why does the ugliest mf have the cutest merchandise anyway. DER merch ppl why do this when plenty of horror mascots irl are still as scary even in merch.
"Hello, this is Baek Deoksu, writer of 'Even if I fall into a ghost story, I still have to go to work'.
During a recent health check-up, abnormal findings were discovered, and I was diagnosed with need for surgery. As the surgery has been scheduled at a tertiary hospital, I have been forced to take an urgent hiatus starting this week. I am deeply sorry to have to deliver this news so soon after part 3 began.
Including the recovery period following the surgery. it appears I will be able to return to serialization after a hiatus of about a month and a half to two months.
A detailed return schedule will be provided later.
I am very disappointed and sorry. I will do my best to recover my health and write the manuscript well."
Ok so tertiary hospital, that's serious stuff.
For example there's not a single tertiary hospital in Jeju. Even in Seoul there's only a handful. It's the biggest of the big hospitals.
How it works is, you first go to your local hospital (lv1, lv2) and then if the doctor says it's too serious to deal with here, you get upgraded to tertiary (lv3). You can't directly go to tertiary, you can only go if the local hospital doctor says you should.
Here's hoping the surgery goes well and BDS returns to full health without any issues 🙏
need the manager's pov here. cuz for all we know the manager could be seeing a rando claiming ownership over the resort. i'm willing to defend the manager until they're proven guilty.
↳ though. i must admit i hate them for treating cleaners as people of lower status. i wish to throw the mop at them—
↳ and upon thinking actually, they wouldn't have said the contract had concluded if they were referring to the contract with the cleaning company. oh dear.
glad that KSE remembered this guy is not human. cuz obviously human logic won't work. i will doubt KSE again, but this time i'll be on his side against this snarky ass manager.
KSE. do you fr think that time went by normally if the contract only expired 27 hours ago? THERE'S SMTH MORE WITH HOW TIME PASSED WITH THE CONTRACT. PLEASE.
↳ also who tf was it who wanted to go home and leave everything associated with ghost stories behind? wdym you're now saying should've come back sooner? DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF—
oh. this mf using the rules now?
okay. as much as i think that this guy deserves more for the shit KSE dumped on them across the years, i also think their mouth needs to get shoved with a mop. srsly, they need to respect cleaners more bcs otherwise this resort would end up as STINKY as their STINKY murder lodge.
exploiting loop holes til theyre patched again. let's go KSE.
i missed Braun's last minute hints but alas 'tis not yet the time. i can be patient for a grander reveal.
OH. THAT'S WHY NO ONE GREETED THEM. CUZ THE MANAGER STUFFED THEM IN THE BASEMENT.
↳ the few times KSE was smart abt his contracts and it helped him omg
so the manager couldn't take over KSE's authority.
OH SO THE EMPLOYEES SHOULD STILL RECOGNIZE KSE AS THE MASCOT. I SEE. OKAY. SO KSE STILL HOLDS AUTHORITY.
↳ this rly answered huge questions for future theories.
aww the Heouns aren't here. actually for the best
KSE wtf is with that ambiguous answer
↳ ai is a pain omfg i just srsly thought the employees answered like ai chatbots.
Haegeum left?
the papers !
↳ Agents Choi and Bronze...
THE EGGSHELLS REMAINED?
the bureau higher-ups are stinky as ever. whatever.
🥺 aww Agent Haegeum...
↳ "Thank you always, Agent Grapes" AWWWWW.
? Haegeum. what happened to RJK? WHAT HAPPENED HEY?
↳ "but since Lee Gyeol clearly said that both of them were safe" KSE fls he hesitated answering that question.
I CALL CULT.
i don't want to sound like a karen but CALL THE FUCKING MANAGER.
↳ omg. i wonder if Haegeum lowk had some feeling that it rly was KSE or that this resort is still connected to him. cuz in a situation like this where KSE could've been an anomaly, i don't think Haegeum would've left this kind of clue abt the current state of the resort.
↳ ↳ that would also mean Haegeum shut the door on the stinky manager rather than KSE himself ! at least i'm hoping that's the case. maybe not tho.
honestly. i am mad at this ghost story entity. however, it's not like it's being "evil" or anything, they're just acting "as they are" as a ghost story entity.
↳ which is interesting actually. the "manager" is taking over the resort, but they don't go as far as claiming that they are the owner. kinda like a certain director who feels like claiming the company as theirs but can't exactly claim it as theirs.
↳ ↳ i am suddenly scared for a possibility of this being a foreshadowing.
↳ ↳ which further makes me wonder about Braun. but everyone knows that anyway.
↳ they're also smart tho. like if they're rly exploiting a loop hole rn bcs of KSE's current "role", then they're a higher being than one would think. tho ofc not high enough cuz they're still just a manager lmfao.
In defense of the Golden Flower Resort Manager....
spoilers for Ch406...
I'm on the Managers side tbh.
Yes he's disrespectful and arrogant but I do believe Soleum owes him that.
Soleum randomly dumps ALL responsibility of a currently half exploded resort to the Manager and then randomly dips. The Manager now has to do everything all by himself. Rebuild the resort and keep business going. Soleum ONLY pulls up to either take resort money or to randomly send guests there for free. Meanwhile the Manager just has to deal with everything.
And the Manager clearly has good ideas for the resort! But he can't enact them because he's just the Manager.
And when Soleum finally pulls up and approves the idea to take over the Subway IT GOES TO SHIT!! Things went horribly for the resort! And then Soleum leaves presumably forever! Leaving the Manager to handle this all on his own while having no way to contact or communicate with Soleum at all. Soleum leaves him completly isolated.
And the contract ends. And good thing the Manager actually LIKES being here. Because if he didn't what is he supposed to do? The proper thing would be hand over the Resort to the Mascot. Or maybe discuss a new contract. But again HE HAS NO WAY TO CONTACT SOLEUM!!! The Mascot is literally in another world he has no way of getting to.
So of course he stays. And hell hes doing a great job at being Manager! He hasnt exactly done a hostile takeover from the looks of it. He seems to have kept all of Soleums rules and facilities. Hes literally just continuing to manage them after his contract ended. Which really is a favor to Soleum.
And I think people forget that THIS IS THE BEST CASE SCENARIO!! The problem with the contract was that it expired. That eventually Soleum would have to return to being the Mascot and be eternally trapped there or doom one of his employees to that fate instead. Soleums plan was to return home before that happened.
But this is the best case scenario! That the Manager wants to continue being in charge of the Resort even AFTER his contract ended! Which is exactly what happened!
I think Soleum got too comfy with having only the advantages of being the Golden Mascot. Being able to pull currency from there, able to use the abilities of Golden Flower to his advantage, to have that domain and power as an option, to give people free passes.
And now he's upset that the Manager took away all those advantages from him.
But he's forgetting the Manager also took all the DISADVANTAGES of being the Mascot. The eternal imprisonment. The contamination. The loss of humanity.
Is the Manager being rude? Yes. Arrogant? Yes. Would the right thing to do be handing over the resort to Soleum? Yes.
But I think he's valid. After all THIS Soleum isn't the Mascot. The Resort does not recognize him as such. He's just a normal human. And right now he's a cleaner for the Resort. Nothing more.
The Mascot never gave him any orders to treat any other version of himself as the Mascot as well. So I think the Managers completly valid in treating Soleum exactly as what he is. A cleaner working for the Resort. If anything I think he's being more polite and respectful then he should be. Because he WAS the Mascot. Right now in this body in this form, Soleum is not the Mascot
So yeah. I'm on the Managers side here.
Even if in a chapter or two I have to eat my words because the Manager does smth, for now. Here's where I stand.

mmm. lowk i think KSE needs to chill for one second.
-
last week had a shorts mention now it's reels 😭
hmm, so the lodge keeper expected the company to have briefed their workers, so no greeting? still feels a bit careless but this is also ghost story logic so let's see ig
pure coincidence or not... i do think there are external influences going on. i'm just not sure whether i'd agree with KSE on the "bcs of his prior connection" part cuz there isn't a solid confirmation on how much of his previous stuff carried over to his new body...
good luck to these mfs theyre srsly going back to the goop factory sooner or later
i do get if this stemmed from KSE's sense of caution since he knows this is a ghost story, but this is probably him feeling a sense of ownership.
↳ which is a rly interesting. cuz if his previous stuff rly wasn't carried over to his new body, this would cement the fact that his prior contaminated identities are a mix of external influences and his innate feelings. so even if the external influences may have been wiped clean, his feelings would've remained, and it's extremely evident rn without his goal of going home clouding everything. ouh scales and hanbit library i miss u so bad.
"are you the boss's son or something" /I am the boss... but I wouldn't be able to say that/ reincarnation ahh situation 😭
i wish KSE would chill 😭 i mean it would come to bite them soon + more material for manuals yk
↳ tho i'm actl wondering how the new researcher would react to KSE this time. they would eventually believe KSE once he brings consistent results, but would they take KSE's words at face value for the first time? or would they be more skeptical first? would they also be as greedy as the previous one?
this feels like those mobile ad games. instantly shiny. dopamine rush.
oh. so that's how irl places are chosen for this ghost story.
"even elevators are divided by class" i mean service elevators were always a thing.
oh those kinds of floors. hey what if Braun—
aww was he expecting to see the agents again? probably a good moment for him but not for them tho 😭
my guy. besides those experienced with ghost stories, would they rly trust a rulebook from a suspicious place? 😭
:(( him actually missing the connection
AGENT HAEGEUM??? OH NO
what was that weird text. huh?
↳ him thinking this is an anomaly bcs Haegeum wouldn't do that... PLEASE REMEMBER THAT YOU SUPPOSEDLY WENT HOME BUT SUDDENLY YOU APPEAR LIKE A GHOST. OF COURSE SHE'D SHUT THE DOOR
↳ do you not think everyone at the Bureau would be exasperated 😭 pls bffr KSE
↳ "but for that (rescuing citizens), both their appearance and their behavior were too bizarre" ??? please elaborate i rly dont know if it's what Haegeum just did or he missed out on describing smth afain
OH NO NOT LIFELESS GOLDEN 😭
27 HOURS AND 13 MINUTES AGO ARE WE DEADASS 😭
"they were robbing the resort" darn
the comments are so funny omfg
↳ "You're talking too much for someone who was just stuck in a loser's cabin." is this the Tuesday Quiz Show cuz someone's getting burned alive 🔥
okay. upon second read tho, i think lodge keeper and KSE aren't on the same pages
↳ like would you use the word "finalized" for a contract that has concluded? finalized is usually said when the details of a contract (that has yet to start) has finally been decided on, no? so the contract the keeper is referring to could be the contract with the cleaning company? though please correct me if google translate was inaccurate for this phrase edit: i've run this phrase thru other translators and i think it's just google translate being bad at choosing synonyms (like yk how words can be synonyms but have different implications). nvm this then.
↳ plus rn, KSE doesn't have any identifier on him, so it was natural that the keeper didn't recognize him as the "owner undercover". ghost story entities identify humans differently unlike humans, so no identifier → this is not their employee. even if this "soul" is KSE, only Braun so far could recognize him regardless of his lack of identifiers (i'd also include Blue Dragon but i can't be sure since they haven't seen KSE as Z999 yet but i do hope they'd recognize him).
↳ ↳ TL;DR: KSE PLEASE REMEMBER GHOST STORY LOGIC
tho i am curious abt the lodge keeper rn. cuz what if the contract *did* expire? are they rly trying to take over the resort?
Kim Soleum. The POV character for the majority of the novel and yet one pretty difficult to understand. A character who does not aknowledge or analyze himself and an unreliable narration.
However I will attempt it ☝️!
Specifically for Ch404. And try to figure out his feelings on his own identity.
Here are my general thoughts first.
Soleum was very unstable this chapter. Despite his narration telling us he was confident in his identity, he was lying. He was falling apart and only managed to pull himself together because of Jin Nasol. And when Jin Nasol was no longer there to anchor him, he panicked. He froze.
First you can immiedatly identity the change in Soleums narration. Usually he adds a lot of personality and thought process to his narration but not here. Hes just telling us exactly whats happening with a couple of adjectives thrown in. Such as "desperate"
He reacts slowly. He just stares at his hand while slowly piecing together the truth. That once again, he is not human.
Finally he reacts. Hes freaking out. Hes repeating words. Its crashing in on him.
Kim Soleum is not a character who likes describing or aknowledging himself. However he is a character who enjoys relating to another character. Feeling similar to them. He gets comfort off of someone like him. So occasionally he will tell us his own emotions by describing another characters emotions. Sometimes obviously. Sometimes subtly.
Here its obvious
However Nasol reacts very differently from him. Kim Soleum is a character who never gives up. No matter the odds. No matter the chances. Its very rare for him to fully give up.
Jin Nasol is someone realistic. Someone who when the situation looks dire will simply give up. And thats what she does here. Begins talking without a care in the world. Almost making jokes. She accepts the truth and gives up.
And that scares Kim Soleum. He is completly silient while she talks but you can tell in the small bits of narration, what he's feeling.
Spoke without frowning. A terrifyingly calm voice.
Kim Soleum has two ways of treating characters. Either as someone relatable and just like him. Or as someone whose nothing like him at all.
Soleum will distance himself from people who are not like him. Who will view them as something completly different and will often make judgemental or mocking comments in his head regarding them. He treated Jin Nasol like this earlier in Part 3.
And towards people he believes are like him he will get very attached to them. He will also behave in a more friendly and open manner towards them.
And the more he trusts a person, the more he'll start to believe they're like him, and the more he'll get attached and start to trust them. (To the point he'll get surprised and a little judgemental when they suddenly behave unlike him)
Right now Jin Nasol is someone who he trusts. Who he's viewing to be like himself. So right now when she's behaving in a way unlike him (not seeming upset and just speaking calmly)
Hes not judging her or distancing himself from her opinion. He is accepting her comments fully. And he's scared of them.
He then begins speaking very logically. He comes up with an arguement countering Nasol's and even has evidence for it. Its very convincing.
Were it not for him literally agreeing with Nasols arguement a second later.
So what was that? That whole arguement with proof and logic backing it up.
Well to put it simply. I think it was Soleum talking out of his ass.
Its a skill he possesses and has used many many times. Most commonly seen in the Daydream Era when he needed to come up with an explanation for how he got out of a Darkness. And he always provided logical evidence and reasoning to support his actions (despite the fact that all he did was have info before he went into the Darkness)
Except back then, the audience knew he was bluffing. Here he didn't. And thats because he can't.
He needed to reject Nasol's point and convince her that they were in fact, the real Jin Nasol and Kim Soleum because he could not waver in his confidence. He pulled a logical arguement out of nowhere not because he believed it, but because he needed Nasol to believe it. Because rn he is entirely depending on Nasol.
Okay okay let me explain. With two points.
Kim Soleum does not have a good history regarding his identity.
And Kim Soleum does not like being alone.
It is something he told us at the very start of the series. In Abyss Transpo. He told us that in the very first chapters. That he could not go alone. Because he's absolutely terrified of horror. And this fact has held true for the entirity of the story.
And when Soleums identity has collapsed around him. When he learns a horrible horrible truth that shatters him. He was alone.
In ch208 when Soleum learns that he was summoned here, that he is not human, he is utterly alone. He panics and falls apart mentally and physically.
The second time his identity fell apart he was not alone. Technically. Physically he was not alone. When he learned that he was a Good Friend and the real human him had been trapped as the host of Sekwang city Disaster, he has Braun with him. But ultimately Braun does not ground him. Braun falls apart. Even Ho Yuwon who appears later does not ground him immiedatly. Ho Yuwon simply provides a solution to the problem.
Here he is not alone. Like I said earlier he currently views Nasol as someone he trusts and cares for. Someone he sees like himself. Someone who he's very currently emotionally connected to. He doesnt panic, he doesnt act. He simply listens to what she says.
So when the person who he's currently depending on and emotionallt connected to starts talking about how they're not real, and begins to give up... well he can't allow that. He can't let himself fall apart. And if she falls apart so will he.
So he starts bluffing. He makes up this great arguement to convince her so she can stay and not fall apart. So he can not fall apart. So they can stay confident in their own identities.
And you can tell hes bluffing because he literally admits his head clears AFTER his arguement. And when his head is clear he immiedatly goes "yeah but we both are dead tho" because thats the real truth. He just needed the previous arguement to ground them.
And you can see it in this exact same breath of a line how he only calms down after he sees Nasol calm down.
And you can tell his head cleared because his normal narration returns. He begins to have thoughts and feelings and well- his head clears.
After that he starts speaking honestly. With the actual truth of the matter.
And he genuinely continues to speak honestly. He doesnt suddenly close up or hesitate. He is truly and fully honest with someone one else.
Then Soleum moves to an internal narration.
Ive seen a lot of people say this internal narration is smth they're very proud of Soleum for. He's reassured of his own identity confidentially states he's himself.
Except I think he's lying.
Well more specifically he's just saying stuff to try and make himself feel better. Gaslighting himself into being confident. You can see him admit it in one of the very first lines.
He tells us he didnt fall into a panic. That his mind was calm and steady. He's just trying to convince himself he is. And you can see that in the immiedate next line
Where he backtracks. Because even he can't make himself believe he was calm and steady and didn't panic. So he makes it more believable.
And I believe for the rest of the internal dialogue for this section, he exhibits the same behavior. He's not nessecarily lying, but its not the truth either. He just tells himself so he can feel better and more confident in himself.
First he makes a comment that "actually this isn't so bad! I've been through worse!"
Which seems like an attempt to make himself feel better about the current situation.
And then he repeats a comment about his confidence in his identity FOUR TIMES. Every time in a different way. That seems more to me like someone whose trying to convince himself then someone he rlly believes it. I mean you can even see it in the second attempt.
How it trails off before finishing with a very basic "i am me". Because thats true! He is him! But hes clearly not aknowledging the many other truths about himself. He can't. He won't.
Anyways he calms down. And then he doesn't do anything. He simply stands there and talks while they are actively leaking out and running out of time. And he speaks and behaves in a very strange manner.
I hope? We? Why in the world is he just standing around? Why simply nudge Nasol towards the correct course of action? Why isn't Soleum taking charge and leading? Why is he hoping they don't give up instead of just not giving up at all? Why is he lumping him and Nasols opinions together like they're the same?
Well this can be explained by first. Realizing that despite his attempts to comfort himself and despite his comments of pulling himself together and having a clear head, that it wasn't the truth. He still is very much freaked out. And currently he is entirely depending on Nasol.
This isn't the first time he's done this. But its not a common thing he does. In fact the situations where he freezes up in panic seem to come up in more and more extreme places.
The first time he did this was with Go Youngeun in Abyss Transpo. Where he saw the sea of blood and froze despite confidentially saying this was their stop moments before. He got through that because he relied and focused on Go Youngeun. He even told us this.
The second time he did it was in Hangman. When the Teachers appeared and he suddenly froze up. Until Braun calmly began to lead him forward.
Here is completly relying on Jin Nasol. Not only that, but he is right now emotionally tied with her. Which what I mean by that is that if shes calm hes calm. If she gives up he gives up. If she moves he moves. Its why he lumps them together and says "I hope we don't give up." Its why he presents the next course of action to her but doesn't do anything himself.
He needs her to pull him forward. And she does.
And only then does he move and act.
(Its interesting cause hes really the one pulling Nasol out of giving up. And because he pulls her out, she pulls him out. Its rlly all thanks to his own efforts yet hes entirely depending on her. Anyways)
and you can clearly see how honest and open he's being right now. He openly admitted out loud to Nasol that he's glad he's they're in this together. Awwww. Very heartwarming 🥹
Mind you he never honestly admits he's glad someone is there. Sometimes he does to manipulate them but again that isnt honest. Sometimes he admits it in his head but again. That isnt out loud. I dunno for sure but im pretty sure this is the first time he honestly told someone hes glad theyre here out loud.
And then he makes herself feel better with her lack of reaction by saying at least she didnt say some rude comment. And that her being quiet wasnt a bad sign. Like he wants her to be happy hes here too. Very cute.
Anyways only now does Soleums narration fully return to normal. He is now actively thinking of a plan and next course of action and charging ahead with the goal of survival. Whoo hoo!
In fact he seems to be more open the his usual narration. He usually makes an effort to never acknowledge himself but here he does! He even seems more annoyed by it! Being with someone and talking about it out loud seems to have helped a lot
He behaves normally for the rest of the chapter. Nothing much to note. Until well er- until Jin Nasol starts melting 😬
Remember what I said about him being entirely dependent on Nasol rn? Yeahhh...
Notice how his narration therefore focus immiedatly shifts to be entirely about her. Gone are any thoughts regarding the plan, regarding what she's literally sacrificing herself for. He is entirely focused on her. How shes falling apart. Melting.
He even does a hint of that self gaslighting behavior here. By saying No. Just No to her melting. Ofc that doesn't do much.
And after this he exhibits this behavior of completely freezing and going blank before mentally slapping himself in the face. He needs to save Jin Nasol. And then he freezes again. And then he mentally slaps himself in the face. In the end he goes a lot slower then he usually would because of whats happening to Jin Nasol.
After that he enters a fairly numb narration. Not completly devoid of emotion but mostly. Just him moving and doing what he needs to do.
Overall a very interesting chapter for Kim Soleum!

i wonder where they even source the researchers from
"so i'm telling you not to do anything dangerous and just stay put" ik KSE did listen to BSH last time but will he rly listen this time? i bet he wont if he thinks he'll be fine
"if you are not satisfied, you may leave." lmao. makes me wonder what would actl happen in HQ if the employees did quit after abyss transpo. i mean they did melt the freeloaders back then so who knows?
↳ WAIT A FUCKING MINUTE
must be rly efficient to recycle ppl cuz yk you could steal their money back. so even if you give everyone 30 million won each, it only circulates within the branch. damn this branch rly thought of everything.
hair loss medicine mention again 😭
"we're not taking some cancer-causing drug or walking into radiation without protection, are we?" much worse actually. so there's this thing called a beauty pill—
"i signed it under a pseudonym" can i just say that Part 3 KSE is a HUGE relief for ACTUALLY learning from his mistakes? part 2 and contracts goodness gracious.
↳ what name did Z999 sign under previously anyway? who tf is this guy?
99? no letters yet?
↳ (after reading) ah i see
😭 so this X bastard was a douche in the first place
ah so contaminated and mutated "instruments" are gone. so retaining "humanity" is just as important for the factory hm.
"the death rate won't be that high in the first place" probably for the average Daydream employee maybe?
see the last time KSE here cleaned a hallway, shit went down yk.
"it's not like this is kindergarten" ik the workers are reacting out of ignorance since ghost stories aren't common occurrence (+ bureau erases memories from survivors), but to think it'd be worse if they did get into a kindergarten darkness like hangman 😭
OH? LONG HAIR JNS AGAIN? i'll miss you bob cut JNS you're forever an icon
↳ huh. did they save the hair or does recycling rly return you to a selected state as long asyou have the minimum?
resort? hm?
"be back before sunrise" death alley type sh
yt shorts 😭
easier but moderate risk my foot. this is one grade higher than abyss transpo (d grade) 😭
↳ oh the grade is higher due to the random anomalies, otherwise it would probably survivable. not that it's reassuring.
exit 8 type situation 😭
he remembered cleaning in the security basement... we miss u PMS and J3
this mf with blood type A AND a Type A personality 😭
OH IT IS THE GOLDEN RESORT. NO WONDER BRAUN GAVE HIM THE GLOVE AND THE SILVER SNAKE. I KNEW HE WOULD STUMBLE INTO THE THEME PARK SOONER OR LATER 😭
↳ he lacks the Socius tattoo now tho. i wonder how the darkness would react this time?
↳ ↳ plus the darkness restrictions too—no going outside the bldg. i wonder how KSE would circumvent that?
reading this kind of KSE while personally being on the verge of losing it is rly comforting.
-
"if you're going to remake it anyway, it would have been more efficient to eliminate the pain as well" well it's not rly efficient to use more resources for that if ure not gonna hear the workers screaming so 😭
their responses to this pseudo ship of theseus situation !
↳ i'm not surprised JNS took it negatively with everything lately but i am rly worried for her. it would be hard for someone to take that positively at first, but this just further cements how "low" she has sunken after experiencing all the "highs" in her life (as a former merc and former elite)
↳ on the other hand, i'm rly rly rly glad KSE has learned to hold on to his sense of self rn. part 2 was rly crazy with his multiple bouts of existential crises, so to see him come to this is really great development.
↳ ↳ "that is because it is a problem i have thought about many times before" *sniffles* from trying to deny (and almost kill) the other versions of himself to accepting this recycled version of himself. i feel so parental.
JNS also learning from KSE 🥹
↳ im ngl seeing KSE witth BSH and JNS feels like watching a kindergarten sometimes...
so just 999 ppl at a time? what abt the remaining workers then since there were 1,237 workers in the report?
"there isn't even a number input field. should i smash it?" "wait" 😭 how was LJH the famous somewhat gag brute force character when i'm sure plenty of Daydream employees (not just JNS) wouldn't be as patient as KSE when it comes to stuff like this
"clean up" why does it keep getting worse with every attempt
↳ why are all the liquids scented anyway???
...this is a dire situation but KSE going "that big red button" when he's on the edge of losing it is so funny to me ngl
↳ kinda scary tho cuz red buttons could mean any big action yk.
mm so Custom 26... involves melting and "reloading from a save point"
↳ 13 * 2 or 13 + 13, that's all i got for wtv 26 means
↳ wtf did they do during the first 25 times then before they got to a suitable preset...
↳ hmm i was worried abt the memory wipe but basic recycling retains the person w/o addtl stuff. wtf is special then?
↳ what happens if goops mix... can that help with creating an "ideal worker"? what are the consequences?
↳ so the countdown is not for their "contracts" but for their expiration dates... dang...
↳ ...i can't even imagine how the first workers who were subjected to basic recycling even reacted...
they use primary colors for lights... like the theme park board game...
...do they actually promote their workers or is that another scam? i mean they sorta "reload" so they dont necessarily have to be promoted unless they still manage to maintain that performance even after reloading? idk
dang BSH was just waiting there.
↳ "have you read the manual?" "why?" "do you want to read it now?" type of sh your teacher says which subtly translates to "you didn't read the instructions properly" during an exam
↳ he didnt even read the procedures entirely 😭 omg BSH (i don't blame him at all since he couldn't have changed anything but the most important thing for anything in Daydream is a manual no? 😭)
"you shouldn't have dragged me into this in the first place!" this situation be looking like those romance dramas again
↳ "we can still give it a try" omfg i'm remembering that damned "try lang natin" + jopay trend from a few years back i rly can't with these two changing the genre 😭
we're getting speedrunning rookie (?) pro max now !
↳ "i'm going to achieve some ridiculous results over the next week" yeah!
↳ "now being invisible is meaning less" yeah!
↳ "rather than holding out for 30 days and dying, i'll bet" yeah!
↳ "if you can't escape, you just have to control it in reverse" y- that's definitely one solution ig.
↳ ↳ i am scared actually ! but sure let's go for a proper promotion and actually stay long in that position for once and not get sabotaged again !
omfg they updated the cover... i lowk expected this to happen at one point given that they censored the cover at first but ! i wonder if more will be revealed soon and we'll get answers to that suspicious cloth.

> I call them the.. uh... metamorphosis duo. Because caterpillars tend to become goop in the cocoon. (An experience they now share.. partially?)
> KSE really was like a butterfly in that damn flesh cocoon. Oh and JNS is melting too :[ , that accident really changed her personality fully eh?
shocking news—Namhae branch never intended to let go of the workers
"isn't it common sense to pay someone as per the contract?" ...with the poor working conditions in the branch, i'm surprised you'd assume they'd be ethical in the first place
"finding a new person every month is also costly" that's why HR suffers
↳ i'm surprised this trio thought the branch would be as sensible as HQ when it's been a whole mess since the first chapters...
anytime KSE mentions the word "being crushed" i get flashbacks to early part 2 with 130666
TOY? TOY MAKER? DID THEY SRSLY ADAPT THE CRI'S CREATION AGAIN TO CREATE THIS FACTORY?
↳ omfg LSH being a copy thru the toy maker is a higher possibility
↳ ↳ (after reading) erm, yeah.
KSE please not now
↳they died anyway. welp
i have doubts with the sticker removal.
...RAW MATERIALS?
goddamn another one way mirror
LSH?
i wonder if the liquid is similar to the organ darkness
"i must be careful" A BIT TOO LATE TO SAY THAT NO?
recycling...
...no...
...okay wow... memory manipulation was expected but they recycled the whole body? insane
↳ even more insane that it was right there. in their slogans. yet no one expected that.
↳ wait. also. IT'S BEEN AT LEAST 3.5 YEARS SINCE KSE LEFT?? CUZ JNS's SENSE OF TIME WAS MESSED UP? DAMN.
↳ WAIT IF THE ELDER WHO HELPED KSE IS HERE THEN IS THAT ORGAN DARKNESS CONNECTED TO THIS THING??
↳ ↳ edit: there was more than one elder so this could be a different guy. my bad.
↳ ...if Z999 was recycled, what would Z999/KSE even remember afterwards? since it restores to the point when they were hired...
↳ ↳ ...next question, how long has Z999 been in this branch?
