I feel like we have seen this same thing happen a million times now. Random, poor sap character gets introduced, name and last name included, we briefly get to know their family members/signficant other/best friend, and then either they all get massacred or the new character gets to watch everyone die brutally before their eyes. Wow, so mature! Eden, so well written!
Even if you were making a point about this, it's already been beaten to death at this point in the story.
By the way, who the fuck was that sniper? A neo nazi? Some sort of border patrol? Was he not informed of the attack that just happened on the base they passed and to shoot the dangerous individuals instead of little kids and women? lol

It seems like there really isn't that much going on in terms of characters anymore, it is all natural disasters or the Colloid that is directing the series now.
Pretty much, character's choices seem pretty meaningless at this point, anything that happens is there to reinforce the heavy handed themes of the story.
