Elsa being Michiru’s ex isn’t my idea, but I like the thought that this is about THAT rather than just running (also fight me Haruka doesn’t need to be THE BEST at running none of the girls need to be the best at their thing)

Like, I see Elsa and MIchiru being an alright teen couple, Elsa’s more into it than Michiru, but she knows and is okay with it (she kind of figures that’s just how MIchiru is, and for the most part she’s not wrong). But then Haruka shows up, and Elsa SEES the spark. So she steps aside graciously, knowing it’s the right thing to do. And she doesn’t mourn the loss of Michiru, but does get stuck on the fact that she couldn’t reach her. However many months they were together, she couldn’t get past Michiru’s exterior. Haruka just breezes in and shatters it. It’s hard not to internalize that.
