The thing with Mizuan is that Mizuki very deeply wants to be accepted as a girl among girls, to be extended a legitimate claim to femininity that other girls are entitled to as a given, through being seen and treated as a “normal” girl by “normal” girls, and that’s a large part of why her relationship with An is how it is. An is kind of extremely blasé about Mizuki being trans, she’s kind enough, but it’s extremely clear that she does not understand being societally condemned, subject to extreme prejudice, and therefore does not understand Mizuki’s position or feelings with any depth. An likes Mizuki, regards her easily and shamelessly as a friend and a girl, and that’s something disgustingly few people have had the decency to offer Mizuki, so Mizuki deeply appreciates An, and they genuinely get along well. An extends normativity to Mizuki. An extends girlhood to Mizuki.

The thing with Mizurui is that no matter how much care and affirmation and affection Rui could give Mizuki, it won’t mean as much to Mizuki as it would coming from a girl, and Rui is not a girl (for these intents and purposes), much less a normative one. Rui is, if in a different sense than Mizuki, also subject to societal condemnation and prejudice. Rui doesn’t understand Mizuki’s specific experiences, but does understand where their experiences of marginalization overlap, stripped of a claim to humanity. Through this, Rui is important to Mizuki, as someone who Gets It, even slightly. Through this, Rui is someone that cannot extend to Mizuki a higher social position even slightly, nor is his acceptance something Mizuki particularly covets, though it is nice to have. Rui can’t do “normal” or “girl” in a way that would affirm Mizuki’s claim to either. Hell, Rui’s exempt from doing “guy” in way that would affirm Mizuki, heterosexually.

As part of this, I think Rui and An necessarily envy or “feel genuinely happy for Mizuki that she has the other in her life to give her what they can’t but nonetheless feel sort of excluded and wanting when witness to” each other’s relationships with Mizuki. To Rui, that An and Mizuki are friends, are girls, that An is someone that Mizuki will seek out on a good day, is someone she straightforwardly values and seeks the attention/affection of. To An, that Rui and Mizuki are close, are similar, that Rui is someone Mizuki trusts to understand her on bad days, is someone she shares an inimitable inseparable inarticulable history with. There’s a part of both of them that wants that too.

Okay, So I'm not making Mizu5 about An, because it's not. And like An has a very small role within the story event. However... I can't help but think about how interesting the 2-A theme is dress-up. It makes me wonder if An has strongly suggested their class to do it since it would help Mizuki blend in more. Something An mentioned to Mizuki on the last school festival. Yeah, there is a hugeeeee chance that I'm reaching due to my bias (I deeply love Mizuki's and An's friendship). Like it is highly possible that there are just that many peeps within 2-A that love making clothes/fashion (heck Akito is a street fashion nerd). But this is also something An would do to help make Mizuki feel more comfortable in school. There has been times where An would subtlety do things to make sure Mizuki is happy and comfortable. Such as An's words/action in the previously mentioned Kamiyama School Festival Event, but also in the Cheerleading Squad Event too. Where An purposefully pick the short end so she can be part of the squad with Mizuki.
