"Mizu does not have the capacity for kindness at first," Green told . 𝓡"It is a very hard lesson for her to learn. We were careful balancing stories in the first half of the season and the sec💯ond half of the season, that all of her moments of mercy, kindness, or just acceptance of other people end up having a negative consequence for her. And then, towards the end of the season, the lesson comes in that maybe being vulnerable is okay and pays its own dividends."
