- How dare you think this time's enough/Ain't nobody but you're the one that I'm feeling it's love...
- —Till to Mizi, "Unknown (Till the End...)"
MiziTill is the het ship between Mizi and Till from the Alien Stage fandom.
Canon[]
Mizi and Till are both Alien Stage contestants, who grew up together in Anakt Garden.
ROUND 2[]
The two's prior connection is revealed in ROUND 2, as the song itself is dedicated to Mizi and the impact she left on Till's life. Till is shown quietly observing Mizi from the side during their time in Anakt Garden and falling in love with her cheerfulness and positivity that contrasted starkly his own upbringing, as he was abused by his segyein owner. Growing up, he made Mizi into a reason for himself to live.
Within the MV itself, a younger version of Mizi from Anakt Garden is shown multiple times, smiling, with her eyes closed, on a white background and overall in soft colors, to express the way Till sees her. Till is also shown drawing sketches of her and composing songs about her. A few shots from ROUND 1 are replayed of Mizi singing and smiling, as Till watches her desperately.
Mizi raises her head at the end of the song in her cell on the stage, and the two share a look, with Till grinning and sweating as he breaks his guitar, and Mizi appearing expressionless and "out of it" after the last round. She is shown looking at him with a slightly sad expression after he passes out in the final shots of the MV.
ROUND 3[]
In the flashbacks within ROUND 3, Till chases the flower crown made from Anakt Garden artificial flowers that Mizi wears in earlier videos, which leads to him encountering Mizi and a waegyein through what appears to be a glitch in the security of the Garden. Mizi, there, stands in shock, while Till slowly gets up to fight against the waegyein, likely motivated by protecting Mizi.
Later in the events of the flashbacks, Till ends up refusing to leave the Garden together with Ivan because of his conflicting loyalties, unable to be parted with Mizi.
ROUND 5[]
Alongside all other alive contestants, Till watches the round between Mizi and Luka. A shot of his shocked expression appears briefly close to the end of it, as he presumes that Mizi is about to be killed.
All-in[]
In the teaser of ROUND 6 at the end of All-in, Till is shown looking at a missing poster of Mizi, before he slams his hand against his own picture in the tournament bracket.
ROUND 6[]
Till's part of the song is once again directed at Mizi, calling out for her to be his "cure". Immediately, we see Till's condition after the events of ROUND 6: he is devastated by Mizi's disappearance, and there's not much left of his past rash and loud demeanor. In a series of flashbacks, Till is shown being forced to sing the duet song of ROUND 1 between Mizi and Sua, and refusing to. While being punished for it by his segyein owner, he stares down at a newspaper describing Mizi's disappearance, with a large picture of her as a child, that questions whether or not she is missing or dead. Upon seeing it, Till snaps and attempts to attack his owner. Later, when it fails, he hallucinates Mizi in her Anakt Garden uniform in soft pink lights as she offers him her hand.
Mizi briefly appears at the end of the round, as her and other rebels have been trying to breach the stage, likely with intent to save Till and Ivan.
F I N A L[]
While Hyuna is trying to hack into the segyein's computer, Mizi sees Luka and Till singing "Blink Gone" on the screen, and can't sit still knowing Till is going to die if she doesn't step in. Against Hyuna's warning that its too late to do anything, she sneaks past the guards to the audience. Till, who had just been reminded of Ivan's death, was on the verge of a breakdown on stage. When he notices Mizi in the crowd, he lights up and starts singing again. He walks over to her, both reaching to grab each other's hands, but it is too late as the results reveal that Till lost the round, and a segyein shoots him. Mizi cradles Till's head in her lap as he bleeds out, and a memory of their time hiding from the guards as kids appears on screen as Mizi cries. In Till's last moments, Mizi holds his face and brushes his hair out of his eyes, and Till makes a last attempt to touch her hand before succumbing to his injury and dying.
Character Questionnaires[]
Graduation Messages[]
In an in-universe panel of messages exchanged between Anakt Garden pupils before their graduation, available on VIVINOS' patreon as a free post[1], no dialogue is revealed from Mizi on Till's page, but a large redacted portion of it has a jellyfish with angry neon green eyes drawn next to it, similar to the several jellyfish in the redacted message from Mizi to Sua and partially redacted message from Mizi to Ivan, so it's likely she did leave him a message. There is also a line on Till's page from a background character, Bari, reading: "You like Mizi right?! Dude, it's sooo obvious!!"
Till's message to Mizi takes up about half of her board and has him compliment her singing, thank her for gifting him an audio recorder and express his melancholy at the soon-to-be graduation, as well as includes a lot of crossed out parts, where he compares her to an angel, admits that he treasures her gift for him and that he wrote a song about her, as well as regrets they weren't able to grow closer.
Other[]
Art Book[]
The official art book reveals how each character feels about the others.
Till feels 100% intimacy toward Mizi, the most of any character he knows. He describes Mizi as the most beautiful woman in the universe. He also claims that the day she smiled at him, his soul was reborn, implying that he fell in love with her at first sight.
Mizi has 100% intimacy with Sua, 75% intimacy with Ivan and 60% intimacy with Hyuna, but only has 30% intimacy with Till, making him be the lowest person in her intimacy chart. Her description reveals that she regards Till as an artist friend who she thinks looks cool when he is immersed in his work. She also mentions wanting to be closer to him, but that he avoids her, leading her to suspect that he dislikes her.

Fanon[]
MiziTill is a rarepair within the fandom despite Till canonically having feelings for Mizi, as fans tend to pair the two up in two other semi-canon ships, Mizi with Sua and Till with Ivan respectively. Fan content of it tends to concentrate on Till's unrequited feelings for Mizi and his yearning for someone to support him, rather than develop their relationship into a full-fledged romance. Platonic content of the two is more common, especially so in fanworks post-ROUND 6, as fans theorised about Mizi being able to save Till at some point, alongside the rebellion, and Till joining it.
After the release of FINAL, though not many, some fans have started to openly ship the pair. However, the majority of the fandom prefer the pair as platonic.
A considerable portion of the fans of this ship have also expressed that they are multishippers who also ship MiziSua and IvanTill.
