She needed to be there for him. To protect him. She wanted to mean something to him. And if she couldn't be his, she wanted to be valuable to him in some form. But all of that went away when he said it the next day.

And cried.
She didn't want to hear it. She knew he was in a happy relationship, and she was glad that he was in a happy relationship.
But she was also glad that he never brought her up around her. In this context, ignorance was really bliss. He never mentioned his new love and for that, she was grateful. But to physically hear that she was no longer the cause of his happiness just hurt her too much.
And all of her progress was destroyed.
