MILGRAM - Mahiru covers “Parasite“ (English subs)

Mahiru totally killing it once again with getting remixes that are exactly to my tastes. She also scared me by having a cover that’s longer than the original; I got very worried about how I was gonna extend the length of a proper PV, but thankfully the extended portion is at the very end, so I just needed to repeat the shifting purple to fill in time, though on a whim I decided to repeat the scene of the last line when it shows up again. The English subs on the official video are split up in ways that make some of them go by too fast, so I decided to combine a few of them for hopefully easier reading. I also touched up a couple of lines to sound a little clearer or at least more natural. Anyway, y’know, after everything that happened to Mahiru while Es was asleep (my girl did not deserve to get BEATEN TO AN INCH OF HER LIFE, KOTOKO), I was absolutely prepared to vote her Innocent/Forgiven no matter what, but after the video dropped, I’m actually not so sure anymore. Then I listened to the voice drama and ooh boy was I very tempted to regain my resolve for Innocent all the way, baby!, listening to Mahiru was even MORE heartbreaking than listening to Futa was. Even poor Es was crying!! Like, even with her basically willing to die for her flawed ideas, she really does seem like a fundamentally good person, so it’s hard to say what this next verdict will do to her. Things would be a lot easier if I could go back to my old way of thinking and just see her as merely the star of a story rather than a character I want to influence and see saved lol. ~I chose the thumbnail I did since cake is suddenly very symbolically relevant to Mahiru now lol~
