Y'all realize that if John is truly a new alter at least one has to have existed before him right? Even if the "third" alter (dubbed Midokoto) is no longer in the system/story, he WAS there.

Mikoto. Was never. A singlet.

Ever.

That's just not how DID works. Mikoto has to have had childhood trauma to have alters; you don't just split from stress in adulthood without ANY parts beforehand.

With this distinct difference in appearance, it's plenty reasonable to argue this guy could be John's predecessor (not John, but also NOT Mikoto).

So yeah it's plenty reasonable to think about the other alter and treat him as a factor in the story, whether or not he's around anymore. Bro is not like "an OC," he didn't come from nowhere. Systems cannot ever be singlets because their brain's development was disrupted; if John is truly new, someone else has to have previously existed alongside Mikoto.

Idk I trust that Yamanaka has thought this stuff out but this is just my opinion lol

#idk the way y'all talk abt midokoto and Mikoto's system in general got me fucked up sometimes lmao #like see him however u want this is just my opinion #but like... don't act like the subtextual and textual evidence isn't there #I'm kinda vagueposting rn gonna b so real but like it's a fictional character I'm not MAD about it lol just feels a little silly #mikoto milgram #john milgram #mikoto kayano #milgram
