Her speech to Sunny before the Antarctica arc seems less about arrogance now. But more out of desperation… she kept mentioning about how weak she was at the gala and how pure strength will not let her beat her enemies, something she learned from her Nightmare. I think her talk about how Sunny will want to follow her, if she wished it, was a desperate move to make sure Sunny did not end up like the statues she befriended in her Nightmare. Thus she pushed him away with her words, to keep him safe. She “knows him best in two worlds” and thus knew how he’d react when she told him that.
