Why I think Wataru is involved in the GF plot line & maybe somehow related to Nagisa (🧵)

(Content warning: not only am I delusional, I also think I'm right)
I'm playing enstars so much it's appearing in my dreams lol. I dreamt that they re-added the button to instantly take you from home screen to work screen and that they increased the character limit in office from 5 to 8
I think it was some fun that The Tempest Night was low-key Ensemble Square Meta
im basically done with the part that's related to nagisa so next time ill do the one gk one
By that I mean the stationary meaning characters (table & stone) for Nagisa who is raised locked up in a room, and the "flowing" meaning character (water) for Wataru, who is not only raised overseas but also travelled to different countries as a child to perform.
If we remove the common parts in their names, we're left with the radical for table (几) and stone (石) for Nagisa and the radical representing water (氵) for Wataru. In a sense, I think that those radicals kind of represent the way the two of them was raised (?).
I'm gonna take it slow and finish the thread when I feel like it
I'm going to try and explain my thought process for this part as well as I can, but we're working under the assumption that Wataru's child state in Sanctuary has basis in his real childhood. Most importantly that he was raised overseas before being taken in by his adopted parents.
The next subject is name. If I didn't already sound crazy, this might just do it. Without taking their last names into consideration (as it's likely their adopted/foster families' names), Wataru(渉)'s and Nagisa(凪砂)'s first names are made up of similar parts.
In summary, Wataru's and Nagisa’s hair, despite what they look like in illustrations, are considered similar enough in-universe to use the same colour as descriptions. And, hair colour being a distinctive feature of GF creates room for there to be a connection.
By using two colours I had initially thought of as separate things interchangbly, the writing position me to view them as the same thing, or at least similar enough that it's not worth clarifying the difference.
And, in Nagisa's look back story, it seems the reverse is also true. There's a scene where Hiyori's brother said "silver-haired child" in reference to Nagisa, and Hiyori understood it was about him without any confusion.
You could say that these characters didn't attend YnS at the same time as Nagisa, but that would overlook the fact that Tori, who was an exfine fan at the time, is also present.

This, to me, meant that in-universe, Wataru's hair colour can also be seen as "white".
So, I was surprised when I read High and Low, and Wataru's name was brought up instead of Nagisa's at the mention of the White Haired individuals at YnS.
As for Wataru, his hair have always been described in stories as being "silver like moonlight".
My second supporting point (?) is about hair. GF is said to have white hair as his distinguishing characteristic. GK told Nagisa that he's looking more like GF, which (unless you think he's GF's biological child) can be interpreted to mean that Nagisa shares his distinctive white hair.
With Tori starting the "let's eat together because we're family" conversation in chapter 4, I can't interpret the writer's choice of using a "family restaurant" as the chosen dining establishment rather than something else in the epilogue as anything other than foreshadowing...
So, the fact that Wataru, who doesn't eat with others (T&C applied), is the one extending the invite to Nagisa is strange enough. But if we want to write that off as the two of them just really connecting and understanding each other. We're still left with the "family" theme.
Although Wataru has been shown warming up to eating with the other fine members in more recent stories, that's not yet true of Wataru in Neverland. In fact, he turns down Tori’s invitation to have dinner at his family's home, despite Tori’s insistence that Wataru, as a member of fine, is also family
To begin with, Wataru explicitly does not eat in front of others. As an entertainer, he wants to keep the audience from seeing what goes on 'behind the scenes'. The main exception to this rule is Eichi.
The first time I thought that Wataru & Nagisa might somehow be related was while reading Neverland. After participating in JNLC together, the two went for a celebratory meal at a family restaurant.
I messed up a photo
Just to clarify the "related to Nagisa" bit, I'm not saying that they're necessarily related by blood or anything; for all we know they could both be test tube babies; just that their storylines are more intertwined than what we can see. Like, maybe they're set up to be foils or something
