The only friend Lin lost was Deb.
But both Lin and Deb believed Alice was a genuine friend for a long time, and they treated her as one. Even though it has transpired that she was gaslighting them like everyone else, Lin has to come to terms with the fact that her friend wasn’t a friend, thus she has effectively lost a friend. She will probably be mourning for the friend she thought Alice was and may feel sad that it was all fake. It’s not as simple as shrugging and going “well, she was a witch anyway”, that’s not how emotional bonds work.
