The atmosphere in the control center was bizarre. Initially, it was just awkward but now it was filled with tension and worry.
Even Thea momentarily forgot about her worries, as she thought about the younger girl's words. She never thought that she would worry for her.
At some point in her life, she hated Lila and everything she stood for. Perhaps her hatred was partially induced by the crime she committed against her.
It was the perpetrator's guilty conscience driving her to push the young lady to the edge. She knew how much Lucas valued her although it was all for the wrong reasons.
At the time, she couldn't see how wrong it was for Lucas to 'treasure ' Lila. She just despised the younger man for getting the attention she craved from the man.
Now that her mind was clear and her heart sober, she felt stupid. How ridiculous and laughable! She envied a little girl whose parents she helped murder.
