sometimes I think about how denial and avoidance are so incredibly integral to the nature of DID and how that plays into how Mikoto is dealing with all this. learning and being exposed to "just" the truth can be so stressful and traumatizing. it's kinda fucked up how vicious of a cycle it can be.
dissociation is triggered by stress (duh). those with dissociative disorders or otherwise significant dissociative symptoms will be much more prone to dissociating as a first resort. so what happens when the cause of your stress is having to face the fact you are severely dissociative? to face the implications of this? to accept that this is your reality?
you dissociate when you have to face it.
you dissociate from the reality that you are dissociative, which just worsens the dissociation. which makes it more obvious. which makes you dissociate even more. which makes it more obvious. which—
Mikoto becomes so stressed when he is confronted with the existence of his dissociation that he immediately starts dissociating to cope, causing John to front. I really can't blame Es for not telling him anything. they have no fucking clue what they're doing. they can't tell Mikoto he has DID and is part of a system and that John is an alter or else Mikoto will just dissociate and probably switch out, making the convo meaningless if they can't even keep Mikoto, the alter that actually needs this information, grounded enough to be able to remember it and process it. it's a very very difficult situation to navigate. not to mention Es is a 15 year old with extensive amnesia of their own. they have no experience with this and no accessible conscious experience when it comes to most things.
like it's really just a lose/lose situation here. Es keeps this information from Mikoto to try to avoid putting any more stress on him but then he continues to live in the dark and stays confused, which can be stressful all on its own. or Es tells him to try to help Mikoto begin to understand what the hell is even going on and he becomes so stressed he switches out. and with what John said to Es, about how if all this stress doesn't ease up Mikoto could "disappear" (go dormant), I bet they're even more hesitant to tell him. alters can't die, but with Es' seemingly limited knowledge on the subject, I wouldn't be surprised if they conflate "disappearing" with death.
someone just needs to put a request in for a DID specialist or something at this point—
