You're afraid to be corny, but I was born on the cob

I'm seeing people taking this scene as Till "choosing Mizi" over Ivan, symbolically, but frankly, they need to stop looking at it through a lens of shipping, and Till "choosing" someone.

Till has always idolized Mizi. During hardships, she was his beacon of light; she is, quite literally, a savior figure.

Vivinos describes Till's relationship with Ivan as love and hatred; difficult, complicated, messy. And he's being continuously reminded of the trauma of Ivan's death while it's still fresh on his mind. So, when he sees Mizi, he's of course going to be excited and reach out to her; she's someone he views as perfect. His comfort. And he, in this moment, is so, so hurt.

And we see what the narrative does in response to his attempted escapism.
