What if squiddo 's use of exploits is also lead by the fact that she failed at bringing like peace, maybe her use of exploits is how she responds to the world in the way she sees is, in total destruction. Her attempt at achieving peace did nothing, so why should she head off a different path if all lifesteal has shown her is destruction? (The nuke, the peace trials failure). It only makes sense that she seeks recognition for something that she CAN do and the best way she can do that is her exploits, to take down the people that harmed her. It's her response to being hurt, to hurt more people, to bring them down.
This is Squiddo's only way to feel better (to save herself???), as shown through the scene with her inner voices. As well as when ashswag was in trouble, the first thing she thought of doing to save him was to use the chaos emerald: an item of destruction. Although, when ashswag refuses to use it, Squiddo is confused. Maybe she wonders, how come he's refusing the help from the exploits? What if she believes that if she can save herself with exploits, she can also save ashswag? Although, his refusal might have just proven her that maybe her exploits cannot really save people or herslef, that her exploits are not recognizable enough to be worthy of using..???
