So are coca and yaba supposed to be opposites? Coca heals and Yaba destroys because in all the incidents where Yaba sings there seems to be either death, or it seems like the man who he’s singing for (forgot his name sorry) health seems to be deteriorating
Spoilers ahead!!!
The best way the novel put it is the Yama is a siren. He can heal but he can also harm someone.
In the novel there is a scene where Yaba heals the ML (forgot his name) while having sex.
But as you said when healing the ML brother his health is deteriorating, but when Coca heals him, it actually gets better.
I didn't read the novel but i don't think as i see from what we know so far they both have the ability to heal or destroy its more up to what they want. coca's main mindset is to heal, he's kindhearted and wants to help people. yaba isn't evil or anything but his mindset is much less focused on healing people and so far he only truly used his powers strongly when he wanted to hurt someone. also, the meds yaba had been forced to take probably weakened his ability or something in my opinion, they definitely have something to do with how messed up he is right now.
Later the thug, based on suggestions from Coca, found his late dad's researcher assistant. That person then said they (the researcher) classified Healers into some certain type. They thought Coca can do both healing and killing, since they first thought Coca killed the doctors. And no one knew about Yaba's healing and killing voice until later. I forgot what's the word for the healing only and both healing and killing. But I rmb Yaba aren't classified as both.
The researcher is actually searching for a Perfect Healer, someone who can being back someone to life. But then they couldn't found it, also the assistant researcher mentioned about the Siren type.








This is such slop but it’s my kind of slop. I love dramatic authors
