I feel like this is mostly it, although she hasn't reached the point of betraying friends for power.She's (sort of) exalted; gaining power is the ends.
I see what you mean, though. She might be getting a bit of Vergil Syndrome, where you are traumatized by a period of weakness and start gaining power, eventually losing track of the reason you initially wanted to become powerful.
I don't know if that's an intentional story beat by the writer, but Taylor is comically weak to slippery slopes, so it would fit.
If he was actually wearing a proper cup, then Tay breaking it likely means she is a bit above Brute 1. Brute 1 is still in the realm of humanly possible after allA brute 1 kicks you in the balls with mystical martial arts.. A really low move from Low Key.
