I feel some people here under state the effect of the transformation has had on Reika. As the Queen said in the last chapters the more they use their powers the more of their humanity they lose. Reika might very well be aware of what she felt in the past for her friends. But the transformation into a butterfly has radically damaged her moral compass as seen with her extreme loyalty to her Queen.

Per

Clearly the implication is that this whole butterfly thing massively fucks with peoples personalities to the point that theyre all slowly turning into psychos with brief flashes of their true self, but thats just too depressing for me so i hope that its just that the culture that the butterflies have established is the fault and reika just became a massive asshole because she got power(this way it would still be reversible).
From what weve learned in chapter 7 the society up top is luxury and excess while the ones on the bottom suffer and the top looks down on the bottom for not turning into butterflies, something thats seemingly not even achievable through effort alone. Hope our mc, who still seems to have maintained some of her morals atleast, changes this society and more importantly reika for the better.
Thanks for the chapter

Personally hope for the first paragraph you mentioned. I like the idea of Ayumi character arc will be one of self destruction.
