NOTE: This is not an official translation. My friend shared it with me and translated it themselves. They're fluent in Japanese so they have a much better understanding of the nuances of the original wording than a machine translation would.
There were two words in particular that were difficult to translate directly into English because they carry more nuance in Japanese.
The word "lovely" in Qmeng's passage. The Japanese word is 可憐, which conveys a delicate kind of beauty that is both cute and beautiful, and makes you want to protect Sua.
Then we have 執着 in Vivinos' passage, which can be translated as either "obsession" or "attachment." However, given that Vivinos is specifically discussing Sua's psychological flaws and the unhealthy aspects underlying her devotion, "obsession" fits the context. Also, "the other person" clearly refers to Mizi but according to the translator, Mizi's name is not actually mentioned in the Japanese text. Also, the sentence "lose" is more active and interpretive in Japanese. As in the phrase itself carries a sense of urgency and desperation in not wanting Mizi to slip / drift away.
QMENG:
"My first impression of Sua is that she is a lovely, simple female idol with a somehow nostalgic air. But the more I delve into her character, the more I discover how multilayered and deep she really is and I feel that's what makes her so appealing.
She can be strong in certain ways, yet at the same time, she is very timid. I especially like how, precisely because she has such a complex inner world, her iconic and archetypal image feels all the more ironic. Although she usually comes across like an "Ice princess", in reality, she is more tender-hearted than anyone else and overflowing with love. I think that is also one of the most poignant and heartbreaking aspects of Sua."

VIVINOS:
"Because Sua can come across as cold and indifferent at first glance, she is often misunderstood. In reality, however, she is more devoted than anyone else. She is the kind of person who would gladly give everything she has for someone she truly cares about.
At the same time, that devotion is by no means purely beautiful. Beneath it lie an inner emptiness, insecurity, and an obsession with not wanting to lose the other person.
I think it is the way these complex, multifaceted qualities overlap that makes Sua such a layered and three-dimensional character."
