Consider.... Rasputin style song but about Alvin

Ithink it could work

I know Alvin was actively attempting Mass Dragon Extinction and Rasputin was, ya know

Not Doing That

But Alvin was a whore that wouldnt die and so i think for the song itself it could work

Goodbye, My Danish Sweetheart.

Hey I think the framing of this scene is really fucking cool and I wanna talk about it because I haven't seen anybody do that. yet so. yahooo!! let's get into it

BUT FIRST. Symbolism:

an empty chair can symbolise the absence or memory of someone dear who has passed away. This is very obviously meant to represent Hinako in this scenario

In my interpretation, this scene is Kazui saying goodbye to Hinako and apologising for the circumstances of her death.

The lyrics that play are:

"I’m sure nothing will change and we’ll laugh together and call each other stupid names, so many things I wish i hadn't known, I'm just a coward."

The first part of this verse sounds like he's wishfully thinking about what could've happened after he told her the truth - if anything a bit naively.

Kazui wanted (and still wants) to get the weight of his lies off his chest, but he wasn't ready to face the consequences of that confession, most likely making Hinako's death hit even harder.

Here, he bows to the chair before turning around leaving, a silent goodbye.

But what about what's going on in the background of this scene? Well!

As Kazui leaves, these two scenes flash in the background. On the table in the first shot is our good friend the green apple, and Background Kazui picks it up, analyses it, before biting it.

So let's go for another symbolism refresher!!

Green apples can sometimes represent platonic relationships, like friendship, but in Kazui's case this takes the form of a sin - as not loving Hinako romantically is what he's lying about - making it a reference to the Garden of Eden story.

Going from that, biting into an apple can represent feeding into temptation.

My interpretation of this scene is Pre-Marriage Kazui indulging in his 'sin', which in my opinion is the fact he's gay.

Let's go back to that lyric shall we:

"I’m sure nothing will change and we’ll laugh together and call each other stupid names, so many things I wish i hadn't known, I'm just a coward."

So many things you wish you hadn't known huh.. Not knowing you were gay would sure make lying to your wife a whole lot easier wouldn't it?

"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"

Woohoo evidence for Background Kazui being Pre-Marriage Kazui!!!

I think this scene is the last time Kazui let himself be free before marrying Hinako. This could possibly have been when he noticed she had a crush on him at their work.

He's indulging one last time. Embracing his sin instead of hiding it away one. last. time. before giving it up for good, almost like a. goodbye.

~

So. I think this scene is framed this way in order to show the parallel of Kazui giving up his sin, and Kazui mourning Hinako's death.

As established, they both have a "goodbye, I'm sorry things turned out this way" atmosphere to them. Kazui is apologetic, in a way, that he has to give up on being his true self and he is apologetic of his lies murdering Hinako, so Milgram conveys this by showing the two scenes posed the same way in front of one another.

This framing also gives the scene a Beginning Vs End feeling that I think is really cool, and the use of Dark Vs Light colours only heightens that! (Though that's slightly off topic rip)

Conclusion? I love this scene it's awesome and amazing and super cool

Day 13s prompt was what if! (I can't take my art seriously anymore, not after this)

(Spoilerish warning but too ambiguous for anything really)

Spoiler warning (for sure) for the ramble down below

I was rewatching the last part of chapter 5, specifically when the op of the playthrough was picking between destroying and staying in the mystery labyrinth to get inspiration, then I watched a play through of a completely different game, it was a "how many people can I kill and mess up with my decisions" and it clicked.

What if Yuma didn't really care about the culprits, about the death, willing to sacrifice everything for the truth, or if Yuma gained the non empathetic traits of Number One. Like I know he shouldn't go on a killing spree and be apathetic,  but he totally should.

Out of every "What if" I could have done (cough cough Chief Yakou/Makoto cough cough) I chose this, definitely disappointed (not really I just really need to know what went through my head)

I might not do tomorrow, if I do it will be a colored sketch, I have to go to one my my family members concerts, super excited. See you all tomorrow!! (Again, thanks for feeding my rain code fixation)

(Hopefully this shows in the tags)
