let’s settle this, winner takes all

Obviously Till is infatuated with Mizi—Mizi represents all the hope and brightness and innocence in the world that Till, or any of the others at Anakt Garden, never got to experience for themselves. Till essentially lives vicariously through Mizi. However, I feel like post Round 6, Till’s flashbacks and present feelings during his face-off with Luka in Round 7 will show a new perspective that Till gains after Ivan’s death (or supposed death if my delusions have any truth to them, cOUGH).

I think Till truly loved Ivan. Maybe not in the way Ivan was gunning for, but imo, it’s impossible to read Till’s reactions to Ivan’s behavior as anything but love. Ivan was familiar to Till. He was a constant in his life since the first moment Till looked at him. They had a weird, fucked up friendship, but they were always with one another. Following Sua’s death, Mizi was on a trajectory to lose those rose-colored glasses she’d previously worn, which is the MAIN reason Till fell for her. To Till, Mizi is more of an idea than a person (hence why Mizi loves Sua, someone who always saw her for her). Once that idea is gone, Till was always going to be on a path to reevaluating his relationships with the other contestants. I think Round 6 was the final nail in the coffin. Like a “oh, it was always you, wasn’t it?” moment towards Ivan. Ivan was the constant. And I think Till would give just about anything to go back and let Ivan pester him again.

Ivan and Till love one another in different ways to varying degrees of weirdness, but Till let Ivan be there- was even going to run away with him at a time. A part of him craved those things and always will.

An alnst au where till loses an arm trying to escape alien stage 🤭 cuz I like robot limbs and he could be matching with hyuna, how fun.

I'm very lazy so imagine Ivan being very touchy with till. Also it doesn't make sense with the timeline since he's wearing a collar, I didn't think very hard ok?
