Ok so it looks like my theory that Mia took a babysitting job that went bad was wrong, even though I finished the game already, I can't recall if I saw anything about what organization she was working for. Maybe some offshoot of Umbrella or something.

Something that I like is that while Mia received the serum, it's clear that Eve can still influence her to a degree. Not everyone probably feels this way but when something like that happens in a game it adds to the sense of dread or tension the player can feel as they move throughout the game. I remember playing RE4 for the first time and was very unsettled when Leon got infected with Las Plagas. Even though there wasn't a time clock, there was sort of a sense that at least in the story Leon needed to hurry up or become completely controlled by Saddler. Now that I think about it I do think "dread" is the right word for it. It's not fear like something could pop out at your or the setting is scary, it's the feeling of impending doom that you can do almost nothing to stop.
