>>107291340I mean using circumstancial evidence Ari definelty pushed away people in the past, and used them like stepping stones. She is definitely aware of this. With the Mei situation I think she was really pushing to have Mei out of the friend group at the time. Mei comes off as a person who knows when bullshittery is afoot. Ari knowing this tries her best to get Mei pushed farther away. It almost worked as well. Not sure if anyone remembers the period of time where in Mei wasn't hanging out with Zen at all. Suddenly Mei starts coming back Ari starts hanging out with Ironmouse, and I think Ari started trying to make Zen crash out so she could use that as leverage. "Sorry zen I'm too sick to play peak" *collabs with Ironmouse* "Zen I don't want to play night reign" *collabs with Ironmouse*. This pushed Zen to the edge and she blows up on Ari. Making Zen look bad. Ari uses this as evidence and pushes everyone away.
