#how long it took him to start to the point even stw noticed. his odd holding back in the first opening disguised as teasing

[tyrantwombat]

There is a lot happening right now, but the authorial decision to relay this to the reader by putting Song Taewon, Han Yoojin, and Sung Hyunjae alone in a room together had to have been The most chaotic way to go about it.

Case and point: Song Taewon heard 'possibility of double suicide' and didn't think twice. Sung Hyunjae is lovingly feeding them personally baked goods while nearly actually vibrating with the desire to absolutely murder both of them. Han Yoojin - the man who walked into this building prepared to blow it up with a bomb as an expression of disgruntlement - is currently the acting voice of reason as he desperately tries to referee this shit with a gun.

Some highlights:

SHJ: I'm still trying to decide if I should kill you.

HYJ: *oh free juice!* Officer Song, sit down please, he said he's still thinking about it.

---

STW&SHJ: *very literary showdown scene, very dramatic**you who are better than I at stripping away the monster and swallowing it whole-* *pst use looting* *pst I got it*

HYJ, in background: *staring into camera like he's on the office are you seeing this shit*

--

HYJ: You know you could die, right?

STW: I'm fine with that.

HYJ: Of course you are.

---

HYJ: WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP NO ONE IS DYING THIS TIME

---

STW:

STW: why

STW:

STW: why is there a child?

---

HYJ: okay but hear me out...

HYJ: what if you could kill me?

#suicide tw #sctir spoilers #301-310 #reading sctir mtl i don't know what's happening #this chapter is actually pretty hard to understand but I think I got the gist well enough #a lot of serious things got covered that I'm not fully touching on yet (prereg stw and shj holy shit) #but I think I need more context or a better translation before I really want to dive into that #the humor on the other hand... #also shj in an apron and the constant feeding of whoever will take food from him as all this plays out like why are they like this #this definitely gives some horror movie vibes to shj interactions before this and after the dungeon though #his fight with stw? #how long it took him to start to the point even stw noticed. his odd holding back in the first opening disguised as teasing #(testing himself?) #how quickly he left mid-fight #increasingly drifting into the background while in Japan #dancing around being alone with yoojin or even focusing on him too much #like we knew something was off but not THIS off #man's self control is through the roof
