![]() Miku doesn't need "comfort and support" from Hibiki. She's the sunshine in Hibiki's life. Hibiki is the one who's emotionally dependant on Miku whereas Miku just likes spending time together with her or seeing her working hard. All Miku wants from Hibiki is some genuine sense that she is special in Hibiki's life. When Hibiki is around Miku, she treats her like she's special. "Sunshine of my life", "warmest spot I know", etc. However, when Hibiki is off doing stuff away from Miku, she often acts like she forgets Miku even exists (getting lost in her training, ditching Miku for Tsubasa, etc.). That's the problem. If Miku is only special to Hibiki part of the time (the times when it's convenient for Hibiki), then its impossible for Miku to treat Hibiki as special all of the time herself. However, it's not like Miku has some switch which allows her to turn off her feelings for Hibiki, or like Miku can even know what times Hibiki will be available (i.e. whether they'll be able to go on their date or not). If Miku must be forced to scale back her expectations for Hibiki, it might be easier to simply have no relationship at all. |

In the end, the core problem isn't that Miku ended their friendship. It isn't about how Miku abandonned Hibiki because "she couldn't take not being the center of Hibiki's world" and how she's being unfair to Hibiki who has to save the world. Most people simply forget about the things Miku's done for Hibiki, they take her for granted and expect that she'll always be the strong, supportive background character. The core problem is the unbalanced relationship, one partner is totally committed and the other partner fails to show their appreciation. It went well as long as Hibiki was the only one in need of support. But the moment Miku's own weaknesses surfaced, their relationship imploded. Miku's reaction is just the natural result of this relationship setup. Both, or neither of the characters are at fault here.

Why do you think certain people are claiming that Miku is selfish? It's specifically because of what you are saying here, that she wants Hibiki to treat her specially all the time despite knowing of what kind of business she's gotten involved in. Quote:

Ultimately, the fact is that the relationship didn't work, so Miku ended it. Now it's time to see how Hibiki deals with herself without Miku, and whether she will try to make up wit her of not. Either way, it's her decision to make.

"You know too much." *GN-Mega launcher-ed* I think if we relook at the episode with subs again, we may get the answer on whether is it Finé or Finč. Or...What language is her name? Since her name means "end" in english, maybe if I use google translate, we may get the answer too. |

Come to think of it, we don't know what the agency people told Miku. What if they told Miku the same thing the told Hibiki. That Hibiki might get hurt if she is around her. I think that Miku doesn't really want to "break off" with Hibiki. Miku cried when she "dumped Hibiki" and we know from episode 1 that she is really sad that Hibiki died.

I think whats really needs to be pointed out is what I think upset Miku the most: she heard from a third party what Hibiki was doing, when she should've heard it from Hibiki herself.
I would like to think that if Hibiki "manned-up" and told Miku what was going on, Miku would give Hibiki the third degree, but then forgive her somewhat and then insist Hibiki tell her the truth when "work" related stuff comes up. |

It was already troublesome that Hibiki had to cancel their arrangements at the last minute, but it always seemed like it was something out of her control, so Miku let it slide and covered for her. Unplanned emergencies are understandable. However, when Hibiki started training, she also began to skip out on schoolwork and time with Miku voluntarily. The notion is only reinforced when Miku finds Hibiki happily conversing with Tsubasa. Yuri goggles aside, Hibiki talking to Tsubasa doesn't look like an uncontrollable circumstance. When Hibiki's ditching becomes voluntary, it makes her come off as insincere, like she's taking advantage of Miku's kindness and expecting her to cover on a regular basis. Miku hearing what Hibiki has been up to from a third party makes Hibiki seem even more insincere. Was Hibiki ever going to tell Miku? It doesn't seem likely. If Hibiki apologizes, does she expect Miku to accept it and continue covering for her? That's an unbalanced relationship. |

![]() Anyway, to bring the tired, old married couple cliche into this: Hibiki is sleeping on the couch for the foreseeable future with a helping of cold shoulder to go with it! ![]() But, I do hope that they can work it out before the grand finale, otherwise, it makes the episode one teaser even more bittersweet than it already is... |

According to sirn, 'Fine' means 'End' in musical composition. It seems to be an English term derived from Italian. The English equivalent of the pronunciation is Finé, and not Finč. I'm a little curious as to which of the two the NicoNico subs will use. Last edited by Ray; 2012-02-23 at 17:57. |

State secrets are serious business. It's the type of stuff people can get killed for. The moment Hibiki joined the agency she became an agent of the state. As such she had to separate her personal life from her professional life. |

I don't think anyone will know what language is that unless the subber knows the language well enough, or he is just lucky to guess that language. Hmm...speaking of Ryoko and Finé, you guys said that those 2 are the same person due to VA issues, did i miss out another evidence that leads to them being the same person?

Hibiki knows Miku shouldn't get involved as it is the stuff that can get her detained indefinitely or murdered over. Hibiki will make the time if she has the time. Given the agency has only two Symphogear users and one of which is currently handicapped Hibiki has a responsibility for and obligation to her country. Hibiki can't quit because people die. She's seen that two years before. It's even happening now. |

Well, some times she had the time yet she still neglected her personal life.
Either way though, she made the choice to join the organization on her own, so it's her responsibility if her personal life got messed up because of it.

But that would make too much sense, and that wouldn't allow room for convenient drama. Hell, she would have a team of psychiatrists working with her on daily basis to ensure she stays sane given the new enviroment she, a regular teenage girl, has been thrown in and forced to fight for her life. The second they would have caught wind that Hibiki's emotional state is largely dependent on Miku's support, Hibiki would have to threaten them not to reveal it all to Miku in order to squeeze as much emotional support out of her for their irreplaceable symphogear user as possible. The whole situation is pretty silly to start with.
