You know people... I just realized.

All the ghouls that Mutsuki has interracted with solo can be seen as different aspects of her true self that she has been trying to hide from the surface through her lying.

Torso = Her dark side

Nutcracker = Her Feminity

Kanae = Her delusion

All of them are bound by a single theme that makes the foundation of their and her character.

"Obsession"

Torso's obsession with "Lost Love" (First Love)

Nutcracker's obsession with "Personal Love" (Self-Love)

Kanae's obsession with "Mutual Love" (Love of Others)

All three are also types of "Unrequited love" as well

Torso never found the girl he fell in love and never would, forcing him to keep killing without ever finding the support he needed in life to being able to let it go and move on turning him into a serial-killer.

Nutcracker never learned to love herself for who she was, continiously seeking ways to make herself "beautiful" despite already being a stunning woman, unable to see it herself as she had nobody to reassure her of her own self-image.

Kanae never managed to see gather the courage to tell the truth and confess her feelings for Shuu until it was too late, due to her inability of choosing between the truth and the lie she maintained as a "man", forcing her to suffer despite having been seen through by everyone but herself, as they played along in belief of honoring her wishes. Something which became Kanae's downfall.

All of these three ghouls carries aspects of Tooru Mutsuki that the later desperately tries to conceal all at once.

Her dark side (torso), her femine side (Nutcracker) and her "true" side (Kanae), all hidden away beneath the surface of a lie like avatars of Mutsuki's pshyce, which shattered after Torso, the last and first aspect, forced her into breaking all of the three sides up to the surface.

Releasing the three as one which we are now seeing in this very chapter.

All of them

There has been a connection between these four from the beginning, story-wise, and I find that amazing...

I just realized that today and wanted to share this with everyone (Even if the thought and theory is still partial and incomplete) in case nobody else realized this.

Ishida is one good writer...
