WAIT omg you’re onto smth
my thoughts exactlyyyy-- figs is so specific too
That would explain the stitches
The “stitches” are tattoos.
See this makes me believe my theory even more. My theory has been that he died in the prologue, but came back to life. For some reason, though, he came back functional unlike other who’d come back after death. . I thought at first that the hounds may be the same, and that’s why they’re “not quite right in the head” and “freakishly strong”. But now I’m leaning towards they’re just crazy and the teacher is the only other one, which is why Guwon separates them from everyone else.
That still has to mean something, the artist wouldn't just put stitches on him for no reason
He also has a similar eye look to the zombies in this story.
Wait so when someone is dead…In the very early stages of decomposition, some people describe the odor as slightly sweet, sickly-sweet, or fruity. Maybe he doesn’t take care of his perfume but more like he his dead ???
