Yknow I’m not really one for tragic endings but I fear there’s no other way for this story to go. Yeonseoung is dead, right? It’s interesting, because they almost keep speaking of him as if there’s a way to bring him back, but he totally fell off that cliff and got consumed by the tiger spirit. It makes me wonder if they’re intentionally being vague. I feel like because no one has straight up said it yet, Geonpil is honestly being kind of delusional. As long as he has his hyung is some form, it doesn’t matter to him. Which actually says a lot about how truly selfish he’s being. I can see why the gods are so hard him. He had a rough upbringing and then had two people who welcomed him with open arms and gave him a family. And really all he did in the end was use them. I just re-read their text thread from the first chapter and it broke my heart. Yeonseung was basically crying out for his help and he still chose to ignore him, which ultimately caused his death.
TLDR: Geonpil deserves to atone for his sins and he’s living in selfish delusion by keeping the tiger around as a replacement for Yeonseung for comfort.
