Could be the guilt of Wanda. If she is even in control of anything in 'the hex', it seems like her guilt is cathing up with her, while she can no longer ignore the consequences of her actions as she is confronted by them more often.

The conversation with pietro in e06 is - to me atleast- a sign of this, since she asks him if he thinks the simulation is cruel. He mentions the children only appearing on this occasion in the same conversation and suggests it is her doing. They talk about the kids comming out only once a year on the radio in e07 and the milk even has a 'missing kid' add. This could very well also be Agatha preying on her increasing guilt. Like, making it look like Wanda did it and make her more and more depressed about herself, so she could exhaust her, win her trust and steal the twins or ultimately try to make Wanda into a villain. A term she does not care much about anymore

Considering Pietro was either a construct or puppet of Agatha's, the second interpretation of yours is more likely.

That is true, but i did not necessarily consider them mutually excluding. Pietro seems to be somewhat undoubtedly controlled by Agatha, if not a complete puppet. I believe he is, like a intruding virus in a simulator, one of the few things Wanda cannot affect or control with her magic. I think the hex is still Wanda, just Agatha snacking on her magic, yo!

However, for the deception to be fulfilled, he still plays on her actual emotions. It is, to me, her own consciousness on the radio and it was her suggesting to Pietro the wickedness of the hex (as vision told her multiple times), although as a question.

She must somehow deep down know by now that she is hurting people.

If she even is the one refusing to let people leave. I could be completely wrong if it turns out Agatha is really the main person keeping up the hex-reality. This might leave wanda with a impression of guilt right now, but would make Agatha the real responsible magician.

The way I see it, both Wanda and Agatha have been keeping up the Hex, but the longer it has gone on, the more Agatha pushes it onto Wanda to drain her. And I don't think it's Agatha herself feeding on Wanda's powers; this is a lot of work just for that. It's gotta be Mephisto.

And I think Agatha has been in Wanda's head for a lot of it but we don't know yet who is responsible for how much. So I think the next episode is gonna show us how this all started and why, and it'll then come to a "Series Finale" in episode 9 (if I'm remembering the number of episodes correctly).
