you already sound like you're writing a novel about them
This is PEAK!
no cause i love how you make sm sense. plus I hope they give the notebook to mugyeong so that it gives him the strength to carry on with his life. plus what else would yukio even wish for other than him being able to go on to witness a free joseon
Looking back at the first chapters, I think Mugyeong might survive. He says, “I still remember…” and “… at my youth’s edge…” Since he’s currently still at his youth’s edge, the beginning seems like a reflection of an older person.
Will it be Mugyeong dying an old man and reflecting? Or maybe just a few years ahead, living the life of a refugee with a new start? Or will he be touching or picking up a cherry blossom; elderly, sitting on a bench, wrapped in a blanket, and looking up into a Sakura tree like how he started out?
If so, it might read backwards, ending with something like: “Perhaps I’ll meet him again, in another life…” “… the boy with a picturesque face…” “… The boy I learned to love.”
