I keep thinking about the concept of a ghost turning into an "evil spirit" that's in lots of manga and ghosts, typically tied to refusing to pass on long enough and/or harming the living. Aizawa is doing both, although only on a minor scale did far. But she's escalating over time, seemingly without any conscious ill intent: she's gone from ripping up that script and making Michi bleed to slamming Michi in the head with a soccer ball to even possessing someone, even if that last one could be justified. She seems to be going down a bad road for a ghost to go.
I kind of like that Aizawa acts on impulses (or instinct?) so much. I imagine impulse control is more difficult when a person is so isolated. (That is, if we can even talk about impulse control when someone doesn't have a physical brain, much less a frontal lobe.)
It's like being strapped in a simulation pod Matrix style, but in the simulation you're confined to one location, can't speak to anyone, and your only way to interact with the world is weak telekinesis or possession.
So for Aizawa, seeing Michi and the others continue to treasure her memory must have been key to maintaining her sanity. Learning that Michi and the senpai know that she's present could make a huge difference for her, so I really hope this happens soon.
