Muurei

Muurei is the femslash ship between Muu Kusunoki and Rei from the MILGRAM fandom.

Canon
Although the specifics of their relationship is up to speculation, we do know that Muu and Rei are schoolmates. It's highly speculated that Rei was bullied by Muu, causing her to turn the tides and bully Muu as revenge. Rei is the reason that Muu is currently in MILGRAM as she is the person that Muu killed. Muu's music videos suggest that she felt great regret after killing Rei and likely did it in the heat of the moment.

After Pain
In Muu's first trial music video "After Pain", Rei is the only person we can see the face of, while the others have a blank face, meaning that Rei was important to Muu, as she is the only victim where we can see her face in the series. We first see Rei when she sees Muu laying on the bathroom floor with toilet paper and water around her. Rei looks down at her with an unbothered expression, then walks past her. After Rei walks past her, the lyrics sing "I love YOU". Right after that scene, we see things in Muu's perspective and she is running towards Rei. Muu reaches out to Rei while the lyrics sing "I love YOU" again. Muu grabs Rei's arm, and she's sobbing while trying to apologize or say something to Rei. Rei stares at Muu, once again, with an unbothered expression. Rei snatches her arm away from Muu's grip, and in the next seen Muu stabs Rei while screaming.

Muu seems to be traumatized from this as she is seen staring down at her box cutter (which she is shakily holding) with a shocked expression. The MVs imply that she did this out of the heat of the moment, and that the murder wasn't premeditated.

It's Not My Fault
In Muu's second trial music video "It's Not My Fault", we see Rei looking at Muu with a disgusted expression, as it is revealed that Muu was actually a bully before her peers turned the tables on her. We then go back to the scene in After Pain's music video after Muu had just stabbed Rei. Muu is breathing heavily and looking down, still holding her box cutter. But then she looks up with a deranged expression on her face. At the end of the music video, Rei is drenched in water standing in the classroom; it's implied Muu had bullied her. Rei then flips the hourglass in the classroom, likely alluding to the events of 'After Pain.'

Interrogations
In the first trial interrogation, Question 9 asks, "Do you have apologetic feelings for who you killed [Rei]?" to which Muu replies with "The person who did the wrong thing first should apologize". In the second trial interrogation, Question 6 asks, "Do you remember the name of the person you killed?" and Muu replies with "Of course I do? It's Rei, right?". Muu was also asked if she regretted killing Rei in Question 18 to which she replies saying "Mmh, I should have chosen my friends better."

Fanon
Muurei is a decently popular ship in the Milgram fandom. A popular theory within the fandom is that Muu had feelings for Rei as most times when Rei was shown in "After Pain" the lyrics would sing "I love YOU". Most fans agree that "YOU" is referring to Rei.

Some don't like the ship as it is murderer x victim, and the fact the MVs imply that Muu and Rei bullied one another back and forth. Although most shippers don't think Muu and Rei should actually be together and only enjoy the possible romantic part of their relationship.

On Ao3, Muurei is the third most written ship for Muu and the most written for Rei. Its biggest rival is Harumuu, along with Esmuu and Yunomuu.
