Sputnik sweetheart

     Miu's story in "Sputnik sweetheart" seems to show how she is dealing with her trauma of being raped. There is a scene in the story where she is trapped in the Ferris wheel and sees herself in her apartment willingly having sex with Fernandino, who was a man she actively avoided. To me, it seems like her being trapped in the Ferris wheel is a representation of her dealing with the pain and trauma by thinking about a secure and happy time while being raped. Miu mentions earlier how she felt safe, secure, and happy when she went to the amusement park with her father, so her being in the Ferris wheel represents her thinking about those times to cope with the trauma. Miu's other self willingly having sex with Fernandino could also show her dealing with trauma by trying to her convince herself that the sex was consensual when it was not, to try to hide her shame, fear and trauma.
