Episode 04: "The Sunny Garden: Prelude"

"Love's True Colors"

A-ko: I wonder, I wonder... Do you know what I wonder?
B-ko: In elementary school, my first boyfriend was the best math student in class.
A-ko: Oh, I never knew. Even then you had a boyfriend?
B-ko: But...
B-ko: when he found out that pro wrestling
B-ko: and super sized garlic ramen
B-ko: were my favorites...
A-ko: "Now I know what kind of girl you are,"
B-ko: he said, and with that it was over.
A-ko: Oh, women in love, you young people dreaming of love...
B-ko: Are you aware of...
A-ko: ...love's true colors?
A-ko&B-ko: I wonder, I wonder... Do you know what I wonder?

If there is one thing that Miki is, it's deluded. From the first moment he says that Anthy at the piano reminds him of his sister as a child, we know that he isn't really in love with Anthy, he's in love with his sister.

He really has no idea of what Anthy is like. He just sees her as a reflection of what his sister used to be. Anthy may not be into pro wresting and super sized garlic ramen, but if Miki ever realized her true self, she wouldn't be nearly as appealing.

To add even more to that, Miki, in dueling to posess her, is going about the wooing process entirely the wrong way.

In short, Miki is deluded, deluded, deluded.
