Kreon's Links
Kreon saw him as very fragile and more of a burden than actually useful enough to keep around in the long run, but at least she did have some empathy left for him enough to actively protect him if really necessary.
She also would stop Raya on serval occasions to just throw him in a ditch as soon as he served their purpose.
There was a little confusion between the two at first not knowing in what gender spectrum the other fell into but even more visible was the sheer dominance Kreon had over Elijah that stripped him a lot of his own independence or what was left of it in the first place.
Besides her cold and distant behavior he still liked her a little more than Raya...
She thinks that Raya is a twisted twofaced and dangerous monster with a very pretty face and a charming outer shell that seems to draw Kreon in like a mother to the flame.
They're both aware that what they have going on is bad but they still thrived on it as long as they could.
It took Kreon literally just one little slip up to show an ounce of weakness that sealed her fate.
There's a very deeply toxic and yet passionate energy between these two that the two don't quite get either.
They know they would kill each other as soon as it would be beneficial to them or of they feel threatened enough by the other.
Still especially for Raya she thinks that Kreons coldness and violence is very interesting and found herself to be very disappointed when Kreon wanted to stop with their plan later on which led to Kreons gruesome demise caused by Raya herself.
There's no reason to live for tools that don't serve their duty in her eyes.
