What interests me here is I am 5000% sure Michiru didn’t
have dreams of Uranus telling her to join the fight. (Unless my memory is
wrong, I think there’s dialogue later in which Michiru implies she was fighting
for a bit before realizing Haruka was her partner in the mission and I view
that as implying this as well.) I think Michiru’s dreams show her things, but
she’s informing herself, so to speak. It’s her powers showing her what’s
coming, not a separate entity or even ~destiny~.  She sees the fights and destruction on the
horizon, and when the time comes she calls to Neptune’s power and it answers. She
doesn’t exactly know it’s there, but her dreams give her an idea and intuition
does the rest.

So what, exactly, causes Haruka’s dreams? She’s no seer.
While I think she has instincts that push her to fight, it’s different than
intuition that might manifest into dreams. I think a likely explanation is that
Michiru/Neptune is projecting into Haruka’s sleeping mind. Sharing part of her vision,
and giving Haruka instruction. It’s not conscious on Michiru’s part, she’s desperate,
lonely, in the night when her guard is down she can’t help but reach out
and her powers take her further than she’d ever expect.

(Does Michiru remember being in Haruka’s dream? Maybe,
though I don’t know that she’d feel the difference from a vision. Could Michiru
learn to do this consciously if she did so choose? Definitely)

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.
