[LONG RANT AHEAD]

i personally enjoyed this. i'm so fucking invested, but i've been rereading chap 1 after every chapter because i'm so confused. was that white haired guy hima at the beginning? then did than say "shin hwajin privilege"? hima IS shin hwajin right? the white haired guy is talking about hwajin like he's a different person too.

also what's up with the capital? they're so fixated on shin hwajin like he isn't just a low-born esper. did they know about his potential or was it only just hwayoung who knew?

junoh... poor guy only wanted to know the truth about hwajin. i think part of him wants to run away and reunite with kian too, but they tortured him and groomed him with a guide. he's pretty much broken atp, and it's sad that kian saw him in that state too.

i'm gonna drop this. not because it's bad, but i'm too invested in this story that i can't fully enjoy it without bingeing. that's all, thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    I’m thinking that future Than will think that Shin hwajin is Hima’s brother (I thinkkkk that he told than about his brother before but I could be wrong) Hima could “die” in an incident caused by the gov or his own powers but he actually awakens as a full esper. Bc Shin hwajin and his brother are twins Than could think that Shin hwajin is Hima’s evil twin who is also an esper (at the future hima has white hair so Than wouldn’t think that it’s him bc in his eyes Hima did not have powers.That could also explain why he told Shin hwajin to not say Hima’s name in the first chapter

    No, shin hwajin is hima, Hwayoung is his twin. I think white hair from ch 1 are hima with his power awakening.

    I know. That’s why I said so. Even tho we as readers know the truth, than could think otherwise. Cos he doesn’t know all of this. So he could mistake Hima Hoth white hair as his twin brother. He has both eyes, white hair and a whole different personality than before so I think it wouldn’t be too surprising if than mistakes Hima (who we already know is Shin hwajin) and think it’s his twin brother due to all the differences between who he thought Hima was and how he actually is now
