I was gonna ask if the mom was a monster too but i guess she did take over an existing girl. guess convenient than living on their own but it'd be awkward if she had to kill/eat her own 'family'

morals of killing an 'innocent' person aside, feels like it'd be ideal to just aim for bad ppl in a dexter? serial killer style if only for practical reasons too (although idk if she 'needs' to eat ppl regularly versus just living as a human)

The issue is our monster is specifically trying to fly under the radar, because if it's discovered she's a monster she's gonna be killed. Taking over the body of a bad person is likely counterproductive to that end.

yeah she doesn't need to be a new host now but i guess at this point they're more likely to kill ppl sus of them versus like meals if not like somehow being entangled with criminals/the underground but feels like they're leading towards running into other 'monsters' lol

Everyone only sees that which is convenient to them. All living things are like that.
I'm not sure whether to be annoyed or pleased the skinsuit monster is emphasizing humility about its narrow perspective.

With the tiny bits of blushing and her looking away it gives the illusion she's ignoring her own inconvenient emotions. Which circles back to mutual romance writing, and will-they-won't-they, and subverting those moments. Which she and the premise make very difficult to cheer for.

(Not impossible :smug:)

We're halfway through the series and don't have any strong evidence if Takahashi is mostly feigning emotions as she claims, or if she can love up to the vibes of some moments with Itou and the covers. Which requires some relatively human emotions. I'm expecting this to get developed too rapidly if it rises beyond screwing with Itou's head.

At least she's less likely to kill the girl entangled with her?

Also the real Takahashi's death is suspiciously close to what a creature would arrange for its clone split or offspring. Just enough cover up to make it seem like free real estate, and free intel. It'd make Takahashi morally simpler so I hope it's not some delusion she's the whole ancient serial killer being. She sees what she wants to though, like the implications of free stuff at perfect timing.

she lives on as the person, picking a criminal leads to the risk of the crime then being discovered and her having to either jump or go to jail

normal plain unassuming people who arent popular but not unpopular either gives her the best chance to live a normal safe like for as long as the skin lasts
