She's had her entire foundation shaken up pretty badly tbh. I think the fact that Aryan's hospital blow up gave Aditya a major "told you so" moment mere MINUTES after she was so sure in her stance destabilized her and she's just spiraling ever since.
Aryan is a man of action rather than words, and it was his actions that made her feel so certain that they have something special, but with that one shake up, she's probably thinking, well, you know he's always said I'm not a friend, just another employee...maybe he did mean it and I made up the rest in my head?
It's such a mess because he is hurt that she needs verbal reassurance after everything he's done, and she's going down a total ditch without the verbal reassurance because she's kind of doubting her own interpretation of their relationship, ki maybe I only missed something.
That's why today's entire thing of "yup, I framed him because I can" sits so off for me, because he's always spoken of justice. Her next logical doubt will always be "well, if that was a lie, then what else?"
Mess, mess, mess.
