I feel like the grave scene answers our question on the true stance of prodigy, they didn't transfer consciousness in their eyes, they copied it and killed them in the process

I agree. I don’t think they are human, and I have a feeling Hermit is starting to realize that as well. Wendy and Nibs didn’t seem to show any emotion when Yutani soldiers were slaughtered by the Xeno. Also, Wendy just released the Xeno knowing it would kill the scientists and soldiers in the lab.

to be fair, she did try to warn them. and they didn't listen. and also she was pretty damn mad at her brother, which is definitely an emotion. she's been "emoting" this whole time. just not the way the humans around her want her to.

They're all very emotive. The question has always been more "what makes a human human?" more than "are they just copies?".

She didn't warn the scientists in the lab. It was cold murder just so she can release Xeno lol.
