Wait! Maybe it isn't like that.....like it's a double twist!
I think it’s the author fucking with our minds and he wouldn’t actually do that. Because I’m the painting there was the five of them, I think he wants to protect one of Mildred’s girls who might be Kyle? Or maybe Kyle is just a stalker and not a pseudonym for one of the girls...I feel like I got it all wrong
And maybe Kyle is actually Ashley's mother?? (●￣(ｴ)￣●)
Riiight. Its very likely that the author just want us to think like mildred. That it was right not to trust him fully nor anybody else. To keep us on our toes

But what if this is what the author actually planned that we'll think they just be tricking us and that it cant happen so they will make it true! jk!
It could be a real plot twist or author could just be fucking with our mind with how they already established that mildred doesnt trust people whole heartedly so they need us to be on our toes too
