"I want to empathize with Hinako, but honestly, she's so stupid and just overreacted. She could just talk to Kazui, lol. to live for several years without sex and be surprised that your husband is gay. It's all her fault."
And you know what? She was trying to talk. We were literally shown this twice.
Let's not go back to fucking 2023, when it all just started, because I'm really tired of this "Hinako is evil bitch" shit. We've discussed this so many times and I can't believe it's starting over again.
We were shown twice their attempt to talk about it, to discuss it. Hinako is the first one who puts her hand on Kazui's cheek in an attempt to give him comfort and show that she is here, she is ready to listen and discuss. We were told several times in the canon that she was a loving and understanding woman who accepted Kazui. They were best friends with a good relationship, after all.
He confesses his love to the person who has been important to him all this time, and in return receives words that it is disgusting. He's drunk, in despair, and his head is in complete chaos. His emotions are in complete chaos. He scares not only her, but also himself, not giving her or himself a chance to talk properly.
Hinako literally runs after him and tries to find him to talk to. Because, again, as we've been shown in the canon itself, they care about each other and are important to each other. Hinako wants this conversation herself, but Kazui hates himself so so much, still affected by the rejection.
He's scared, he's ashamed, he walks away from this conversation, closing himself in and pushing her away from him.
We don't know how many years their marriage lasted. And we don't know what condition Hinako herself was in. People laugh at the fact that she wasn't embarrassed by the lack of sex in the relationship all this time, but she could just respect Kazui and his choice, even if he could say without details that he just didn't want it. We don't know if she knew that Kazui didn't love her the way she loved him. We can only speculate.
She didn't die because he's gay and she is an "evil homophobe." Again, she was pretty understanding, that's canon. She spent part of her life in lie, living a scenario that was never real. And in an attempt to talk, she is simply pushed away. Just as the bartender rejected Kazui, Kazui rejected Hinako. And in the end, absolutely everyone turned out to be unhappy, broken.
Kazui and Hinako are both victims who suffered from homophobia AND misogyny. And trying to figure out which of them is more evil, who is more stupid, who is more emotional and unstable does not make sense. This is a chain that entails more and more events.
Could Hinako be rational and think with her head instead of her heart? Yes, she could. It could have been Kazui too. But they are primarily people who have emotions and different reactions to events. They can both be understood, they can both be sympathized with, they are both traumatized.
If people want to hate someone in particular in this story, they can hate the bartender who literally started this chain. Not a woman who's already dead. And not a man who has lost absolutely everything because of a homophobic society.
That's all I wanted to say. Let's not go back to 2023. Thank you.
