miku's role

soulmates (my og n25 post)

think of that scene where he defends her against their father. even then, while supposedly on her side, he agrees with shinei that she really is too emotional, and hence he should go easy on her. these two men are more or less on the same page.

that could be, and likely is, because of ena's personality and mental health issues, which akito has had to deal with the brunt of. but misogyny is still at play.

a phenomenon

a force of nature

a necessity for sustaining life

january: ena's kana6 card cameo and side story where mizuki notices ena looks tired and invites her out partially because of that but mostly because she just wanted to. and she said all that out loud to her face.

february (ish): ena's not-white-day card side story where mizuki reveals she got front row seats to watch ena perform and hyped her up like crazy.

march: the kokuhaku 2dmv where they're basically snuggling. also the shot of ena from wounded hands always showing up at the word "happiness." also them singing "i'm glad i met you" directly to each other in the 3dmv.
