Ok philosopher
Omfg I love your theory but I feel like we're missing something.
I like your theory but this is basically plot of dead man switch.
Genuinely thought you were jumping till u mentioned Sisyphus..... Ur smart af
I had theorized this before, but this chapter really is driving it home as being very likely.
But I'm pretty sure Jinwoo is looping through time over and over again with the starting point being when Guwon finds him.
That's why Jinwoo finds these strangers bodies to be familiar. It's why he has almost prophetic dreams of people he knows being dead and blaming him (like the doctor being dead in his dream before he even sees a trial). It's why he tries to kill Guwon in his sleep before knowing his true nature. It's possibly why Guwon sees him as being a real person and not a pet because he's the only other person who is like him. Who is different from normal humans.
Sisyphus was punished for his hubris to roll a boulder up a hill only for it to roll back down before reaching the top, forcing him to repeat it over and over again, never reaching the top. Just like Jinwoo (and possibly Guwon) are repeating the same timeline making the same mistakes
