HET TWIN. I wanted to ask you a question that's a bit... unbearable to think about. Regarding Nagito's CD drama, do you think Hajime rejected him in any way? I was rewatching it and, well, I saw some people commenting on things like that, and I'd really like to know your point of view.

Well, for one I believe people are just making jokes in comment section. Or more like repeating the same joke.

But more so, with the context of the conversation:

1- Komaeda's part isn't a literal love confession. He is confessing his feelings, and there is romantic undertone however it's not a typical love confession scene where you'd expect other person to acknowledge the love and respond to that love by whether they feel similarly. In this conversation Hinata is trying to understand Komaeda and Komaeda is trying to make Hinata understand him.

2- What Komaeda is saying more like "I adore you. I will do anything to assist you. I have been alone all my life and you are the first person to truly attempt to understand me even after knowing what kind of person I am."

3- Hinata IS acknowledging that, the point of the conversation isn't about Komaeda's love (whether it's platonic or romantic), it's about trying to understand Komaeda's character. And Hinata is replying accordingly to it. He's saying that his attempts to understand him isn't motivated by simple reasons like love or hate (unlike him, perhaps), but there's a logic behind it. Which he feels like Komaeda should be given the chance to at least have someone try to understand him, instead of leaving him as he is. Because leaving him alone and not acknowledging him is bound to result in something bad.

In conclusion, this part of the Drama CD as well as FTEs more about Komaeda's character than his love so of course the conversation is focused on that. More so Hinata does acknowledge Komaeda's feelings but the conversation isn't about romance so he neither accepts or rejects him.

Bonus: I knew it before but while I writing this I noticed it better that Hinata is really emotionally mature for his age. He puts his feelings aside (although they blend in whenever he interacts with Komaeda because of course he can't go with this matter with 100 percent logic) to understand him. Because anything Komaeda does isn't just "Komaeda being Komaeda" but actually have some more complex reasons. He knows that if you left him alone without acknowledging the big issue he's bound to make more choices that can lead disaster. For him, for others. Isn't it crazy not even Komaeda's teacher was able to see it? Yet alone any other classmates of his! I will definitely talk about this in a further analysis BECAUSE he does that in UTDP and in game too (aside from the FTEs)
