Honestly, Kokichi’s relationship with her goes even deeper. He was the only one who scratched the surface of her because he was so good at reading people. Moreover, he valued Miu’s talent as an inventor enough to trust her with his plans. In a way, they showed their true colours to each other more than they did the others. So, choosing Kokichi as her victim probably wasn’t a painless decision.
i'm kind of unwell about Miu Iruma to be honest. she's a jerk and she says horrible things but she's also a lonely inventor with extreme abandonment issues and actual delusional breaks. she firmly doesn't believe she's human and she assumes everyone's out to destroy her because of it. imagine you go through your whole life like that but you're smart and you can Make Stuff. and then get caught in a killing game and to get out and help humanity you have to nail the dude that everyone hates. Easy Peasy. you set it up to be a perfect plan. but he outsmarts you even at that. another loss for you in a long line of losses. your death is slow and painful and only the kid you called a slur and the other kid you didn't even consider "real" mourn you. i have rabies because of her. i have holes in my fucking brain
