#seitoku

the entire song feels so safe and gentle.. and the mv being rin just going about his day and moving around a static background is so fitting. he looks like hes adrift in the sea since the viewers perspective is in the fish tank. his life before meeting michitaka was long but this is the first time hes ever felt real connection - its the first time hes felt loved and now he doesnt want to let go. the song feels so sweet but theres so many references to time (the title being pocket watch, likely referencing michitakas wristwatch?) like the "ticking" and even the mentions of heartbeats placing emphasis on rins mortality and old age.. and of course the references to the fact that rin literally keeps his heart in a jar as his greatest "treasure" too.

all the lines about rin "falling asleep happy" also make me think that he feels as though he can finally die happy and fulfilled as long as he remains with michitaka till the end (which we also know from the drama episodes. so less i think more we know lol)

i really like how rin seems uncertain of most things (such as his future, whats going to happen to him, how to navigate a lot of the world and do things himself even down to not knowing where to buy tofu) but the one thing he seems certain of is this. that he wants to stay with michitaka and hold onto this warmth. michirin are ruining my life

im just gonna dump some more lyrics i like now i think..

i like the references to unfiltered light here and how the mv ends with rin walking towards a light that was turned on (likely by michitaka) a lot. rin was previously very lonely, and hes constantly associated with the ocean. i get this image of filtered light on the seabed in contrast to being bathed in sunlight on land. i think that he never truly built any connections before (light never fully reaching him) because he was a figure of worship to people, not his own individual. now michitaka simply loves and sees rin for being rin.

a spinning rin for your time if you read all this nothingburger! ^^
