i think it’s the uke. teach has the brains, he seems weak yet still managed to survive. he cheated death just like Sisphus and seized the opportunity to trap Thanatos (Guwon) who was set to chain (kill) him. i doubt he’s weak physically too, especially with the sleepwalking shit.
Same thought. He'll lead the group at the end I think, with guwon and the hounds wrapped around his fingers instead
i was thinking it's him too, i was hesitant bcos it's narrated through his perspective and he doesn't seem to know anything at all other than what he already know pre-apocalypse. tho if it's between guwon and him, teach would make more sense. i also think I got too caught up with the title, especially "the hounds" and who owns them in right now.
lol but what if it's not a returnee story at all
theory 1: guwon is Sisyphus (implications: he's a returnee) and the hounds are, ofc, the hounds. but i also feel like that's too in the face. also he's kinda clueless and ig dumb, he's like all brawns no brain, which I feel like negates the sisyphus thing.
i really feel like this manhwa COULD potentially be a lot more intentional and well-planned than you would initially think. though, it would lowkey be sad for the author bcos their readers are all about the yaoiness and "psychoness" of guwon.
