Anyway Ange really, really disliked Sora.
Initially, he was kind of convenient. He was kind, and optimistic, and had a lot of faith in people. He seemed like the sort of person who would believe her lies hook, line and sinker, and so she fed them to him and spent time with him and tried to build just enough of a rapport with him that he would go to bat for her if she ever fell under suspicion. That was pretty much the entire initial point of her pursuing a relationship with him, and she felt like she succeeded well enough there.
That was pretty much it for awhile; they carried on as they did, without anything getting any deeper, which was exactly as Ange wanted. She kind of thought that Sora's strong morality was a little annoying during trials, but he certainly wasn't the only one being loud and annoying about being morally right, so she kind of ignored and dismissed it.
Things changed after she revealed herself. The important thing to understand here is that Ange knows she's a bad person. She's not kidding herself; she's fully aware that she's bad, that she's selfish, that she acts for her own reasons and does not do things for the greater good. She's never pretended otherwise when she has to be her actual self. And that's why I think she ended up so frustrated with people like Sora. Because Sora never stopped believing, and it was so at-odds with the actions they had to take as people forced into this game that she couldn't understand it. But even more, it was at-odds with what he did in the game, and she just couldn't make that work with her own moral scale. Sora worked tirelessly, endlessly to try to find a good end to this game. That's morally amazing, from one perspective. From another perspective, though, that means he was calculating who needed to die and by what hand, too. That meant he was playing a numbers game with peoples' lives.
It was for the sake of everyone, of course.
But to Ange, there's no real distinction there. Bad things are bad things, regardless of who does them or why. Ange did terrible things here and knows it--but she doesn't understand the other perspective, the one where people who did bad things for a good reason are still good people for it.
ALL OF THIS IS TO SAY that Sora really, really, really did not fit into Ange's understanding of the world. He ended up kind of being a proxy for all of the good, upstanding, moral people in this mg to her; he was the one she knew best and the one who came to talk to her after the Reveal, and thus all of her frustrations about how their morality worked and how little she understood it ended up kind of being taken out on him in her mind, even though that's pretty unfair of her.
Ultimately, she's just kind of happy to leave this place behind and all of the people she doesn't understand like him; she'll go back to her world of shadows, where people who do bad things are bad people (her included), and try to leave all of these moral quandaries and philosophical questions he's introduced into her life behind.
