Alright
Tulpa
The process of creating a tulpa is programming a part of your brain to continuously project a mental image who can act semi-independently from your conscious mind.
Basically, willingly developing a split personality associated with a preferred image that would then walk around your room and talk with you
Ah, I just raised it as a possibility, cuz Airi displays syndromes of manic depression, so I kinda thought that maybe making a body very similar to her own might destabilize her further
I'm not really sure about that, though
Would you differentiate between "Anri has manic depression" evidence vs. "Anri is overusing displacement and rage as defenses" evidence? What I get from the reading is more like a chaotic, roiling series of reactions she's having right after her reality went irrational, and her emotions went off the scale.
I think she was "baseline" too recently for a regular sort of manic-depression?
Also, she should not be settled into any particular stable worldview yet. I am seeing a girl who tried to embrace the revenge that blocked her grieving, and build a new self around it. Of course, that is a very short life story if she got her way. Make the analogy to getting that name tattooed while drunk, and waking with regret.
Now, she's in flux. Abandoning her humanity didn't do much. She has lost her power. And she has lost her "truth." Revenge was a bust. Nothing is going in any way that makes sense - only for everything to come to a screeching halt in the jail cell.
Rather than anticipating, would we be helping her, and us, by learning more specifics? Even though she "doesn't want to share," we can use two other paths. Ask her, and reward her for personal conversation. Keep that up until there is an opening.
Or talk more cleverly about other things, and use our wits to indirectly learn more.
We need the NPC backup to provide this many therapy hours. If we break ground in a way that allows them to easily pick up her case, we win. Map the minefield for the support specialist, the one who doesn't have our special advantages when it comes to Magical Girls.
If we learn the right things, brokering enough rehabilitation to satisfy us is easier - AND we immeasurably improve her future. Kyuubey chose both the girls as "feeder stock." Not getting some improvement in her coping skills will result in a short ride to the Witch side of town, and if we brought Yuuri back before then, she'd be involved too. It will require a little bumping of heads until we teach her to live. Totally worth it.
If we think a situation is likely to attract her "over the edge," the best answer was always firm direction ahead of time.
As her "first responder" and dominant primate figure, we can imprint reactions that will stick.
In specific, making a copy of her body is something we should work up to. I think if we have her do it in a strictly mundane way, and talk about her feelings as she does self-portraits, we can avoid problems and even create benefits. When we have cleaned up her emotions, working with Magic has to be easier. If we walk her away from the brink of destruction, maybe her morals will re-appear. Her villainous actions might be something we can un-train, as they were not very persistent, even if very large. Until then, we should seek enough control to prevent harm.
In this vein, our uncertainty is much less in regards to girls like the Iowa Group. The way we handle them is probably going to be more like any consensus authority would, not because we like it, but because they have invited that sort of attention. Given the commitment they have made to predation, any risk is theirs to suffer, and our first choice to prevent harm is permanent removal of the magic of any of them we catch alive. Not certain how that works, but risking the lives of the future should a confirmed killer repeat is preventable. We can figure out how they can live and be changed, or spend life in institutional confinement, once we know the rest of humanity is safe.
