Don’t want to be just my parents’ second playthrough…
Always found it fascinating how much Nagisa and that one guy (Yuuji) had in common with regards to their home life and feeling pressured by their parents. Nagisa deeply resents being forced into a role and image that his mother wants him to fit. Meanwhile, Yuuji feels trapped by the influence of his father, and struggles under the large degree of freedom and lack of direction provided to him. Hiromi deprives her child; Yuuji’s father spoils his kid too much. Neither child wants to be their parent’s “second playthrough” in life.
Some part of me hopes that, even outside of canon, these two could eventually realize this and maybe help each other to heal.
