Mima's theme. ...OMG, DID YOU HEAR MIMA WAS CONFIRMED FOR THE NEW GAME!? ...No? That's 'cause she wasn't~.
It's fitting for someone with a theme called "Reincarnation," whose role as a vengeful spirit is to seek "return," to be associated with a fandom joke about "needing to return." Who knows, maybe she has already taken new form and appeared somewhere? I wrote this thinking of how bits of her old character already echo through the new canon: through Marisa's spell cards and astronomical motifs, certain familiar plot elements... In the end, Mima is most fun to imagine as someone who is always haunting behind the scenes.

“Well, hello there. It’s been a while…”
Sealed in a sacred shrine…
Back to claim what’s mine…
By light of day, I fade away…
But by the night, I come to play…
Because revenge is the end I seek… ((Return to the scene of the crime))
Here I reach my peak… ((Soon is the time))
Those pits of hell to which I fell… ((As the lower you go, the higher I stand))
They can’t contain this magic spell… ((Who cast me down, now fall by my hand))
This dripping knife is the edge of a journey new.
One life would be far too short, far too few…
Strife is the future in store for you.
Death is too easy, too easy to undo…!
Spin for me, spin for me, spin for me! ((Orbit for me alone))
Forever, I’m the center of my orrery. ((A universe all my own))
While darkness reigns, I entrust with the sun ((Reach for a star unknown…))
Those human hands that reach beyond humanity.
My wish fulfilled, you saw the full moon shine. ((You’ve been having your fun))
Some fateful day, the bodies all shall realign: ((Blind to a deed long done))
They’ll SPIN AROUND, spin around only one, ((There’s only room for one…))
And everything - oh, everything - it will be mine.
“...What? There’s no going back now. Isn’t this what you asked for?
Who do you think I am anyway... Just a rumor? Just an urban legend?
I’ll give you plenty of reason to believe… I’m so much more than that.”
More… give me more! Settle the score:
Reborn, twice as strong as before…
I am chained to no body, existing higher:
Take any form as I may desire.
Stake all the doubters upon the pyre;
Then, soon enough I will rise from the fire…!
Fill the gaps deep in your memory. ((Follow the story straight))
Those spirits called my lucky number, can’t you see? ((Surely it’s only fate))
I’ll answer now, ready, I’ll play the part, ((I’ll reincarnate…))
Just waiting on a single word to set me free.
Your mind is as weak as the night is black. ((Remember the forgotten art))
It’s just imagination that you seem to lack… ((I’ll be happy to open your heart))
I’ve BEEN AROUND, been around from the start, ((From the very start…))
And certainly - oh, certainly - I will be back.
