Pondering

Definitely think he killed his dad since usually in these scenarios you look to blame others when you can’t handle the weight of such traumatic events/memories (thus the surpression). “Of course you’d be a likely candidate, it’s within the bounds of your character, I’d never hurt my loved ones.” Thoughts like these prevent introspection around what actually occurred because it’s too much to bear.

I also like what the other commenter suggested around Jinwoo being the issue here. Like he somehow started the chain reaction of events in the world and we just don’t know how (memory is the missing link) but I’d even push it a step further and tie in the authors tag about unrequited love. The title is Hounds of Sisyphus. Either Jinwoo is making Guwon pay for something with an eternal life by having stitched him back together (if those aren’t tattoos as I’ve previously theorized) and this would explain his resurrected toddler state of relearning and fixation on protecting the town/sexing up Jinwoo. Or Jinwoo is being punished for trying to bring back his dead mother whose death he couldn’t handle and in doing so fucked everything up and is now being punished and Guwon is the hound sent to him (one track mind/unrequited love style.)

Lots of thoughts and probably no goddamn answers for another season
