Alright Chat, what we thinking?

Here’s a little theory of mine that is definitely flawed and broken, so bear with me.
Given the title and a lil research on Sisyphus, what if this whole story is a time loop and everyone time Jinwoo gets close to figuring out what’s going on, the loop resets.
We see in the beginning we start at Jinwoo’s house with an unidentified dead person and Guwon who just happens to show up. Next we see the two in the back of the truck on the way to town. We see this again for a second time in Ch 24. Each loop is slightly different, but start the same: Jinwoo in his house with a dead person (robber, his father, and now doc) and Guwoo.
This theory isn’t soundproof, but let’s think about it like this: Sisyphus is forced to repeat the same task of pushing a boulder up a mountain because he cheated death. For an undisclosed reason, humanity is cheating death and is now stuck in a time loop. Not sure how Jinwoo gets stuck in it, but the loop could explain why Guwoo has the mental capacity of a child (if you remember in chapter 1, he struggles to read Jinwoo’s diploma, but after a minute, he suddenly remembers how to read. This might suggest that he’s been in it so long, he’s just lost certain skills) but also knows how to run the town and keep everyone in check.
Still trying to figure out the hounds part, but this is all I got for now.
