MICHIRU 100% BEING READY FOR HARUKA TO HATE HER, IF ONLY SO THAT SHE MIGHT SEE WHAT TAKING UP THE TRANSFORMATION ROD WILL MEAN IS MY SHIT

ALSO HARUKA TALKING A BIG GAME BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE SHE MAKES THE SAME CHOICE

It’s interesting to me that after this, Haruka never blames Michiru. She never puts the guilt on Michiru the way she does herself. Michiru must be endlessly guilty and that special mix of sad-frustrated that Haruka can never extend the same understanding and compassion she has for Michiru to herself. She’d take all the hatred on herself if she could. She was ready to.
