Tweak says, "A word which here means..."

Such a beautiful Sunday afternoon. At least, that's what someone else might think. Riley, on the other hand, usually didn't notice such things. Other people might look at a tree in autumn and think of the pretty colours; Riley wouldn't notice that at all, she would just see an autumn tree. It was the same with other people. She didn't think of them as people at all, but more like tool to help her get something she wants or to keep her entertained. She knew they had feelings, hopes, dreams. But Riley just couldn't quite understand that hurting feelings and crushing hopes and dreams were wrong. She simply had no empathy for others.

And she didn't feel an ounce of guilt for what happened last night. Sure, she had befriended the girl with less than good intentions. She pretended to be a loyal friend, was there for her and was someone the girl could tell her darkest secrets to. Riley had used her along to get something she wanted and when she got it, she dumped the girl like an old toy. She was simply no use for Riley anymore. When the girl found out the truth, she became upset and cried. And while other people might feel just a little remorse, Riley hardly felt any. To her, the ends justify the means.

Even if she had to completely ruin someone's life.
