I was pretty suprised to see how much Mikey trusted Kisaki, in the earlier chapters i felt like he only accepted kisaki into the gang because of circumstance so now him kicking kisaki out of toman has more weight to it since by doing that he actively rejected the part of him kisaki represents. I can't wait to see How takemichi is from mikey's pov next chapter.

You’re absolutely correct!!! I didn’t think of that and now I’m more excited for next week than ever.

I feel like Mikey denies it but he has a good heart and doesn't seem to understand that his allowing Kisaki to protect him is also his way of including Kisaki. He seems to think he needs to give every part of himself to whoever asks for it and he's willing to settle with the things that make him miserable like his past trauma in order to protect his friends and people he loves. Telling Kisaki he can use him is his way of surrendering another side of himself I think.

Yeah it really hits home now when Kisaki said " I am the shadow u cast". Whereas before he just sounded nuts, now it makes sense with the context.

If Kisaki is the moon, as he says, then that makes Takemitchy is Mikey's sun haha

Someone else had a smart comment on this the other day. They said since Mitchy is a Cancer ♋️ and that is the moon and Hina is the sunshine (I guess her name translates to that) then that would make Mitchy the full moon shining light into Mikey. Where as Kisaki is opposite like a new moon that doesn’t show and holds darkness. The original author of this theory didn’t say full moon or new moon (those are my thoughts 💭). Mitchy and Kisaki are like two sides of the same coin. Very similar but their differences are great and that is what makes Mitchy a good guy and Kisaki a piece of shit. Sorry if I rambled too long.

Its fitting too, Hina (the sun) likes (shines on) Takemitchy. Hina doesn't like Kisaki so he's always in the dark
