mizuki lying to rui compilation:

from mizuki’s initial 1 star, side story 2. while we don’t know exactly what was on her mind, “um, nothing? everything’s fine” isn’t exactly convincing. she lies to him in her 1 star.

mizuki’s secret distance 4 star, side story 2. mizuki plays completely dumb here, responding to absolutely none of what rui’s saying except the literal words. she DID want to talk to him at lunch, on the roof, like old times, but seeing him happy with wxs as contrasted to her memories of him miserable on the roof with her, she resigned herself to sleeping through lunch instead.
picnic episode 1. mizuki then physically leaves this conversation the second she has the slightest excuse. this is self explanatory, but i do just wanna say rui materializing the second she thinks about the rooftop is really funny. especially after the above.
rui’s picnic 3 star, side story 1. mizuki manages to lie to rui before saying a single word. rui regarding her like a skittish prey animal and himself a hunter who missed his shot. “alarm bells” insane framing for wanting your friend( in solitude) to open up to you if she’s suffering. i mean it’s mizuki so it’s apt but still. a little later here, without being able to truly grasp what if anything is wrong, the conclusion he seems to come to about the smile she puts on is that she didn’t want him to feel bad by worrying about her. there’s no way of knowing if this is true, but it seems mizuki-like enough (the line between not wanting to worry her friends because she doesn’t want them to feel sad unnecessarily and not wanting to be worried about because she doesn’t want to think about things and get hurt is blurry, if distinguishable at all.)
picnic episode 8. the second rui tries to probe for more information, on how she’s doing, on how her relationship to ena and her circle is going as compared to “i don’t know if i could call them friends just yet, but i have met some people” as said in kamifes, mizuki shuts down the conversation entirely. she gives him a non-answer and all but hangs up on him.
path of thorns, episode 5. this time, rui doesn’t play along with the charade that she’s fine. this time, mizuki doesn’t run away and drops the charade entirely. even when rui offers her an out later, “of course, if you don’t want to talk about it—” she doesn’t take it “—no… i want you to hear me out, or something.” cue monologues!!! emotional sincerity!!!! FRIENDSHIP!!!!! this shit’s crazy. i wept.
