Who is Mai as a person? Bungie doesn’t give us much to go on in Oni, although that’s partly justified because Konoko is an identity constructed by the TCTF. She didn’t know anything except life at the TCTF, and whether through osmosis, or a fondness for justice, she might have wanted nothing more than to be a cop when she grew up. | Who is Mai as a person?

She eventually is violently separated from that identity when her closest friend Shinatama is detonated in an attempt to kill her. I wrote [[CHAPTER_12_._SINS_OF_THE_FATHER#Added_Value |HERE]] that the game’s story can be broken into three acts, and Act 1, which has “Konoko” as the main character, ends with that event. | She eventually is violently separated from that identity when her closest friend Shinatama is detonated in an attempt to kill her.

Act 2 is about a “Konoko/Mai” who knows her real name but is adrift, uncertain what her past or future is. Her actions in going to Regional State are easy to predict, as Griffin says, because she is no longer much of a person with an identity; she needs information about herself in order to make decisions and function as a human being with free will. Temporarily lacking an identity, she encounters Mukade and rejects his offer of an identity based on violence (ironically, rejecting this using violence herself). | Act 2 is about a “Konoko/Mai” who knows her real name but is adrift, uncertain what her past or future is.
