The color palette theory makes complete sense. It’s been sticking out to me for awhile and you just helped me understand why!
Yes! The colour palette definitely gives it a darker tone. Just when Andrew accidentally cut himself. Every thought, he did that because he wanted Luke's attention. But it wasn't true. the author themselves clarified that it was an accident because he is clumsy, lol.
You're welcome
I don't feel like it's gonna be full angst in the future chapters. If anything that's going to create drift between them is their surroundings but I've two theories why everyone is on their toes.
1) The colour palette is on the cooler side rather than warmer. The darker tones which we usually see and use in psychological manhwas. That's why, I think, it's giving people anxiety.
2) My second theory is that we shifted from seeing Luke's POV to Andrew's POV. For a while, we've been seeing the story from Andrew's perspective. We do get what Luke is thinking but in glimpses.
If you have your own theories. Please feel free to reply.
