#torfun

1. torfun’s death was as big of a scam as we all thought, but not because her death was purposeful.

i’ve been thinking that the accident wasn’t an accident, and that tian’s parents either purposely hit her or allowed her to die in hospital in order to get her heart. the latter makes more sense bc by then they’d be able to find out her private info (blood type etc) from the doctors that they’re such good friends with. but with the conspiracy that im discussing, i propose that torfun isn’t even dead to begin with. i dont buy anyone is dead until i see the body on a slab and even then im not likely to believe it dfhgjkfghlghkdj

the issue with this of course is that tian dreams of her (and phu) in hospital and we assume it’s because of having her heart. i don’t have an explanation for that, nor do i have one for tian seeing her face in the window the other time, but the idea that she’s still alive is essential to my next points.

what’s strange to me is that torfun’s aunt is like not necessary?? but one of her two scenes was on the phone yelling at torfun about not having money, to which torfun asks if she’s just going to blow it on gambling. THAT’S fascinating, because in my mind, i can see torfun being hit by the car and not dying, but rather being able to have her bills etc paid off by tian’s parents and (stay with me) uses the money they pay her off with to move somewhere else to get away from her shitty family. witness protection babey! far fetched? of course. but what else do u expect from me

2. phupha running into tian in bangkok.

now this has so far not been explained. in ep1, tian walks past phupha at the hotel or whatever it was where he was attending an event with tian’s parents. we can assume the event was full of people like tian’s parents aka wealthy, influential, and can basically do whatever they want bc of that. phupha is dressed nicely, and he almost seems like he’s not in too good a mood. by the direction he’s walking (toward tian) and the fact that tian was walking toward the party (and phu) just then, i want to say for a second that phupha in fact was at the event that tian was attending too.

if phupha was there, we have to ask why. he has no place among those people, UNLESS he is doing business of some kind with them. what if that business was either following up or being told that torfun isn’t dead after all?

3. phupha knows she isn’t dead.

i can only speak for funerals in the u.s., but most happen within the month of a person’s death. with that in mind, i will say that at the funeral phupha still believes torfun is dead for real. he expresses annoyance toward the fact that “everything can be settled with money,” which not only is a reference to his dislike for unnecessary extravagance (the way he was raised vs. the way tian was raised) but also implies that torfun’s family was paid off bc of the accident. he says also "i’ll never forgive the person who did this to her.” this all says to me that he thinks she’s dead. that means that some time after the funeral, he is for some reason informed that torfun is actually alive. he isn’t let in on the details, which are they faked documents saying that she donated her heart to make it all more believable that she’s dead. again, no idea why this would he’d be let in on any of this at all but shhh

so they don’t want to tell the villagers immediately bc it’s so new. but phupha finds out that she’s not dead after all, so when the rangers ask to tell the villagers after a couple weeks have passed, phu says that there’s no rush. like she’s dead and that won’t change lol ANYWAYS so they keep her ‘death’ a secret.

(side-note: one of the other things that majorly confuses me is the fact that, because phupha doesn’t tell the villagers about torfun’s death, none of them are able to go to the funeral. and i think thats bullshit. they all love her and its so obvious, and they didn’t even get to mourn at her funeral? why?? because he didnt want to make them sad?? bye)

now this is my favourite part of this theory (aside from torfun being alive bless) because it affects so many aspects of what we’ve seen on screen. any time torfun is mentioned, phupha becomes uncomfortable. because we as the audience believe her to be dead, we read his reactions as the grief at losing someone he cared for, on top of the secret he’s keeping about the death.

but WHAT IF it isn’t grief, is instead the discomfort that comes with hiding a big secret that you don’t want others to know. they ask where torfun is and he acts totally unsubtle every time lmaoo. on the cliff, when he asks tian’s relationship to torfun and why he has her badge, i can see that moment as phupha almost hoping that tian knows the truth, because that would mean he has someone he can confide in about all of it. so when tian says that he only found the badge in the cabin and doesn’t have a connection to torfun, phupha looks DISAPPOINTED. rewatch it and tell me he doesn’t look disappointed. he adjusts himself, accepting tian’s explanation, but he wanted it to be something else. he asks tian again in ep7 about their connection and “is there something you want to tell me” like bitch thats rich coming from u but he needs to sus out what tian knows before he can expose torfun ugh the drama

4. dr nam knows too.

i think phupha told at least nam about torfun escaping her life because nam usually refers to torfun in present tense and he mentions her so casually to tian and others considering she’s supposed to have been hit by an entire vehicle and dead ass. his behaviour in episode 7 really threw me off, but when i considered it in tandem with this theory, it made more sense.

he knows that torfun’s ‘death’ was paid off by teerayuth sophaditsakul, and once he finds out tian’s surname is the same, he connects the dots that tian is actually related to him. with this information, nam is upset bc he knows the damage teerayuth caused and is afraid for phupha to get caught back up with that family, which is why he doesn’t talk first with tian. (he starts to, then stops. inchresting)

it’s also interesting bc at the end when nam allegedly tells phu over walkie talkie, we don’t have audio there. we only can assume it’s nam talking and exposing tian bc phu’s face drops. if phupha knows torfun isn’t dead, yet the son of the man who paid her off supposedly has her heart..??? what the hell?? he’d be mad confused! and imagine episode 8 when tian stands up and is like I KILLED HER. HER HEART IS IN ME. phupha’s gonna be like what in the GOD damn hell is happening here; bc last he knew torfun is alive, and tian is taking the blame for something that is in no way the truth.
