I was thinking about your "I prefer to not be disturbed" fic.

Yeah! So the funny thing is! I always held “Kotoko really did plan on attacking Amane” as a dark little headcanon of mine, and snuck it into an earlier drabble (so I could include another hc I liked, that Orekoto stepped up to protect Amane but for several reasons didn’t get labeled a hero like Kazui).

Anyway, I loved the complexity that Kotoko believed in protecting the weak but had that capability in her, given the lines about not treating Amane differently because she’s a child, the parallels with Fuuta, etc. But when I actually sat down to write that drabble, any way I tried to spell it out just sounded so harsh :( I was like hm, I can’t just come out and say she would beat up a child it in plain words, plus that's probably not even canon, and that would only doom her to further villainization and hate! I’ll say she didn't want to hurt her in this drabble as Milgram intended, and when Deep Cover comes out, I’ll pay close attention to how they discuss her mindset :) I figured they'd kind of skirt around the topic of Amane specifically, leaving room for you to interpret it either way.

And. And then.
