From the recent interrogation question, I am wondering if it was John or Mikoto who answered by stabbing the paper. I am leaning towards John. I have no doubt that this question likely could have triggered Mikoto to switch, as it seems being believed to be a murderer has put a huge stress on Mikoto, so much so that John said in T2 VD that Mikoto may be trying to “disappear” because of it. I believe these questions about his murder or victims caused that switch to John. Also, from the stabbing of the paper I really get a sense of anger, frustration, an inability to cope with the emotions that surface. I think John does not feel guilty for the victim(s?), and is angered by us asking such questions. Perhaps he is thinking something like, “how could you even ask? I was protecting boku! They deserved it.” Then again, I am not entirely sure. This is all just me rambling about my observations and thoughts, so I could be wrong. Perhaps this question brought up memories, albeit likely faint ones, and caused a strong emotional response. Thus leading to John’s feverish stabbing of the paper. I’m not sure! Just my thoughts. No matter the true meaning behind it, I do feel bad for John and Mikoto. It’s obviously a very painful topic.
