#eyo cycle of pain repeats clap your hands!!

In celebration of the Dark Castle arc in the webtoon I'd like to comment dreamily that the fate Kim Dokja suffers is not just in the Dark Castle, it is his fate as a whole. He dies due to the story (and the person) he loves the most both literally, with his sword in his chest, and sacrificially, as he slowly fragments himself as the Oldest Dream and loses himself to both doom and save that one he loves. Oh and also at the end of that road, Yoo Joonghyuk cut apart those last fragments, staining his sword with a black smudge, so it's also a literal death again at the last, though one could argue it would have happened even without that.

As Mass Producer says, true fate is not so shallow a thing that a temporary death like what he suffers in the Dark Castle could be enough to resolve it

#orv #orv spoilers #sighs at the narrarive foreshadowing #i had forgotten about it by the time he became OD but rereading slapped me in the face with it like a cold fish #and both times yjh didn't want it!!! though admittedly the first time he was capable of doing it because he trusted kdj wouldnt be rly gone #the second time he actually didnt do anything #but even if it wasnt his action or choice it was still due to his existence that kdj chooses to doom himself #eyo cycle of pain repeats clap your hands!!
