When her so-called lover tried to take that research, and Sophia's life, she escaped, taking her work with her. There was no way she would leave that behind.

From that day onward, she stayed on the island, not ever leaving the lab. She, understandably, became very cold and accusatory, hardly telling anyone what she was doing.

The lab she escaped to is one she worked at periodically, so the people there were familiar with her. The thing about that lab was it wasn't regulated, no one owned it, and it wasn't under any government restrictions. She felt safe there because of it, so continued her studies there. She wasn't about to give up what she'd done for so long.

Overtime, she became the one in charge. The scientists who agreed to stay and help the research had to swear secrecy, which resulted in most cutting contact with anywhere else.

Sophia's research, to put it simply, involves figuring out how to make life from the surroundings. Take Demi, for example. He was the first successful experiment. His being was derived from the highly dangerous fungi growing on the island for centuries (which was a type of "mind-controlling" fungus, hence Demi's god complex- this also explains his "old and wise"-ness, technically he's been around for ages, only now he has the ability to communicate, among other things).

Most of the time she would take samples from Demi and hardly speak with him. The first time he’s able to achieve a human, Sophia is a little annoyed… because Demi loves to talk. And he would talk. He knew she was very broken and tried to get her to open up.

Obviously he did that because he wants to get in her mind and control her like he did with anyone else, but he could never seem to. Not that she’s immune, she isn’t, Sophia just knows how Demi works. She was the one who created him, after all.

Eventually officials from the main town she used to live in (and the one Demi later works as a priest in) start to show up to her lab unannounced. Sophia is very bothered by this. She certainly does not want them to know she created a whole ass demiurge. So, she sticks Demi in a lab coat and forces him to work.
