i like your analysis! how do you think jinwoo is going to deal with the guilt he's feeling?
Lack of sleep, probably more nightmares and trying too hard to help other people/throwing himself into work. :(
I imagine he'll be under a lot of stress now, since the others realize he's capable of convincing Guwon of things they'll attempt to constantly use that to get what they want. It'll increase his anxiety a lot until he reaches a breaking point.
yeah, i can totally see that happening. poor jinwoo
he's got so much to sort out, and on top of that, the massive responsibility they've put on him of being the only one guwon listens to.
and he was scared... not sure he could change guwon's mind. him standing his ground is what saved him, but he had no confirmation it would work. like, who is this man? what's he going to do to me?
i'm glad he was brave, 'cause i don't trust this town to look out for each other if it means contradicting guwon.
You're right, it was a pretty important moment to show us what kind of character Jinwoo is too.
The other towns people willingly let others die to keep themselves safe, but Jinwoo was willing to face trial and die in a brutal way just for the mere possibility of helping a sick child he met only recently :(
You guys are letting your affection for Guwon cloud your judgement lol. (Relatable)
I agree with Jinwoo that the medicine rules are unreasonable. Restricting medicine use itself makes sense, it should be reserved for emergencies. The issue is, that regular town people aren't allowed to use any AT ALL even if a life is at risk. Valuing the lives of the hounds over everyone else is nonsensical.
Yes, they go out and do dangerous stuff by retrieving supplies. But everyone contributes important work, that's why they're allowed to stay there. And quite frankly, it's much harder to find a replacement for a DOCTOR or something equivalent than it is to find another person to do physical labor.
This chapter also made it obvious to me that Guwon had probably been questioning himself for a while. Feeling isolated and not knowing if he was actually doing the right thing. He craved an equal and someone to actually talk to. And Jinwoo is the only person he's managed to connect with. But, their relationship has changed because Guwon isn't the person teach thought he was. And Guwon doesn't realize anything is different.
He's gonna try to have sex with teach next chapter and get rejected, and teach is gonna keep avoiding him. I predict a mild crash out from Guwon, perhaps some obsessive tendencies.
