It started with a new drama.
With Dark Moon being finished, Kyoko was able to take on another job.
It wasn't a role she immediately fell in love with, but she felt that she could relate well with the character.
The girl had been betrayed by her boyfriend that had always taken her for granted. So when she had decided she was finished with him and left, he was decidedly confused.
The only part that Kyoko had trouble understanding was how the girl treated her ex whenever they'd happen to meet.
It wasn't until Kyoko read a line from the character that she had her epiphany.
By becoming upset because of Shoutaro she was letting him rule her life, just as much as he had before. But if she treated him as though he were nothing other than another random musician (with indifference) then not only would she confuse him, she would also be telling him blatantly that she didn't give a rat's ass about him. And there was nothing Shoutaro hated worse than not being the center of someone's world.
Polite indifference would also work on others that she couldn't stand, like Reino from that Beagles group.
And thus, Mogami Kyoko created a stage personality.
