genuinely no character does it like namida michiru. every single person she interacts with fundamentally disagrees with her view on the purpose and value of human life and yet she persists unwaveringly, taking advantage of all she's given to craft by her own hands a world without human suffering - with the few sacrificed leading to that a necessary process. not a necessary evil, for what she does is not evil, it's humane. she is acting on humanity's behalf; she doesn't understand why it earns her such scrutiny, though she is also emotionally affected by enacting a child's death knowing the potential that lay there.
but isn't that what her purpose is, ultimately? to ensure that even lives ended early are granted "beautiful deaths" & able to live on through their recreations in body and in mind? she envisions a less violent world pursued in spite of everything asunaro so selfishly stands for and which gashu embodies.
she isn't a traitor like kai or emiri (will be), intending to undermine the game - out of a feeling of betrayal from emiri, and for kai: having found love worth much more... michiru aligns with asunaro as far as it will carry her, and is grateful to them for that. she is perhaps the only one who is. honored by the invitation.
