Third Juno post but more serious this time. As someone who struggles with anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder) I find Juno speaking to me a lot.
Her respawn voice lines where she's panicking or forgetting to breathe alluded to something like a panic attack, and now after watching her cinematic, it definietely is a panic attack. Her anxiety makes her act out of panic or impulse when she kicked the rock the first time, which then leads to her becoming even more panicked when it doesn't work, (Something I find the hardest about anxiety, although there's too much I hate about anxiety to count, lets be real.)
She keeps on overthinking and panicking about things going wrong (That respawn voice when she says she's done for, before realizing she's still here, it's one of my favorites) just like I do with my anxiety
And seeing her get through it with her mother reassuring her was just..so sweet, she doesn't love her any less because of her anxiety, even when that causes her to mess up, she never gets mad and only loves her and just wants the best for her (I wish my parents were like that, or being as half as supportive with my anxiety as she did for hers)
At the end where she makes it back to the ship and her entire family/her mother claps for her, made me so happy, it's clear that they love her no matter how scared or unfamilar she might be and I just love her for that 🥺 I really hope they aren't dead in the lore, she deserves to be happy with her parents and on Earth too
