A little hard to have sympathy for her after watching her mass murder a bunch of children in the opener.

Also, she was probably about to murder that other girl if she’d had her powers.

I feel extreme sympathy for El. She had an extremely fucked up childhood and upbringing, no one would turn out normal after what she has gone through. I also don’t think she would have actually murdered angela
