Even when spontaneously stripping to her underwear, Machu still makes sure to fold her clothes properly before lying down on the Red Gundam.

Nyaan just tosses her clothes to the side. lol

Machu may constantly think she's being rebellious, but she's still a good girl at heart.

Machu is an upper middle class girl who grumbles at her mother (who does everything she can for her), goes to a fancy school, just wants "freedom" from her upper middle class life, doesn't face any particular hardship, has a crush on the Bohemian art boy and latches onto other's dreams. For all of her glowering she's following the teenager script to a T, which is part of what makes her being in this situation so interesting.

Meanwhile Nyaan is the real deal. Life has made a concerted effort to tear her down. Yet she's somehow been the more genteel one just because being crushed underfoot is her life.

Love this dynamic. Especially love how I feel like it's going to explode in their faces before they come to a new equilibrium.

Also love how Nyaan totally scarred Harro. She stomped on him so much he actually ran away.

Are you confusing Nyaan with Machu? Nyaan is the refugee girl here.
