how are people mistaking schizophrenia with DID/OSDD? i know i probably shouldnt ask this question.. given how little people think of saneism and/or what words mean but whatever we ball, this is not schizophrenia lol . Ill try and outline plural saki here as brief as i can
"evil saki" does a lot of persecutor alter things and is trying to protect saki, this is from the IFS framework of trauma and OSDD/DID work. persecutors often show up in those victimized in isolating ways, I mean lots of traumatizing things that can happen to a child are incredibly isolating, like the homophobic bullying (text) or worse (subtext at this point, but given her first crush being an adult... questionable). For Saki, her persecutor is the only one she can turn to that has her back/interests in mind, her one confidante, but it is also holding all her pain at the same time. Every appearance is a recall of that pain which of course can be a self inflicted twisting of the knife. That's what being in survival mode is like for her. So no she's not an evil alter or whatever but she's the part of saki wounded from her ostracization and literal brain chemistry altering trauma and this has kind of been spelled out well in advance of the last two chapters. We just finally saw her break headspace and take a more physical appearance in her room, where Saki probably feels safest
