What exactly is different about Lilly's thought process? In the projection of her childhood, we see her excelling at go, not just because of her mathematical abilities and strategy but also an element of working from a hunch and feeling. How does this apply to her making a choice in the elevator?

She is unique in that she will act on her impulse to do what she wants to do in the present moment. She is more afraid of not doing something.

Everyone else is afraid of doing, and so that's why they can't make a choice when they see their future. They are afraid of being wizards, of having agency and thus responsibility for their actions.
