hmm how should I word this….I don’t think Mikage is as ‘innocent’ nor as ‘pure’ as many like to believe.

When it comes to her interactions with Izaya in high school we are given the very bare minimum and even then many interpret it in a way that implies Izaya in some way ‘ruined’ or ‘messed’ with Mikage which is quite different from the way Mikage reminisces over it. (Even I at times think Izaya in some way caused her to become messed up.) However, she doesn’t seem to view her interactions with Izaya in a negative light at all. In fact she seems to consider Izaya’s influence over her to have been more to her benefit. But until we are shown more I can’t be certain. I remember popsiclete once stating that production of a book with her and Kine’s past had been planned for publishing, but for whatever reasons had not yet been published and I feel like if we were exposed more to what she was like in high school and how her interactions with Izaya changed her we’d have a better understanding of Mikage and the choices she makes in Durarara!! now.

But here is my guess as to why Mikage is helping Izaya currently.
