Agreed we probanly are making this bigger than what it really is and it would have been awesome to see Proteus, Rahne and Sean they were the closest people to Moira besides Charles and Erik.
I like Emma but she shines most when she gets to interact to different people who get to oppose with her pov, that was part of what made Astonishing X-men and her whole relationship with Scott so memorable, she had to learn to get along with Kitty and the rest of the team, it helped to understand her. This is not the case here imo, where she takes the place of other characters which doesnīt quite belong to her, even if she and Sean used to be close, she was not close to Moira at all. Rahne and Sean would make more sense here if they also were here with Emma and Kitty. Even more so because they remember her human life, it would be interesting to see Hickmanīs Moira react to them again.

Emma is Emma! she didnīt do the Hospital thing to honor Moira. She has basically not interacted with her that we know of. So it was not important to have Sean and Rahne there (though I think that the writer just forgot about them, it would have made sense and we could have had a Sean and Emma reunion. Pity). Emma knows or at least suspects there is something of importance going on with Moira, Charles and Magnus. That is why they were invited and not Sean or/and Rahne. In my opinion Emma has put them to the test... and they have failed...now she will likely look more intensely into the matter....

Except it makes no sense since Emma barely knew Moira and there was no groundwork laid for such a connection like there was with Moira and Mystique before and during Hickman's run. Not even Sinister is snitching on Charles and Erik. Duggan just pulls this out of nowhere. This is some Starlin-level favouritism.

Emma knows Moira. She and Charles approached her when Emma was still a stripper at the Hellfire Club. Charles repressed the memory, but that all ended with Deadly Genesis.
Emma knows Moira existed. No crap.
Next you're gonna tell me Thor and Magneto are drinking buddies.
