Hmm, in my past life there was a very interesting post online called "How to Cultivate an Apocalyptic Big Boss". The gist of that post was to first redeem a pitiful person in various ways, shower them with love, and strive to become the only light in their world. Then, at their coming-of-age ceremony, you find someone to dismember yourself and send it as a gift to them. At the moment they open the gift with joy, the boss is born.
Dorothy thought back to her first cycle memories and realized that's exactly how she and Adam played it.
Of course, Adam was innocent. After all, he really did try his best, but alas, he was already in a broken state and couldn't carry it through.
As for herself...
She really messed up. If only she hadn't been so arrogant and conceited, and had communicated with Denisha beforehand, then such misunderstandings wouldn't have occurred.
