Which sort of implies that if you agree to the sex, you agree to the whole "either you are like me..." which then means that by agreeing to sex you are telling him that you are like him, that your heart roams free too. Which then sort of fits with the his: "Let other's know the happiness of being with you"-issue.

There should have been more discussion at this point too and a way to tell him "I only care for you and even though I don't want to share my heart with others, I accept that you do," or whatever. As of now, the game forces you to agree to be like him.

That's a great idea! I like your thinking there. You also point out something that may be true in many of his dialogue options: Halsin says a lot of things at once, but Tav has limited answers and has to answer to all of that at once. Maybe the conversation should have been written in smaller parts: Halsin says one thing, Tav can answer to that, then Halsin goes to the next thing.
