#and how EVERYTHING is written to tie into Suletta and Miorine's relationship

[livegastrodonreaction]

The repeated symbolism of closed doors in this fucking show makes me want to push my head into a pillow and sob until I pop a blood vessel in my eye.

In Planet Quetta, the door between Suletta and Miorine is forced open by Miorine, as Suletta isolates herself in her self-doubt and is so confused and scared of the world around her. It's a moment of understanding and respite where Miorine pushes Suletta to move forward, but it's only temporary, shown by the fact that Miorine has to force the door open and broken immediately by Suletta's brutal murder of the man trying to kill Delling Rembran.

But in Episode 22, this time it's Suletta who is trying to coax the door open. Neither her or Miorine forces it open, indicating that this time, the understanding is real and permanent and they want to face their sins together. It's a much more solemn retelling of the door scene at Planet Quetta, with many of the same feelings carried over but finally fully accepted. And though Suletta is the one to coax the door open, it's Miorine who is able to exit her isolation and opens the door herself, finally truly relying on Suletta for the first time - which gives Miorine the power to step forward on her own.

Both of them play a part in opening the door to Miorine's room, both of them finally understand that their love can be unconditional, both of them are able to trust and rely on each other fully, both of them finally understand that they are loved and valued. They've grown so much since Planet Quetta, and that reflects so beautifully here.

BRB, going to curl up into a ball and rock back and forth while sobbing uncontrollably until my muscles atrophy and I wither away.
