I dunno where else I could share my thoughts and theories about TMD so yeah
The text below is pretty messed up it really is just a compilation of my thoughts
In the end I mention a couple of lines from the game
Spoiler warning!
I really really love the contrast between Aoi and Mimiko. Like, let's be honest, they both are not very sane if it's alright to say like this. Aoi's insanity is easy to notice and it's shown directly. But with Mimiko the situation is different. The image of her madness is built piece by piece, it's barely noticeable and creates an odd atmosphere around her.
AND I like thinking that maybe what we see in the game is different from what's actually happening. I mean, we're playing from Mimiko's perspective, right? So it's kinda possible that her brain is exaggerating events in the game. For example, with Kyouko's bullying. What we see is that actually only two characters are openly mean when it comes to Kyouko. It's Aoi and an unnamed girl that discusses gossip about Kyouko with her friends. When it comes to Kin I think she's just a little scared of Kyouko's image created by Aoi in particular. But Mimiko unobtrusively tries to prove to the player that everyone hates her. However, maybe it's not like this actually. Even the fact that someone put the flower on Kyouko's desk. At first it seems creepy and not respectful at all but if you think about it more it actually seems like on the contrary someone cares about Kyouko and genuinely believes her to be dead and feels sorry about it. Yeah, it could be real bullying if everyone knew she's alive but in the game Mimiko herself proves this to be wrong, saying: "Some students genuinely believe her to be dead, and that her presence is nothing more than a shared hallucination" (Btw I just realized that Kyouko hits Aoi with this exact vase with a flower on her desk lol) Talking about the gossip girls again if you think more about their words you can notice that two of them don't say anything actually mean about Kyouko. The negative perception of their words is created by Mimiko's previous words about all the hate floating around Kyouko. I'm not saying that Kyouko is not bullied. I'm saying that maybe Mimiko's brain is artificially exaggerating the situation.
And talking about how Mimiko's image is built piece by piece. It's actually creepy to see how obsessed she is with Kyouko. Like her whole life exists for Kyouko's sake. She so obsessed with her that she's even ready to kill an actual person (even if the person is Aoi it's still a murder btw) for so-called "retribution" for what he's done to Kyouko's life. Mimiko forces Kyouko to commit suicide with her which is kind of ironic knowing that Kyouko and Mimiko saved each other from it in the past and by doing this Mimiko literally destroys the thing she's been thankful for to Kyuoko.
Another detail I've noticed in those "reference" (??) pictures. If you look at them you'll see that all of them use different fonts and style so they kinda look like if characters wrote them themselves. If we combine it with what I've told before about Mimiko exaggerating things we'll see that Mimiko most likely intentionally calls herself boring to make herself look more pitiful (??) idk how to put my thoughts into words.
By the way Kyouko never said she loves Mimiko lol. Well, she said "me too" SHE SAID IT ABOUT LIKING TO EAT WITH MIMIKO BUT MIMIKO'S THOUGHTS ABOUT LOVING KYOUKO JUST MAKE IT SEEM LIKE KYOUKO SAYS SHE LOVES HER BACK just look at how Kyouko's whole demeanor changed after Mimiko's confession. Could be that she's simply scared to reject her cuz Kyouko's seen Mimiko go insane?? Or maybe she's scared Mimiko might actually kill herself if Kyouko rejects her. You know how some people smile and laugh when they get nervous well maybe sometimes it works with Kyouko too
"You can be scared, Kyouko. A guy like Aoi is scary" UH UH UH DON'T TURN THE SITUATION UPSIDE DOWN she is scared BECAUSE OF YOU you little manipulator
"She's so cute when she gets shy" GIRL SHE IS SILENT CUZ SHE IS SCARED AF NOT BECAUSE SHE IS BEING SHY
Sorry if some of my words seem like literal nonsense
