I can kind of agree, but also disagree just because I feel like they both went through the same amount of pain and each chose to process it differently. Cocaine just embraced his position and quietly waits for an opportunity to finally be free. Yaba has only spiraled ever since the day he was kidnapped and castrated, but he does have a reason for the way he acts. I wont spoil cause I think the novel deserves to be read! It about chapter 29 in the novel where this chapter leaves off here.
I don't think Cocaine wants to be free. I think he likes being the top of his own little world and the little scraps of power he's been given.
Idk about the novel. But if we read the same manhwa, he did think wanting to be free in the manhwa.
Cocaine is not as innocent as he poses to be, he's worse than Yaba. If Yaba is not mentally unstable he wouldn't dare do the things he did.. Cocaine is a cunning and selfish bitch, I read the novel and throughout I hate how he always wants everything for himself leaving nothing for others.
