orphans- We learned a bit more about the Agents' lives before joining up, but I ultimately kind of liked the feeling of just jumping into the story with them already having decided to become Agents. Rich's parents died while he was really young, so like he goes with the flow and doesn't push back on things because he figures loss can come at any time. Tolli was orphaned at birth and never knew his family, kind of leaning into him being self-absorbed as a defense mechanism since he can only rely on himself. Vi's parents are alive but she's estranged from them, probably in her teenaged years, when she revealed she wanted to be an Agent. So she's bossy because her background was that she's from this really stuck up rich family and was always ignored as a kid. There's a reference to this at the fundraiser where Vi mentions that she had to attend them as a kid, with the reasoning that her parents were socialites and she got dragged along to keep up appearances/so her parents could use her as a prop. 

I cut it very early but there was a short bit to close things out where Agents discussed that it was Lib killing parents so she could make them be workers. Either Lib and/or Ms Learner overhear this and are A) horrified that the Agents think she could be so immoral as to actually do that and B) why on earth were they willing to stay at the Agency/join up if that's what they thought was happening?!

It obviously wasn't true and Ms Learner is a saint!
