>>70157090I think it was probably more arrogance and just being used to getting her way to the point she forgot what hearing a no is like.
Something interesting is also that based on what we've seen, Elira also seems to be the most level-headed of the clique. When Dokibird attempted sudoku, I think it was both Enna and Millie shortly after creating passive-aggressive tweets about how they cleaned house or made an attempt to cook something. By contrast, Elira was pretending a family member had been diagnosed with something and she needed time off because she was concerned about them.
Ironically, while she's the most difficult talent to excuse of any bad behavior because of her merch deals and former comments by both talents and outsiders familiar with her and her friends, she's also seemed the most humane and reasonable in her immediate response to the attempt via her tweets. Millie, Vox and Enna are the three that have seemed absolutely shameless in their responses, though it's worth mentioning Elira still wasn't above feeding the viewers a half-truth made to make Selen's document seem more dangerous than it actually was.
It's likely Elira was just so arrogant that she didn't consider an outcome where she wouldn't get her way, so she just expected Selen to crack under pressure until she left the company. When Selen started behaving in ways she didn't expect, it seems like that's when she finally woke up to the reality that she's not and never will be in full control of the situation and she's potentially going to be called out for her shit. Everything came crumbling down, but by then it was too late.
I think the most humanizing, realistic interpretation is:
>Niji shows an unwillingness to hire necessary staff to manage JP>Elira offers to help for the good of the company, initially a commendable act on her part>Over time, it becomes apparent how her position can be exploited. Likely starts small while telling herself she deserves something for the extra work done>Her long-time friends want a piece too, encouraging her to fix things in their favor, pushing the interference further>Elira starts feeling powerful and vital to the company, completely goes to her head>Starts abusing power to a degree it can be documented, such as 9 merch deals>Is now too deep in and could get in trouble if her actions got out>Feels superior to her co-workers that don't provide as much benefit to the company (her interpretation) such as translating, gets smug and arrogant>JP speakers are a threat, so they get eliminated>Selen is a threat just for being loud about problems with the company. Selen is either suspicious of the clique or oblivious, but either way her criticisms are dangerous>Selen's gotta go>Push her harder and harder>Selen attempts sudoku>oh fuck>Elira realizes too late that she screwed up. Absolutely nothing she can do now>Millie and Enna probably bitchier because it's less likely the wrongdoing is traced back to them. Makes them bolder>Elira is radio silent because her ass is on the line and she knows itI'm not sure we'll see a return stream from her, or if we do, it won't be a comfortable one. The one thing that sets her apart from the other accused parties is she at least seems to comprehend the gravity of the situation and her own guilt.
