Lyl is in an extremely awkward situation, and on top of that, feels trapped. Honor forcing her to remain in this situation, despite discomfort, makes her overwhelmed with a need to belong to the experience, instead of being the outcast, but she doesn't fit, being the elephant in the room. Lacking purpose, feeling embarrassed, and doubting her own resolve, she loses focus of what brought her here in the first place, as important as that reason was.
Most people in this situation either cower and wait for something to happen, or, more commonly, run, either mentally or physically. Lyl's choice is obvious.
It takes a strong will to face a setting where you hold none of the cards, and everyone not only has a winning deck, but have relationships, leaving you the only defenseless stranger. Someone as distrusting as Lyl would certainly have trouble believing that everyone truly only has her best at heart.
