Trivia

 * Miia has always dreamed of being bridal carried but her weight and size makes it near impossible under normal circumstances. As a result she is jealous of Meroune Lorelei always being carried as such by Kimihito Kurusu.
 * Carrying someone like this should only be done if you are entirely sure they are not suffering from neck or back injuries, whether pre-existing or new. It provides little support for the neck and spine.
