The experiences caused by time are a unique process.
If you go back three years, Ava Walker would definitely not have told Atlas Hallow these things.
Because she didn't understand what it felt like to be locked up in prison, she didn't know how the day-to-day torment would wear away all her initial pride.
She didn't even know there was a lifestyle like this in the world, if she could go back to the past, she would definitely not choose to do so, because she never held a place in Atlas Hallow's heart, no matter what she did, it wouldn't change.
Not only did she ruin herself, but she also ruined her mother, at her age having to accompany her in prison.
Things can't always stay submerged under the surface forever, there's always a moment of truth, she hopes that after telling all these things to Atlas, she could win back a bit of his mercy.
