I simply cannot, I repeat, cannot, get over how cute chibi Miyuki and Shizuma are.
I mean, honestly, chibi Shizuma is just so cool/cute and in certain shots, almost looked like an older brother to the somewhat timid-looking Miyuki. Yeah I know, the great Rokujou-kaichou looking timid...well, she was crying then, and almost everybody looks vulnerable when they cry. ^__^
It's inspiring me to write drabbles about the two of them. Not really in any real romantic sense, but stuff on their friendship, because THEIR CHIBI SELVES ARE WAY TOO CUTE. Hehe.
Oh my goodness, the kawaii-ness. Honestly. I played back the short flashback scene in episode 9 multiple times just to see the two of them. My gosh, chibi Shizuma = too cute for words. Haha.
Besides, I think I just realised that Miyuki usually calls Shizuma by her name only when they were alone or in non-official settings. And I realise that as of now, only Shizuma ever refers to Miyuki by name, everyone calls her Rokujou-kaichou or something along that effect. I'm doublechecking those facts now, wouldn't want to get it wrong now, would we? ^___^
Ahhh now I see. Yep, only person who refers to her as "Shizuma" is still only Miyuki...and I really need to find out the names of those two other girls who "escort" *coughguarddogscough* Shizuma around to make sure she doesn't run away from her Etoile duties. They appear to be close friends, or at least acquaintances with Shizuma, after all, they mentioned that they have known Shizuma for 12 years, all the way from kindegarten. XD
I love the dynamic between Shizuma and Miyuki. Miyuki always acting like a mother hen and lecturing Shizuma for escaping from her Etoile duties (at least right at first), and generally being the mature and strong one of the two. Shizuma seems somewhat flighty in comparison, despite her calm demeanour that she presents to the rest of the school. Then we get hit by the double whammy in episode 9, that Shizuma turns out to be the stronger one (when they were kids) and was Miyuki's source of strength and inspiration. I suspect that Miyuki's strict adherence to rules and such, and her commitment to her role as the Student Council President, is an outgrowth of her promise to Shizuma that she would be strong and persevere, because Shizuma came for her when she was crying alone in the hallway.
So cute right? And Miyuki actually zoned out in class and Shizuma had to whisper to her to wake up and tell her where they stopped at. I found the following lines very meaningful.
Shizuma: That's rare, you usually aren't like that. You better work harder.
Miyuki: Thank you. (in response to Shizuma's help earlier) *thinks to herself* Work harder, eh?
Interestingly, Miyuki was blushing after Shizuma gently chided her for zoning out in class. Embarrassment for not being her usual strong, composed self? Possibly. It's almost as if I could see shades of their old relationship as kids, with Miyuki being dependent on Shizuma. At this point in the anime, this is startling as it almost seemed in previous episodes that Miyuki had to have to rein Shizuma in like a mother disciplines her child. Role reversal much? But it betrays the fact that Miyuki still very much relies on Shizuma in a symbolic sense, that Shizuma, despite her seemingly irresponsible behaviour at times in previous episodes, still technically has a hold over Miyuki, who constantly strives to attain the level of strength and perfection that Shizuma has. Very very fascinating.
So many possibilities. XD Gotta go now though, be back later. Ja!
