In the second part of this analysis, I set out to understand why Misa is portrayed as a young adolescent without any aspiration for her future. For the sake of completeness, I need to examine another possible explanation: that Misa is, in fact, merely a spoilt girl. It’s a convenient read, really: she was born into a household possessing power, privilege, connections, and money, and her parents could let her have and do anything she wanted. As a matter of fact, they proactively provided things unaffordable to the masses, such as a skiing trip to Nice (yes, there are ski resorts in the arrondissement of Nice; Ōnogi has Misa vaguely refer to Nice in a letter to Riber). What incentive, then, would she have to bother imagining a future where she’d be an autonomous person, earning her own life?
