Her story is a death by a thousand cuts.
And the last cut happens here.We always wanted the episode to be about her paranoia.
A fear both true and imagined borne from the endless battles shes fought to get to the top.

That wears you out eventually, seeps into how you see the world and elevates every fear.
Its also why we designed her fall more as an unraveling.
