not a single sane thought behind these eyes

As pitiful as he can be

Inho: Uh. No?

Gihun: 🥺 but 🥺 please 🥺🥺🥺

In-ho was such a fucking asshole here. He really thought he was doing something by giving her that jacket, when he was only making things worse.

Psychologically, Ga-yeong was actually better off thinking her father had abandoned her rather than knowing he was dead. Which is precisely why Gi-hun cut contacts with her when he decided to stop the games! He knew she'd suffer less thinking he had abandoned her. He knew she'd suffer less if she started hating him.

'Cause now she doesn't know when he died, how he died or why he died. All she has is a bloody jacket that only tells her he didn't have a peaceful end. A person can't even start the grieving process like that! There's a reason why the families of murder victims fight for the truth for years or even decades, the grieving process is a lot harder when you don't have the whole truth about what happened to your loved one.

Like, I would be confused to the moon and back as an adult with somewhat established coping mechanisms... How does a child process all of that? How does she not become paranoid? How does her family trust her with this amount of money? I believe In-ho ruled out any legal trouble, but still – she's supposed to somehow explain the sudden multiplication of her family's wealth to all her peers? She's supposed to make it make sense how her dad went from being severely debt-bound to leaving behind what many people don't make in a lifetime? In a span of three to four years?

Oh and think about how the whole house would be mad for another couple of years after that. Ga-yeong would never be allowed any privacy again, and they would probably try to move somewhere else in fear they are being followed. So many things can go wrong literally!!!!

OUR HUSBAND WON!!!!!

The mind forgets but the body remembers.
