Thank you for your work!

I mean, fucked up shit in the present aside, it must be quite the flex/cathartic to be able to take someone's dream job/crush them outta spite

would love to see this author do some kinda horror series /anthology like Girl From Nowhere with some main chara just causing chaos wherever she goes

Is it revenge or does Madoka have some sort of weird obsession with Sachiko for Sachiko being the first person to really "interact" with her as a child (even if Sachiko caused Madoka to get bullied that time).

 

[Yukizakurasou]

It would be hilarious if Madoka's just like ??? I thought we were dating??

 

[ErikTheRed]

So is Madoka empty and just filling herself with the hopes and dreams of others

I feel like if I re-read the series now it'll make a lot more sense how Madoka treats Yuzu-in-Sachiko's-body

edit: Ok yeah I just re-read the series to this point, recommended

This makes me think more that Madoka is a genuine sociopath. Not in the "Wow, she's evil" way, but in the like medical diagnosis way.

She doesn't seem to be able to have her own emotions, only mimic others. The first thing Sachiko saw her doing was watching a butterfly that had lost a wing struggle and die, and I think she might've been the one to do that.

Clearly I don't know for sure, but this definitely made me think that's right.

Now that I think about it, do you think the real reason Madoka is upset with the Yuzu (in Sachiko's body) is because Yuzu is acting like Madoka herself? Overly obsessed and wanting to be their everything?

Honestly without the background of Madoka being really weird I would struggle to take Sachiko's idea that Madoka is doing this deliberately out of malice seriously. I think it's more likely Sachiko is simply unable to cope with personal failure and so puts that malice into the form of Madoka who is successful at what she fails at. Madoka being an Idol isn't what's stopping Sachiko being one, it's the industry, same for acting, yet Sachiko thinks there is only one role out there and Madoka has "taken" her dreams from her deliberately to leave her empty. As it is even with Madoka's weirdness towards Sachiko I'm still deeply sceptical of the idea she's deliberately "stealing" her dreams. Madoka just wants to possess Sachiko yet Sachiko projects this internalised guilt over their first meeting into a year's long scheme of revenge. Which doesn't sit right with me.
Tl;Dr Sachiko's story is way too paranoid to be accurate, just because Madoka is weird doesn't mean Sachiko is right.

At this point Madoka's being so heart-broken that she doesn't see Sachiko in "Sachiko". She recognizes that the person she's breaking is not there but in Yuzu's body. The real!Sachiko might've been broken too far, and Madoka cherishes every moment of it. And that's why she rejects Yuzu. Yuzu is never in her point of view.
