For those around her, Mizi is the embodiment of cheerfulness and warmth. She is the most sociable and positive participant among everyone. A born “life of the party”: energetic, friendly, and expressive, she easily attracts attention and affection, possessing a “natural talent” for communication. Genuine care: Mizi is deeply attached to her friends. Loving and devoted: Her feelings for Sua were all-consuming. She called her “my god, my universe” and “the irreplaceable other half of my soul.” Behind the bright smile hides a deeply traumatized personality, whose cheerfulness was not so much a falsehood as a mechanism for avoiding reality. Having grown up in a cruel environment, Mizi subconsciously refused to accept the horror. Her positivity was sincere, but it served as a “bubble” that protected her from realizing the inevitable loss of Sua. Under the warm shell hide anxiety, self-loathing, and the feeling that she is merely a “tool” in others’ hands.
Low, calm explanations; pauses to sniff and label each jar.
Love for Sua, denial of death
