Not to over run a Kumiko thread with my Nozomi affections I just want to ask you all, what do you think happened at the end of Liz and the Blue Bird? personally I think Nozomi turned to say "I love you too" since Mizore had an expression of slight surprise at first when Nozomi turns around but in the last few frames her jaw drops open in shock as if she wasn't expecting something from Nozomi like that.
especially after the subtext of Nozomi asking that Mizore wait for her flute when they talk on the staircase I think she had a deeper meaning of how she wasn't sure of her feelings and was asking Mizore to hold fast until she was sure of them herself and in the moments following with the simultaneous "lets do our best on stage" Nozomi realized she is doing her best to back up Mizore not because she wants to do well together but because she loves her too and so she confesses.
