it's kinda frustrating imo that mizuki's arc would just be wrapped up in one event. like if they needed to do it before the next colorful live then ig it would be okay but I just cannot wrap my head around that Mizuki will suddenly recover from this in just the span of one singular event. I know the mizuena storyline pretty much started with early mizuki focuses but I would at least want her to have some time to breathe. And also i think it would be pretty cool to see how Kanade would handle it since she's the one who's supposed to save people with her music and I think it would also be extremely relavent to see kanamafu's contribution to Mizuki's story. idk i'm bad at explaining stuff but I'd genuinely be very surprised if clpl manages to sort out the situation Mizuki is having in just 8 chapters.

I'm also not the best with words or explaining myself either, so I understand Anon. Don't worry about it. I empathize with feelings of frustration about how plotlines are going too. Unfortunately I'm a WxS fan LMFAO.

I wouldn't say Mizuki's arc in it's entirety would be "wrapped up" tbqh but I think the Mizuki+Ena secret portion of it would be pretty much resolved. Which is what is bothering Mizuki right now specifically, so I think having Mizuki back to relative normal after a direct confrontation with Ena isn't actually all that farfetch'd.
As for Mizuki's arc going forward, think of it like how Mafuyu's story didn't just end after she directly confronted her mother. There are still things that the game can tackle in the future. Mafuyu5 is one of my favorite events in the game and it shows there is still plenty they can do with her story with how reconnecting with her father has given her a greater security in the future. The same would apply for Mizuki.
There is a lot they can do with Mizuki, since the question of coming out to Kanade and Mafuyu is most likely not being answered yet either. THAT would be too much resolution in one event and it would take away from Ena, I think. Mizuki6 could do that in the distant future (probably after Kana5/Mfy6 handle some other stuff), and maybe it could introduce a new plotline neither of us could have even considered, too. We don't know, really.
It could be really interesting to see Kanade have something after-the-fact like you wrote down because it'd be thought-provoking for her. I could see something similar to this happening if that's the direction they want to take the story. Personally, I'm leaning onto something more related to her own future or her father though as a direct continuation of Kanade4, but your idea is still good. I like that.
