Also came looking for that

just read the manga bro

Basically, when Woowon's abusive father died from the incident, has been haunted with nightmares of him. This also caused him to be more clingy and touchy towards Seo-an. In fact, he panics when he's not around...

However, the reason why Seo-an is mad is because Woowon didn't refuse the invitation of the guy who holds the video of Seo-an punching his face (refer to the 2nd season chapter where Seo-an beat someone's face after forcefully kissing Woowon). Part of the fact as to why Wowoon still met up with the mf is because he wanted to do something for Seo-an. And instead, Seo-an sees this as "Wowoon incapabilities" that it is outside of his jurisdiction to care for this matter and there are better things to focused on like confronting his self both from the past and the future.

There is a line that I particularly like, when Seo-an said "you're useless on your own so stop trying to fix anything" I don't like this solely because of the words but the fact that this admonition speaks just how privileged Seo-an is. We all know that his father is also abusive, nonetheless, he had the means to:
a. therapy
b. to separate himself from the spatial dominion, the environment of his abuser (hence the golden palace, the penthouse he has)
Meanwhile Wowoon didn't have any of that. He had to bear with everything that he's gone through. He was never given the space to look after himself because he had to live with his abuser and at the same time his idea of "helping" is fixing everything that he can. He worked multiple jobs. He stopped going school etc. etc. This was his and Seo-an's great divide. This is also the reason why he left Seo-an atm because his only means of fixing didn't even fixed anything at all.

I know a lot of people feels like the story has been "dragging" thus far but in my opinion, it is a very crucial aspect of building their individual resolve, their dynamics, especially if they choose to be together for a long run. From the vergmy beginning, Upi-nim (the author) made it clear that their narrative will not be flat or linear just for the sake of romance. In fact, from the earliest chapters—the part when Wowoon took a hint of Seo-an's interest towards him, he said something "I want to relax and accept things for myself but I know that's not the role I meant to play" (ref. to chap 18) We see from this just how far they are in terms of dynamics, that Seo-an has the privilege to pursue him, he didn't need to think of anything. Seo-an's sure of something he wants. Wowoon doesn't know what he wants because he's never even had the privilege to refuse.

p.s. sorry for plugging TMI but if you have questions do not hesitate to ask! (つ✧ω✧)つ

I am rereading it as well I think I’m about 20ish chapters behind maybe less it’s just been a while

oh :3

right bc what is this bs

It looks like maybe a mix between Ainu (Indigenous Japanese) and Inuit (Indigenous Canadian/Greenland) leaning a bit more to Inuit for the most part. From the way they wear layered furs and it looks like they're in a mountainous region where it's wintery all year round, the boots etc remind me of Inuit clothing.

But you can see in Ignat's cave when Rita takes off his furs he has on kimono like clothing with geometric embroidered patterns that look a lot closer to traditional Ainu wear.

I also feel like I've seen wedding attire/headresses/earrings like Rita's that are simiar to a few different regions. The headress is similar to Wishram (Indigenous American) or traditional Palestinian wedding headdress, which use coins on chains with added beading, for example.

TL;DR: Seems like the artist researched and picked from a few different regions traditional clothing, and mixed what they wanted for Rita's people. I also like it, and this was fun to look into. I learned a lot! Thanks~

i did NOT realize it's been over a year since the last update lmao it feels like i read this recently
