User blog comment:Promestein/Starcross - Happy Birthday EQUINOX/@comment-28644276-20190306035035/@comment-27123758-20190306040041

Yeah, this is just another day in EQUINOX's life of misery with SOLSTICE. I wanted to suggest the commonplace nature of this stuff with how ready EQUINOX is for it when she realizes she's angered her, how quickly she starts to panic and backtrack in the name of her own safety.

A big part of the story is how Minna, EQUINOX, and SOLSTICE all deal with their trauma and move forward as people, and with SOLSTICE's failure to truly confront it, and instead flee. Ironically, all the running she does from the things that scare her, and from her past, means that these things hurt and control her more than anyone else.

It really is fitting, for so many reasons. And I'd say that's quite accurate. She really just weakly goes out at the end of their fight.
