since milgram's head writer is a psychologist, i have reason to believe he wouldn't just toss in an evil serial killer alter trope into all of this, because that'd just be really lazy and damaging storytelling imo. my personal theory is that mikoto is in a gang (bc all the tarot cards have symbols like bats, knives, motorcycles, and wheels), and carries out hits on rival gang members, as seen in the first verse. meanwhile at home, he either does self-hypnosis (based on how he has those incense sticks and stares at a blank white tv screen when "switching" for some reason) and/or smokes/gets high/gets drunk to ease the heavy mental burden of it all, and him when he's all chill and zonked out is what we see in every chorus.
