while the issue of a lack of communication is more established in ships like ivantill or luhyu, this comic specifically speaks that all alnst ships have a lack of fundamental communication, including mizisua.
unknowingly, in an attempt to comfort and provide for mizi, sua ends up being more controlling as well. it ties back to her tendencies of self sacrificial behavior that end up becoming more selfish, the more her partner indulges in it. we see this warped kindness in alnst as well, where sua sees mizi as an innocent and fundamentally perfect person, which in of itself is a wrong perception of mizi, putting her on a pedestal to ensure she never leaves.
conversely, mizi’s self hatred of herself is pushed onto sua as a coping mechanism. as we’ve seen in previous media and comics, mizi acts passive to others, even apologizing when something is not her fault, something that she clearly despises of herself. so, when faced with an opportunity, she denies, and pushes her own insecurities onto sua. we see this explicitly in “fragile god, fading fast,” as well, where we see mizi’s obsession of sua’s fragility, showing that this is a mutually toxic cycle.
while mizisua do deeply and truly love each other, and their hearts are intertwined in almost every universe, the passiveness that sua seems to provide makes her complaints look like a sign to mizi that she’s just being annoying, as sua has consistently put mizi on a pedestal. when mizi shows a negative emotion over something, she does so in a way that ends up demeaning herself, which makes sua disregard the rest of the conversation. and the saddest part is that yet again, in this universe, their last conversation was an argument. a misunderstanding. they never got to sit down and talk. stripped from a true happy ending
