"С нами бог. Remember - no Russian."

I do not have schizophrenia, so I can't speak from experience of whether the disorganised thought shown in-game is accurate, per se. But what I find striking is the fact that Milk-chan is obviously trying so, so hard to keep it together. Her speech is often tangential, even when her thoughts are easier to follow, but even when she's tangential, she's obviously trying to follow them to a certain conclusion. The tangents aren't made out to be funny, nor to be creepy or off-putting. They're just a symptom of her psychosis.

Moreover, she struggles with other cognitive symptoms. Reading now causes her fatigue, because focus takes so much more effort than before. Her memory is jumbled and gappy. Her thoughts will just block. Decisions are hard.

And, to add to all that, although her emotions might seem disorganised to outside viewers, they're always reactions to things she's experiencing, real or not. If she suddenly becomes sad, it's in response to genuine upset. If she gets angry, it's because the world, as she perceives it, really is that terrifying. If she's overjoyed, it's because she's achieved something, however small, and she's right to feel damn proud of herself. Even though her feelings seem extreme without explanation, she's not shown to be unstable or senseless. Rather, she's reacting to her reality, as refracted through illness.

i think bale and nikto r very similar in their rooming situations but like not also at the same time. nikto doesnt want to let go of anything. bale just doesnt really think about it but it's not like, dirty, just disorganised. he probably has a mess of a desk because he's always got new shit to deal with. he still knows where everything is though and he doesn't have nearly as much because bale doesn't really care to keep things that dont have immediate value to him. minotaur i think surprisingly would be very neat and organised, like it would be a major sign his mental state is slipping if his room is in disarray or he stops taking as good care of himself. i think maxim has a lot of pride in his appearance and by extension the appearance of his space. that being said, it's not like, museum level, he's just relatively neat and i dont think keeps a lot of things in general. kinda like krueger except not as extreme in not having anything.
