For a nonzero common mass,This agrees with supersymmetric mass degeneracy in an unbroken chiral superfield multiplet. The two real scalar modes have the same mass as the two physical polarizations of the massive fermion, as the rest-frame multiplet construction predicts.
At both masses vanish; the numerical ratio is and is undefined, but the equality of masses still expresses the unbroken supersymmetry. Equal zero masses in the exceptional flat, pure-linear breaking model do not prove unbroken supersymmetry: there the nonzero auxiliary expectation and positive energy in part (c) are the decisive tests.
