So basically Edea's feelings about Kyouya have a lot to do with what happened the night before he arrived. It was pretty confusing at first; she still didn't understand how much of what they were told was real and how much was fake because hey look everyone is still alive but it obviously wasn't what she was expecting. She had figured people would be annoyed, but the hostility from everyone except Mahiru and Levi was a bit surprising. Her conclusion about the matter was that she didn't feel she owed anyone jack-squat; what they did was wrong, but the best anyone is getting is a sincere apology. She's not bending over backwards to make amends for something she couldn't control, and Malik, especially, was just an incredibly whiny hypocrite about the situation given what he coolly admitted about his own dabblings in mind control.

Her own feelings about her culpability aside, she does understand that it would be incredibly difficult for the 'murdered' guests to accept it. So her resolution was to be as accommodating as possible for everyone who came in, not because she feels like she owes anyone anything, but because empathy is a decent thing to have. So at first, she was completely ready to be open to Kyouya's questions and to just accept everything he had to say. She listened to his venting and tried to defuse things without voicing her own opinions, which was that Tamaki got a pretty sucky deal out of this, too. She figures that dead people get like, 24 hours to be as selfish as they want because it really is pretty traumatizing!

But Kyouya repeatedly turned their conversations into This is Why Tamaki Sucks and even when she tried to gently say that A: he couldn't help it and B: his motives were basically just to be helpful, Kyouya kept pushing it. The breaking point was when he launched into his speech about how Tamaki was purely selfless and pathetic, and she really couldn't just soak it up anymore.

Thus, Kyouya got the brunt of everything she'd been keeping in that she'd been feeling ever since she arrived in the graveyard, including all the things that she wanted to say to Malik. It basically boiled down to 'stop whining god' because it really felt like Kyouya had zero sympathy for Tamaki's situation. At the same time, she knew he wouldn't throw a temper tantrum like Malik would, so she felt free to say the things that were on her mind. She regretted that later; it wasn't fair to take it all out on him, but she doesn't regret sticking up for Tamaki. The thing is that she has a lot of self-control when people are attacking her, but she's a lot more willing to strike back when it's to defend someone else.

They pretty much stopped talking after that but her opinion of Kyouya is still a little unfair in that she thinks he's kind of a sucky friend. She dislikes people who are deliberately cold on the outside; this is mostly due to her issues with her father, and as far as she sees it, Kyouya really had said and done zilch that indicated he was at all genuinely concerned about Tamaki.
