That ending is so fucking sad. While Sahan has someone by his side to embrace that he's still 25, Philip doesn't exactly have anyone he can do that with. That's probably where his profound loneliness comes from.
For him, he probably needed companionship from Sahan who is from the same era as him. Sahan probably thought that Philip thought he had all the answers, but I don't think that was it at all. He just needed someone who understood their shared strife.
I feel angry on behalf of Philip, but I feel like even if Sahan had gone he would have killed himself at a later date anyway. It seemed like he was possibly going to just have one last big thing and then let it go.
Ughh, the water spirit crying when it got raptured gets me
Later on, there's a scene in the novel where even as an adult, Taehee still misses the water spirit and regrets everything T_T

The exorcists T_T
The blue flames alerted the exorcists of the location of Seono and grandpa and they put two and two together
Grandpa helped the ghosts pass on, but that also means he lost all of his friends
Even tho they were just ghosts, they were Taehee's family, which is part of where his extreme sympathy and care towards ghosts and spirits comes from









Seojun wearing timbs lol
Honestly, the story was very dramatic and involved a lot of not being clear about things. I like Minwoo because he seemed like a more fleshed out character. With Seojun, there was the whole bdsm thing that didn't get addressed again after a while.
This author likes writing stories where the mc likes a guy who shows up later, and the guy who was already acquainted with mc and yearns for him gets shafted.
