Why does Lev agree to go along with Risa and Connor's plans?

This question could refer to a few different places in the novel, so without a more specific location, I will try and cover a couple of the reasons why Lev agrees with plans made by Connor and Risa. The first few times that Lev agrees with the plans is to give himself some hopeful room to maneuver. Lev is a tithe, and he firmly believes that Connor took away Lev's chance to give himself to other people. Lev agrees to go along with Connor's plans at a few points because Lev believes that he can eventually figure out how to escape if Connor isn't watching him so closely. Lev will eventually betray the trust he is earning and alerts law enforcement about Connor and Risa. By the end of the novel, Lev has turned himself into a clapper, and he has changed completely. He is now quite angry at his parents for raising him to be a tithe, and he now agrees to help rescue Connor and fight against the entire unwinding process.
