>point of being fine with planning and executing the killings
But we did see her justification, remember? It's basically Cypher's argument in the Matrix. Just like how Rika doesn't care about past fragments, only the winning one. All her friends in those failed worlds can rot for all she cares, and we know she's willing to kill to ensure her happiness if needed. Satoko is just more unhinged about it, and in the end Rika wasn't even all that mad, given how much Satoko caused her suffering she seemed pretty damn okay with her in the finale. In a way, Rika is also very loose about the concepts of death and murder.

Those "unnatural circumstances" are the very reason Rika and Satoko stop caring about any consequence and treat kakeras like a videogame. It's the age old story of someone going mad with power, it can happen to anyone. The humblest hobo can become the most severe dictator. Witch Satoko is just the personification of that common trope alongside severe emotional motivation, so it's not like it spurned out of nowhere. The problem is that Satoko herself had already realized she was wrong early on, but the witch side kept going anyways, so I have no reason to keep caring about "Satoko" anymore. Making Witch Satoko sprout even earlier would only hurt things more and make me care even less about this story.

I always hated the concept of the dual Satoko thing anyways. It should have been Satoko just learning from her mistakes and explaining exactly why she was wrong, not this witch thing appearing to justify the continuation of the murders after Satoko had already regretted everything. Not that we were given a satisfying reason for goodtoko's change of mind anyway, Teppei treated her well and now she regrets killing Rika? Not convincing at all, she doesn't even address her personal issues with Rika, she just decides she was wrong and that's it.

Retards still comparing looper morality to that of regular people who don't know about fragments. It's the whole reason Rika's justified in coldly dumping her friends from previous fragments and leaving them to rot, never caring about them again, especially not in her perfect world of Matsuribayashi.

Why would it be anything else when to a looper, it doesn't matter what happens to anyone when they're basically toys that you have infinite copies of so you can break them all you want? If Satoko wanted anything to do with Keiichi, she wouldn't have done it in a kakera where she's planning to kill Rika in because it's already not a perfect world.

Remember, all she cares about is her perfect ending, every other world is expendable, similar to what Rika thought.

>would always choose to bottle up her feelings
That's literally what happens in Gou though, her bottling her feelings and not opening up to Rika's help suggestions has always been a flaw of hers.
>none of the obsessive/possessive behavior towards Satoshi that she displays towards Rika
She doesn't with Rika either, only after getting looper powers does she go crazy. Before that she was just sad like a regular person. She also feels betrayed by Rika so it's not like this is out of the blue.

I feel like everyone keeps forgetting how Satoko was normal before someone gave her god powers and told her her actions won't have consequences anymore.
>she just decides to kill them and drive them insane and torture Rika without a shred of remorse? Really?
Why wouldn't she when her friends are replaceable with exact if not better copies that learn from past mistakes? Rika has the same phillosophy remember?

It's not about doing something about it, it's about feeling something. It really drives home how disposable she thinks her alternate world friends are in past loops, because all that matters is that perfect end goal. She's similar to Satoko in that regard.

She's right you know.
