My head is exploding right now, Suletta still instinctively trusts Miorine.
Like yes, Eri/Aerial are what make Suletta realize that it’s Prospera behind everything, but she doesn’t even, for one second, entertain the idea that Miorine is responsible for what’s going on on Earth.
Chuchu is verbally questioning what Miorine is doing but not Suletta. The news is making it looks like it’s all Mio’s fault, but Suletta is putting the pieces together and even though Suletta was just hurt by Miorine, Suletta knows Miorine would never willingly start conflict. She might, in the back of her mind, be thinking ‘maybe Miorine also was doing all she could do, even if it wasn’t the best way.’
Are they planning to get her out of there. Does she have video games in there? Does she still have Suletta's VN collection? Has Mio ever forgotten to switch her off before she and Suletta fuck? Has Mio picked out far cuter stuffed animals over the years, and Eri tries vainly to get her consciousness put into a teddy bear instead of the butthole keychain? Does she have to be with Mio because she swears in front of the children Suletta works with? Does she get enrichment? Do you think she gaslights TSA workers by suddenly talking?
Thinking about Sulemio and Prospera exploiting it, and I just realized what in particular about the dynamic Prospera exploits.
We see throughout the show that Suletta and Miorine have intense self doubt and self worth issues. And guess how those issues are revealed to us? When they result from rifts in Sulemio's relationship.
Suletta and Miorine feed each other's self doubt, creating not only even more self doubt, but also a codependency on each other for validation. And that codependency is what Prospera exploits to bring Miorine to a desperate tipping point, causing her to believe that leaving Suletta was the only way to not just "be useful" to her bride, but fulfill her own idea that she has to do something worthwhile and be a "hero" to deserve love and affection.
Basically, Prospera exposes Sulemio's worst fears and flaws - their self doubt - causing the two lovers to only hurt each other as they tug on their linked chains. Therefore, the rest of Suletta and Miorine' character arcs will likely focus on both of them overcoming this to break out of Prospera's fucked up puppet show and form a healthier bond not ensnared in man or Gundam or else.
Does Keychain Eri need batteries ? Can she get lost under the counter or in a drawer ? Her previous body could be powered down , so there are obviously some rules she is bound by
