Can you get any lazier, Reimu? Find Mima, she's the only one who can smack some sense into Marisa and get her back on track. You and Marisa will be enemies again, but it appears that Marisa never really liked you in the first place.
I'm sure Marisa really does think of her as a friend, even as she resented her. Most people resent some things about the ones they love, but they still love them. Marisa's just focusing on the negatives and trying to destroy herself by burning her bridges.
Yes, lashing out at other people to hurt them is destroying herself too. Just as Marisa's pain is hurting others.
"No man is an island." Marisa's decision to give up and commit suicide is a denial of everyone around her. She denies that they care about her or that they even have the RIGHT to care. She declares that she's unworthy of love, spiting and despising the honest love that others feel for her. Marisa flat out doesn't care if she hurts them, and she would claim that they don't have the RIGHT to be hurt.
There's an element of selfishness in trying to save Marisa, yes. But there's also an element of real love in that.
Marisa is the one being selfish. She's become so wrapped up in herself that she refuses to trust anyone.

this is what I was thinking as well. At least for this comic (noting how Marisas vary depending on each work, and how none of them affect how I view canon Marisa), Mima would teach Marisa what training hard really means. Too many complaints, not enough effort.
tbh this Marisa, even though her "determinator" aspect is explored, sounds really different from canon Marisa, and the overall tone of the games in the present era. Nothing was hinted in canon about side-effects of the change from human into magician, also.
