#theres also probably some lyrics i missed because im rlly bad at lyric vague-ness

I saw some people say that the gay Kazui theory is "an insane reach" because there's no hints to it in Half so I went to do some digging and made a compilation of lyrics that I do think hint to the theory

"Please tell me what I should do, feelings shrouded in lies will float away and disappear" is one that might not seem obvious based on Half alone, but the context of Cat helps alot.

Shrouded means 'a thing that envelops or obscures something'. What Kazui is saying in this lyric is that 'the feelings he's hidden will go away'. We know that Kazui lied "for the sake of true love" from Cat so we can assume that the 'thing' obscuring his hidden feeling is his marriage.

Now, holding that thought, here's a piece of queer history. A "lavender marriage" is when a m/w couple get married under the sake of convenience to conceal the sexuality of one or both partners. Now this was done with the consent and knowledge of both partners, but sounds familiar doesn't it? Getting married to hide true feelings. Feelings being shrouded by lies if you will.

There's also this lyric which I find very interesting because the distance in their relationship is caused by Kazui's sin, further proved in a scene that shows right after this. Kazui got married because he thought it would make his true feelings on love dissappear, and when it instead does the opposite and just make his sin more obvious he gets confused and starts to doubt if this is actually "true love" or as he says, happiness. Obviously we know that straight romance isn't the only one to exist, and isn't the "true" or "peak" romance but Kazui is the oldest prisoner in Milgram, so he most likely grew up surrounded by the view that gay marriage is wrong, hence why he doesn't view it as "true love"

this is the distance scene btw, we can see that the green apple (Kazui's sin) is litteraly putting a wedge in his relationship by being in between he and Hinako
