Despite all their conflicts and whether or not it was romantic, those four loved each other so, so much. Even Sua cared for Till according to the context of the comic, despite it never being properly shown. Mizi and Ivan were best friends.

I love how even after puberty made Ivan bigger, stronger, and now a very plausible physical threat to her (someone who could "crush" her) Mizi is still completely at ease with him

Look at this dude he's Built

in contrast to the emphasis on ivan witnessing the expanse of the night sky under life or death situations, mizi cultivates a simplistic and fake version of it in the safety of four closed walls with sua. these scenarios are used to both set up a world and destroy it.

ivan is notably the only child to see the night sky in its entirety, because of his background. but how it's related to his experiences makes it clear that he associates with that which is external to him - freedom.

mizisua often watch a portion of the night sky together from within anakt garden. even when mizi looks at the sky, she sees it warped due to her astigmatism. as their reality grows more harsh towards them, they find comfort back with the light projector from mizi's early childhood, a simulated night sky for when it's not night time. their envisioned freedom grows distorted as they can't bear to face their true fates, but they need this sweet dream for comfort.

the contrast between these two shows that while ivan constantly faces reality, and understands what freedom entails, mizisua don't. mizisua do witness and understand reality, they only see a narrow, blurred version, and choose to shelter themselves instead. till, on the other hand, continually turns away from reality, unable to face truth in fear of damaging his fragile psyche.

under the stars, both pairs have a "run back" scene. till runs back to the garden, in fear of the unknown; mizi runs back to sua, unable to ignore her suffering anymore. the aftermath is that ivan's hope and will to freedom disappears (yesterday's daydream), and the illusion of mizi's innocence disappears (the night collapses).

their idol creates the idealised world - the star lights up the night sky. ivan's stars fall and die, since there is no averting their predetermined fates. mizi's stars have always been fake, since their shared dream has been too.

they face the reality of "stars" - the death of an illusory dream constructed under their light. ivan's stars spin him a lie of freedom, mizi one of innocence.
