Congratulations! If you look very closely at what you said, you said the same thing as me, only you said it differently! Have a cookie!
Yes, we would have died out as a species long ago, assuming we all evolved to be ill equipped, but the whole point is, when people suffer from a series of traumatic events and are ill equipped neurologically it becomes a simple matter of chemical imbalance. These kinds of people DO exist. That WAS my whole point, and the whole point is it isn't a matter of choice. It's completely a matter of mechanics. When something is mechanically involved, then there is no such thing as choice. This isn't an opinion, it's an objective fact. You're welcome to be entitled to opinions, but not to your own facts. Madotsuki's situation is no different. And FYI, ALL responses are automatic, we ARE automotan's, it just depends on the persons predisposition, environmental factors, genetics, IE a train of thought, chemical ratio's, the arrangement and synapses of neurons. It's all very complicated, but all still ones more things, we're slaves to our neurology.
So ... congratulations for arguing nothing against me?
If it were a matter of choice why do drugs have such vast influence on the way we act and behave? You can pharmacologically turn off an entire hemisphere of the human brain and watch their reactions. They turn into different people. Sorry, but we are our brains. No more, no less.
Madotsuki is obviously a character, who by the end of it, must have been suffering if this was the intention of the author, but the question is why? Actions like hers result from the complete convincing of self of no other options to take.
Back to the point though, why do people see this girl as anymore then lonely, depressed, and suicidal? Sometimes all it takes is a person to introvert themselves and just keep repeating to themselves that they wanna die until finally they act on it, to the point that only an outside source can save them, which she didn't have. It's for this reason I don't think she has a dark past. That she doesn't have a dark past makes this game all the darker. It truly shows you that there are troubled people, out of their element, people who CANT help themselves, but need help from others.
