May this type of love hit me SO hard to the point that all my limbs would crash out and break
I felt like it could've gone another season showcasing their college life, magnifying how it went when their peers found things out. Also, expounding more on the 6 month supposed “ldr” when dojun got the internship overseas before ending. But it was a GREAT read, i let this story marinate for far too long, but still left a very sweet taste on my mouth ლ(´ڡ`ლ)
I believe this story tackles about human emotions in the sense of trust, betrayal, and love. How one person pure’s solitude (symbolism of a sheep) could be change in the face of emotional disruption (Todd’s role). In the end Dennis chose love- his believed formed bond with Todd putting aside all his fears in hopes to upholding their promises. A person who, in hope to embraced change, fell in the schemes of a fox, a fallen lamb.
I think Todd really do have that small hope in living a normal life but nature itself just wouldn’t let him, in the last chapter he was seen trying to pet the horse when Dennis was about to go, but the horse avoided his hand leaving him in a sour expression. I think it’s one of those things that keeps reminding and chaining Todd to who he really is, that even if he DO try(?) doing things what a normal person would, nature wouldn’t let it.
It might also be the reason why he did what he did in the end, because thats what he’s supposed to do, thats his role, and thats what expected of him, thats his nature that he couldn’t change.
There was a lot of symbolism in the story, few of which i believe are:
Lamb - purity
Todd - catalyst of change
Todd’s name - a fox
Todd’s disappearance - the trial itself
Cliff - a boundary of choice
Overall it’s a great read, it made me think at least unlike the generic yaoi stories i read daily lmao. Thought, the story being short, and having an open ending, it promotes readers to visualize and deduce their own ending. Atleast for me, I believed that Dennis jumping on the cliff wasn't literal but rather the emotional and physical acceptance of change he went through in order to be with Todd. In my book they’re together where they both fully accepted each other’s flaws and lived happily ever after ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭
Someone decipher the meaning of symbolisms here, why did Todd went missing for so long, what is that “important” thing he has to do? What does the pit symbolizes, and why did Dennis assume Todd to be there? Dennis said he wouldn't let Todd go, by jumping he unalived himself. Does that mean Todd was never real? Or rather not a real human-wolf shapeshifter but another cursed being?









Anyone knows where i can read the novel for this one in english?
