While reading the posts on this board for the latest update, the posts about a Liz kept sticking in my mind. So I went and watched Liz events again and how she was positioning in regards with Kirito. And I noticed some line of thoughts that were consistent between the Liz events and Kirito strange dream number two, the one where Liz was blowing Inoda and Asuna was implied to have had sex with him prior and during Liz joining them.
From reading between the lines and looking past the immediate thoughts and actions of Liz, I noticed that Liz does not like Kirito fully in a romantic way and her feelings for Kirito and impressions of him are more complex and focus not on Kirito himself, but how he is perceived as being by Asuna. Liz feelings of attractions for Kirito are more due to the jealousy and envy she has towards Asuna than are for Kirito as a person. Yes, she likes Kirito as a person to a certain degree, however that is not fully accurate.
From Liz actions and thoughts she is not just trying to steal Kirito from Asuna becouse she likes him more, but is more that she wants to take Kirito away from Asuna, due to being seen as a prize to be won. In both Kirito dream of Liz and Liz latest scene with Kirito in the workshop the same underlying feeling of jealousy, envy and a desire to compete with Asuna is shown but with different ways of expressing those feelings. From this perspective, I came to the conclusion that Liz will fall completely in the hands of Inoda due to Asuna actions.
Once Asuna falls completely for Inoda and starts to prioritize him more and more, Liz will be front and center to notice and see these changes, changes that most likely are due to her contribution. With Asuna feelings for Kirito being gone, a good part of Liz internal drive for stealing away Kirito will also vanish and her attraction towards Kirito will diminish significantly, and she will have to choose between taking a thrown away prize or keep competing with Asuna for Inoda attention. And I strongly believe that Liz will choose the latter, as by that point in the story she would have had plenty of sexual encounters with Inoda to a degree where she will be showing signs of addiction to having sex with him while also being aware of Kyoko situation as well, If the foreshadowing that Fujino put in place is to be believed.
I am not saying that Liz will fall willingly under the control of Inoda, but she will be pulled there by Asuna in her attempt to secure her support and keep Kirito depending on the ending in the dark or have his attention distracted from Asuna or Inoda. Liz will also derive pleasure from this arrangement in more ways, on one hand she can keep competing with Asuna and this time directly. While on the other hand, she will have Kirito as her plaything to satisfy her dominant side with Inoda keeping Liz masochist needs satisfied.
Also, it will not make a lot of sense for Liz to keep sticking with Kirito in an ending where Kirito becomes a willing cuck and still wants to be exclusive to Asuna. She will most likely keep being around Kirito while still getting action from Inoda. Well, this is my impression and theory of what Fujino might have planned for Liz. Even though I compared two scenarios that are different, they still came from Fujino and I believe that Fujino plans for Liz were reflected in the Liz shown in Kiritos dream.
