MILGRAM / Kazui - half [The First Trial Music Video] 

That low-key sounds like what Juliet did for Romeo.

Woah, I read this after writing my own, but him thinking she doesnt love him anymore bc she thinks he's cheating, thus a whole lot of miscommunication, which leads him to focusing more on his "dreams" and that distance leading to her death would definitely make sense and feel a bit more like a "murder" as his continued distance and inaction to talk, in a sense, killed her

HE IS TWO FACED I'M TELLING YAHHHHHH LET'S MAKE HIM ROT IN HELL, THAT CHEATER!

God I wouldn’t vote him guilty. He needs to find happiness again and learn to communicate, not stay in prison.

Lol now he gay

yep bạn xem xong mv cat của kazui là hiểu

これ、ポニテの女性が奥さんであること前提で書いたんですが、 ドラマパート聴くと「カズイさんを人殺しと認識できる人間はほとんどいない」みたいなんですよね…。 夫に浮気された妻が自殺したって筋書きなら人殺しと見做す人が「ほとんどいない」ってことはない気がする。 単にカズイさんが浮気してたことを知る人がほとんどいないのか、実は夫婦ではないのか…

@@teniwo 最後のラスサビの幕？、その椅子しかないシーンに目を凝らすと、若干映像が流れてるんです。妻がベランダの向こうにいた所から始まるんです。カズイ妻がカズイさんの前で自殺をしようとして、それをカズイさんが止めようとしたらもう妻さんはベランダからいなくなってるって。

gay people rule

AHAHHAHAHA

this sounds more coherent than the other theory arigato hahaha

Why are u geh

Keep your fujoshi fantasies to yourself (jk I thought the same 😂)

not his s2 song literally saying cheating...

@@FissionCube I doubt he straight up means that type of cheat I feel with the context of the rest of snippet he means in general concept of the word perhaps he never cheated but each day they did not connect with each other an faked it hence the playing house verse they could have cheated each other a true feeling of family

@@senritsujumpsuit6021 I don't know.. one of the silhouettes during Es-Undercover seems to be Kazui and someone doing... something outside

@@lancehackman6304 Wasn't that him standing over his wife's dead body

@@akkoiaane I am talking about the montage that shows their silhouettes doing things in the "real world" (it starts at 2:08)

I fully agree. I thought the gay theory was very far-fetched at first, but now it's clear that "half" misled us, likely accidentally, especially since Kazui had to openly state to Es that he did not cheat on his wife. Half showed us that Kazui had a broken marriage with his wife, and that she's likely the one who died, somehow at his hands. The green apple clearly represented someone besides his wife that he loved, and that plus the bar scenes with faceless women made it pretty easy to assume he was cheating. I'm still not sure what to make of those, as my initial theory was that Kazui was an undercover cop and his wife was part of his cover story. I was thoroughly convinced that he was a police officer, which was confirmed, but uh. it didn't relate to his crime at all, outside of more symbolic pressures. Paraphrasing here, but Kazui's interrogation questions included one where he talks about his parents, mentioning that his father, like him, was a policeman, and encouraged Kazui to go down the same path. His trial 2 questions in general HEAVILY implicate him as gay. He keeps writing about how he was "born in a way that made him suffer," that lies are "a way to live without getting hurt" and that marriage is "great for social credibility." Though he was named after wishes of being a strong man after a family who he said "must be ashamed" of him and got into a sports university via recommendations after undergoing a variety of martial arts training, his idealistic masculinity was faulted by something he was "born with" and seems to simultaneously 1) wish he could embrace 2) wish he had never lived with in the first place. This along with Kazui saying that Yuno is both the prisoner most like him and the one he dislikes the most because "She shows me things I’m not too fond of seeing" is interesting. In a Minigram from a few months back, Mahiru asked Kazui what his ideal woman would be, and Yuno directly called him out on lying (without any specifics) once he described a sort of vague image of a woman. With all of this at hand, I cannot imagine a "truth" about Kazui that /isn't/ him being an older man struggling with internalized feelings of hatred towards himself for being gay. He definitely regrets his wife's death (T1 interrogation), but his T1 interrogation also shows that he can't say for sure whether or not he "loved" her. I mean this very literally. He left the question blank! Additionally, the prisoner Kazui is "paired" with is not Yuno, but Amane. I think this relates to the two being the oldest and youngest prisoners who "break tradition" in complex ways and still hold the values of those traditions close to their philosophies after the deaths associated with their trials. With any other theories in circulation about Kazui, I can't see how Kazui being born in a way that he dislikes and being raised in a very masculine fashion relate to them at all, especially not to the extent that they would to him being gay. Comparing the voice dramas, songs, and interrogations, Kazui seems to still dislike himself, but is slowly starting to grapple with his desires and come to an understanding of what he wants. His response to T2's "What does love mean to you?" question was translated by Milgram Eng as "To stay true as myself, and to be accepted as me." Hopefully, this is what we get from him in the end.

その考え好きです。 故意的に私たちに同情させようとしてるのかもしれないですね。

ないと信じたい…

ボイスドラマでカズイさんは｢後悔はしているが、反省のしようがない｣と言っていたので微妙なラインですね

@@user-bn6of2pr2c あれか、「やったことに対して後悔はしているけど、改めるつもりは、(やったことが悪い事だと思って)ない」ってことなんだろうな。

ワイ氏てっきり「償うべき相手はもうこの世にいない」「親達は自分に対して「もう関わんな」って態度でいる」意味での「反省しようがない」で捉えてたのでなるほー？となった

Definitely definitely. Awesome analysis. Although, something that's tripping me up about the No Adultery theories is that... it kind of makes Kazui seem too innocent? In that very meta sense. I know not all the crimes of Milgram are equal, but he seems so fully uninvolved and disconnected from the death of his wife that there doesn't seem to be much to blame him for... Like, is the fact he didn't communicate with his wife enough of an argument to vote him guilty/un-forgiven? I ultimately agree that the cheating isn't as significant as we're probably being lead to believe with that apple - but in the back of my mind I'm doubting that Kazui is as innocent as that would paint him out to be? If you didn't cheat, what the hell did you do old man??? Anyway, all the murders in Milgram have been fairly controversial in at least some aspects, so it's likely this is just a biproduct of not having the full picture. I guess a big part of this first round is making your own conclusions and sometimes getting it wrong.

@@tankey8121 I'm... not quite sure if I would call Kazui entirely innocent. Cheating and what he did essentially achieved the same goal-- making his wife feel so worthless and constantly questioning if she was good enough. She most likely did still love him despite the job, which is why she reaches out to him at 2:24. Which means that her conflict was most likely directed internally, hence the suicidal outcome. And, after all, if his "murder" was enough to get him into Milgram, it most likely was his fault. Most people in Milgram don't even see their murders as their fault; thinking it's justified-- Kazui's really the only one that displays regret, so that's why he's portrayed as more "innocent" than the others in regards to his crime. The only difference between what he did and cheating is that he remained loyal to his wife still, even if she didn't feel like it. But he never once considered her feelings, because she always put a smile on her face for him because he was happy (with where they were, with where he was, etc.). At the end of the day, it's up to you to decide whether or not that makes him forgivable or not. I'm personally voting him forgivable because I believe it wasn't his fault and was just an unfortunate set of circumstances, but it's still important to consider how his wife felt before she jumped. DECO*27 is one crafty bastard with this one-- it's one that, unlike the others, seems so straightforward (haha "straight"forward get it because most of his pre-MV theories were about him being gay) yet there are so many things that seem so out of place if you take the straightforward path. If there were someone else in Milgram I would compare Kazui to, it would be Shidou-- while a lot of people compare him to Mahiru (because relationship that ended in suicide), Shidou and Kazui share one common thing-- that they "think" they deserve the unforgivable verdict (Shidou's probably faking it though). Kazui does this subconsciously-- he does the same thing his wife did: putting on a strong face "because he's an adult," when inside he feels so guilty that he thinks he was adulterous, which is what is displayed to us through his mindset in this music video.

​@@altair2249 That's a really good point - I never even realised how he's one of the only ones to be regretful right from the get go. I wonder how amane's murder is going to be portrayed, keeping that in mind... Agree with crafty bastardness of this one lol. I kind of got that vibe from Mu's video as well. A victim of bullying no doubt, but a lot of her voice lines make her seem... kinda manipulative(?)... and there were certain aspects of the video that made the reasons for the murder confusing (Especially the scene at the end, where she's standing in the classroom. Literally no clue). I'm holding out for round 2 to make any proper judgements on her, but I really like how morally grey she is. About shidou - I have a feeling he does think he's unforgivable, but for the wrong reasons. He likely wants the death penalty because he couldn't save his loved one, essentially feeling guilty for her death and wanting to die for it... not because he harvested countless organs from his other patients. Ethics is a delusion indeed. Your psycho-analysis of these characters is next level lol. I tend to forget that we're essentially getting a window into their mind with these mvs

Oh also on the Spotify profile pictures other than Es he’s the only one looking straight at the ‘camera’

@@platsew912 wait what

this is my favorite theory

this is actually a very nice theory. im glad people remember everyone in milgram is meant to be an unreliable sometimes cryptic narrator

I felt sadder for Kazui while reading this T_T In his interview tho, Kazui mentions that he wishes that "he should have just piled up his lies", so he likely confronted his wife at one point and got honest with her- which was likely the trigger for her death- so it's probably the latter where he did talk to her and she took it badly :( He also mentions that he's not sure if he wanted to be forgiven, but he does want his weakness to be accepted... so his wife probably didn't 'accept him'?

No this wasnt supposed to be ignored , thanks for sharing

I like how detailed it is compared to other theories and the thing is this makes sense, nice theory!

Ooo that makes more sense! Clever

idt defining it as 'attention' would be the way to go but i see ur point

Kazui and mahiru aren't paired up , so they don't really have an official pairing The general idea is shidou and mahiru are devotion, sacrifice , or love And kazui and amane are faith or promise

@@LanieMaeIt could also be because of a time limit reason. For example, if the songs had to get 1M views before the second trial started.

I think the apple might be alluding to the story of Adam and Eve? Like the forbidden fruit that Eve eats

The saying is "take it with a grain of salt" so you were basically right! It's like saying "take my words lightly" or with caution perhaps, because you don't have all the answers. None of us do. I do appreciate your theory very much though!

HE CHEATED, HE DESERVES DEATH PENALTY FOR BEING A TWO FACED AND CHEATING!

@@teoxonkrisnane.2066 We don't know any of that for sure lmao. And to say people who cheat deserve the death penalty is a little extreme, don't you think?

i 100% support this and if i may bring in some of my own dumb theories i made at 3 am (it is 3 am and i am overthinking rn) i think the apple represents the temptation to cheat, and we never see him actually bite it, except in the background of the blurry screen, but i dont think the burry screen is reality: i think, rather, it resembles what he wants to do, or dreams of doing. he definitely fell out of any love he might've convinced himself he had with his wife. i really like kazui, and think he's the most interesting character of the lot! i think the theatre represents the masks he has to put on with his wife to get her to believe he loves her, getting more and more detailed as it goes on, because he has to try harder and harder to get her to believe he truly loves her. but eventually he's just in his normal, worn outfit, as he gives up, revealing his true feelings, and his wife probably k/lls herself. he genuinely looks absolutely desolate/guilty about this, and seems to feel extremely sad at the prospect of what he's brought upon his wife: he regrets what he's done. i think he deserves to be forgiven! im sorry you wrote this 10 months ago you probably dont care about milgram anymore

職業じゃなくて、心象風景としての表現かな～って思いました、けど何らか思い入れはありそうですよね、みるのが趣味だったとか、学生時代やってたとか

参考にどうぞ♪ 青りんご（青リンゴ）とは、りんごを未熟なまだ青い状態で収穫したもの。 もしくは、熟しても青や緑のまま赤くならないりんごの品種。有名なのは王林など。

3:12 あたりで青リンゴを齧る口元が映ってるので、もしかしたら誘惑に負けてる可能性もありますね…多分 心の浮気はしてそうな感じはします 「ずっと前に諦めたこと 今になってなんで声をあげるの」 って歌詞から茶髪の方が過去に好きだったけど諦めた女性だったようにも見えます… 個人的な解釈でした🙇‍♀️

ミルグラムの皆は誰かを殺してるはずだから多分奥さんはいなくなったというより自殺しちゃったのかなと思う

If you pause that scene very briefly you can see a shot of Kazui tearing up/crying before he blinks and stares at the apple.

考察(雑魚)としてはもしかしたらカズイと奥さんは政略結婚で、カズイ自身は奥さんを愛していたものの伝えられず浮気(またはそう勘違いされるような類い)に逃げていて、それが奥さんを死に追い詰める理由になってしまったのかなと……

im glad im not the only one to call him a dilf

I actually don't think he cheated on his wife? He obviously fell for the woman at the bar, but every time he describes it as something that can't happen. However we also see in every shot that his marriage seems to be falling apart, however he probs mistook his wife's growing depression for her falling out of love with him. I'm thinking he just broke up with her in the last scene we see his wife so he can be with the woman at the bar, which then caused his wife to kill herself.

@@Bowserboy129 it's like the line he says I imagined that saying see you was the same as its over. And he kept talking about the distance between their relationship we also see the apple in the theater far away from him.

@Kedar Prather and the shadow figure at the end of the theater seat (1.04). i believe tht probally her wife soul after she die and watching him. Probally that explained why the apple is beside him. The apple symbolize her wife soul and also the reason why he was shocked at 2.15 . well...i think..

Yeah, I think you're right

Also from what I've seen everyone but futa has gotten voted innocent

3:29 ここで写っているのが色合いと形的に赤りんご (置物？)で壊れている。 青リンゴが結婚してない女性 赤りんごが奥さん 隣にいたはずの青リンゴがステージに上がってスポットライトを浴びてる→役者で成功した (それか離れていってしまったとゆう比喩か…) 以上がリンゴで女性を例えているのではとゆう考察です…！

一応青リンゴはこういうものです。 青りんご（青リンゴ）とは、りんごを未熟なまだ青い状態で収穫したもの。 もしくは、熟しても青や緑のまま赤くならないりんごの品種。有名なのは王林など。

最後は赤いリンゴ割れているから奥さん？はやっぱり死んだのかな？

ohhh that's a very interesting take

Just a thought, but could we perhaps further this interpretation and view Kazui’s wife as Lady Macbeth? In the play, the murder of the king drives an emotional rift between the couple. Macbeth turns away from his wife and instead towards the battlefield in hopes that gaining power would help overcome his guilt and insecurities. Meanwhile, Lady Macbeth is left alone to suffer from mental instability and paranoia- resulting in her suicide. In Kazui’s case, the murder of the king is instead him committing adultery. In guilt, we see him distance himself from his wife- instead continuing pursuit of the affair in hopes that it will fill the insecurities he has in their marriage. As for the wife, some have theorized that Kazui felt distanced from her due to her worsening mental illness, but that is speculation for now. Regardless, it seems clear that it was Kazui’s actions that led to her suicide.

Note there’s no mention of a dagger in the original Japanese lyrics, the translator just chose an English expression with a similar meaning

HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY 1 THAT GOT REMINDED OF MACBETH 💀

This comment details topics of suicide, depression, and acts of violence. The MV heavily implies Kazui’s wife committed suicide, shown by a shot of her standing behind the apartment balcony railings, subsequently disappearing after indicating that she jumped. Kazui’s infidelity is assumed to be the catalyst for the wife to take her own life. Now that cheating is out of the equation, why did the wife commit suicide, and what was Kazui’s role in her death? When asked about his crime, Kazui says “I won’t deny it. I even regret it. I haven’t thought things over, though.” It’s also important to note that for Kazui’s crime scene in “Undercover,” he is shown reacting to his murder, holding the body and screaming out. The other prisoners are shown committing an action that lead to their victim’s murder (ex: strangling or hitting). Kazui’s involvement in the murder was not a direct action that caused his wife to die, but an indirect decision he made that resulted in this outcome. That decision is acknowledging his wife’s plan to kill herself, therefore being somewhat complicit in her death. Before I get into my theory, I don’t mean that Kazui willingly wanted to drive his wife to suicide. Based on his reaction afterward, Kazui deeply regrets not taking action. Kazui is an indecisive person, so his internal conflict is deciding whether he should reach out and expressing his true feelings, or hold back and keep things to himself. He ultimately didn’t step in or take action. Milgram defines murder very loosely, as shown by Yuno, Futa, and Mahiru’s case. I will only be discussing the situation surrounding Kazui’s relationship and what prevented him from speaking out. The setting of the MV is a theatre, where Kazui is in the audience watching himself onstage re-enact moments throughout his life to see where he went wrong with his marriage. This is fitting to his character, because Kazui is very observant and analytical, however he’s indecisive, which hinders his ability to confront the problems head on or go through with his ideas. He speculates that his wife had internal problems or depression, but never acted or confronted her about it. For a majority of the MV, he doesn’t talk directly to his wife. He’s more theorizing and speculating in his own mind. “If I were to make sure and suffer, I would rather be by your side.” Kazui speculates that his wife might be struggling internally. If Kazui were to “make sure” that his assumptions were correct, he would also be willing to “suffer” along with his wife and “would rather be by your (his wife’s) side” instead of having her deal with her problems alone. “Laughing together, side by side. This distance is misleading me. Is this what happiness is?” This follows the previous line where Kazui establishes his wife may be struggling internally. Even when Kazui and his wife seem to be having a good time “laughing together, side by side,” there is still distance in their relationship. Despite the happy times, the distance is enough to mislead to Kazui, and he starts to assume something might be wrong. He starts to question if the distance in his relationship is suppose to be a good thing, or something he should be happy about. If the distance was caused by something he did, Kazui is trying to observe and figure it out himself internally. “Where did I go wrong? Probably from the beginning.” This line is accompanied by Kazui in the audience seat, watching himself onstage. He wonders where he went wrong in the marriage, placing the blame entirely toward himself. Kazui is left to reflect on where things went wrong in the marriage by himself, specifically observing his own actions, as he believes the fault is his own. “I imagined that you saying ‘See you’ is the same as ‘It’s over.’” Whenever Kazui’s wife departs, Kazui thinks that this is a sign from the wife that their relationship isn’t working out. “See you” and “It’s over” to him are correlated and mean the same thing, however “imagined” is the key word here. Kazui is making drastic assumptions based on so little. He “imagined” that his wife is giving signals to break off their relationship, but his wife never directly states it. What leads Kazui to this conclusion is the distance and lack of communication in his relationship, leaving him to ponder about things by himself. “If continuing to hide is called unhappiness. Not even one word will get to you.” During this line, Kazui and his wife are off stage. Kazui’s wife speaks to him, while affectionately touching him, and Kazui grabs her hand and smiles sadly. Although he is grinning, his smile is devoid of happiness. His brows are furrowed and give off a disheartened expression. Shortly after, the spotlight shines on Kazui on stage with the apartment backdrop. His head is down and his dejected smile quickly turns into a wide eyed expression, raising his head as though he has realized something. This is the only time Kazui and his wife communicate. At this moment, his wife confides in him, alluding to Kazui that she’s suffering. However, Kazui only responds with a dejected smile, not pushing for more information. The wife could’ve been hinting at her plan to take her own life. Kazui, being analytical and speculating that his wife may be struggling for a while now, acknowledged this. Although he doesn’t know the reasons why the wife would make this decision, he feels like he can’t talk her out of it, and “not even one (of his) word(s) will get to you (the wife)”so he doesn’t interfere with her plan. Kazui feels like it’s “not possible” for the wife to have a change of heart on the matter (only if your heart would change but that’s not possible). Since he doesn’t believe it’s possible for his wife to change her mind, he accepts her plan and upcoming death at the spur of the moment. Kazui accepts this not out of malice or resentment toward his wife, but due to his hopeless mindset and inability to speak his true thoughts and feelings. A flash of realization comes over him. Kazui’s indecisiveness strikes him as he’s onstage with the apartment backdrop behind him. He knows about his wife’s plan to commit, and begins to regret his previous approval. With the apartment setting onstage, his moment of realization could’ve happened right before the wife followed through with her plan. However his efforts were futile, as his wife turns her back and jumps from the balcony, Kazui behind her watching, unable to do anything. “Please tell me what I should do, feelings shrouded in lies will float away and disappear.” The chair appears onstage alongside Kazui as he performs the chorus. The chair is clearly shot by itself during the lyrics “Please tell me what I should do, feelings shrouded in lies will float away and disappear.” A single empty chair can indicate a human presence, or lack of. Chairs can also represent authority and a symbol of power. At 3:00 Kazui turns and kneels in front of the chair and asks what he should do. In this instance, Kazui appeals to the chair’s authority, seen as how he asks what course of action he should take. Remember that Kazui is painfully indecisive, and as he is wondering to himself what went wrong with his marriage, the chair is used as a stand in for a person, as someone would usually ask someone for advice. No one is there though, and it’s up to Kazui himself to either go through with his plans or ideas, or continue to keep to himself. At 3:09 he stands up and walks away from the chair, abandoning the idea to make a decision. Green apple I believe the green apple is meant to symbolize knowledge, specifically knowledge about problems in the relationship and about the wife’s struggles. Although he’s ultimately trying to figure out the problems, his hesitance to know the full truth and act upon learning this information. “So many things that I should now have known. I’m just a coward.” During this line, the wife’s suicide scene appears (she disappears off the balcony indicating she jumped). After biting the apple, Kazui now knows for sure about the wife’s struggles. After the wife’s death, Kazui exclaims that he “should now have known” about the wife’s internal problems. Now that Kazui is aware of the “many things” that lead up to the wife’s choice to take her own life, he berates himself for not taking any action and failing to figure what he did wrong. In hindsight, he felt like he should’ve known about the problems before the wife took her life. TDLR; Kazui looks for reasons for the distance in his relationship. He also suspects his wife might be struggling mentally. Not telling him the reasons why, his wife informs Kazui about her plan to commit, and in the moment he accepts her death, believing he cannot change her mind. However he regrets his approval, and tries to stop her but is ultimately too late. I wrote this before Kazui’s VD was translated- so I might add stuff to this afterwards! anyway if you made it this far thank you sm for reading all of this- this was my 1st time analyzing a milgram MV and ngl it was really difficult LMAO. this was just my interpretation of how the death played out. thank u ^^

​@@oceanjuicer7654 I'm a big fan of the Kazui not cheating on his wife theories because it's ignoring the elephant in the room and trying to take a closer look. One thing I'm kind of confused on though is this part "his wife informs Kazui about her plan to commit, and in the moment he accepts her death" I'm kind of unsure about that, I'm confused as to why he wouldn't do anything about it right after hearing it if he was concerned about her mental health prior, even being indecisive, anyone would naturally try to pull someone away from that plan. I feel like it would be more accurate to his wife hinting something is wrong, and he begins to fear the worst. E.g. his wife saying "remember that I love you.." Her saying this at an odd timing could be her hinting towards her suicide. I just don't find it very likely she told him upfront and he just accepts it.

I love this theory, I didn't believe that he cheated on his wife but I was confused how him being indecisive played a part in making his wife commit suicide since some people were talking about his wife disapproving his job or something.

i rlly agree with this theory i strongly believe he didn’t cheat, ty for writing such an amazing theory

DO IT FOR THE DILF !!!

We’re almost at 1 million!! 🥺🍏

YOU SIMPS! IF YOU VOTED INNOCCENT FOR THIS GUY! YOU ARE A FOOL!

We did it!!!

WE DID IT LETS GOOO

someone mentioned this in the jp message but the bar tender has a ring on his finger. "Only if your heart would change but that's not possible. "

I just listened to it again, but... isn't he singing about himself? Only if your heart would change but that's not possible." - since he's gay. And the green apple (homosexual thoughts) that keep coming back. The curse of reuniting with you puts a dagger in my heart -> The thoughts that have now come back same here: What I gave up a long time ago Why is it questioning me now? So many things that I should now have known, I'm just a coward

i wonder if this song would take place after he confessed his love to whoever that other person was? They were friends before, now their relationship grows distant with him being honest about his feelings. It makes sense, doesn't it?

I kind of think he "loved" his wife in the way you would love a close friend or something like that, so it's more just extreme guilt and sadness that he couldn't love her romantically and ended up using her to cover up.

Especially "Wish your heart could change but that is impossible". Why would his wife have to change her heart? And he didn't seem that interested in the woman, even when she leaned against him. So yeah, agreed

@@Naynin Right ??? And more specifically, why wouldn't it be possible ? people's feelings can change... but not the gender they are attracted to "The curse of reuninting with you put a dagger in my heart" meeting your childhood friend again and dying inside belike Or "If I were to make sure and suffer I'd rather be by your side" aka I don't dare to confess because I'm gay and you'll think it's weird and creepy so I'll stay your closeted childhood friend forever so I won't lose you One of his costume looking like a sailor one (the captain of the boat specifically methinks) and his childhood friend has a boat (cf.T1 interrogation) **Edit because someone told me it was a japanese cop outfit. But now I can't unsee the sailor outfit** "I could try you and try to touch you but you probably won't notice" "I understand this love is out of bounds so nothing has to change" his flirt would go unnoticed because it'll just look like an old friend joking around with you and... "This love is out of bounds" whaaaat "All these memories and you, if only I could erase them all" Childhood friend crush hurting you since years hellooo "I"m sure nothing will change, we'll laugh together and call each other stupid names" very childhood friend relationship behavior coded "What I gave up a long time ago... Why is it questioning me now ?" WHAAAAT THAT'S SO CLOSETED-GAY CODED. Sorry it's eating my brain right now I can't believe nobody noticed before

@@nocturne_interlude AAAAH so many lines that can be interpreted in that way. Gorgeous! 😭 Love the stuff truly 😌 I really believe it's symbolism for homosexuality. Especially since in his voicedrama he specifically says he didn't cheat on his wife.

@@Naynin And add it's trying to stop lying who killed her and the "So I've tried to change [...] To stop lying to myself and others! I confided in others! I've tried to be myself, to be just the way I was born !" And that whole part, like... There is no heterosexual explanation for that part when he breaks down

IN THE TRIAL QUESTIONS HE BROUGHT UP HIS CHILDHOOD FRIEND AND APOLOGIZED FOR GETTING TOO PERSONAL. OMG YALL ARE GENIUSES

@@natchann6558 Remember how the MLP was pretty big back in the day? Well I have a cousin who was really into it back in the day and so I watched a episode like everyday since I babysat him and I really liked deviant art and I was like.. hmm what happens when I searched my little pony.. porn. vore. and nightmare-inducing shit. I don't think I deserved to see that.. I was only an unassuming teenager, why did i see that. Then a few years later, a friend tricked me into searching up vore and wow, why did i deserve to see that?
