I agree. He appears out of nowhere and then disappears and no one questions it.
I really want to know what happened to him.
Also…I wonder if, had the friends been more concerned with his disappearance and not going “it is what it is” when he poofed, maybe Yang zhiming wouldn’t have escalated to the point that he did cause he could’ve shared the coo coo together. Only he had the coo coo and add on the frustration of how no one else cared about it enough cause they “gave up” in his pov. The snowball becomes bigger and bigger.
I also realized that most of the story’s lore is speculation from the characters not really confirmed in the story, but that can be due to the adaptation from the novel.
I shall go seek for the novel now to seek my own conclusions or else this will be my late night thoughts that keep me awake randomly in 5 years.
It's a nice story but I still have a question left to be answered.
Q) We all knows that yang zhiming did all of that to get revenge on his dad's killer and for making his life miserable but what about wenlin? That man went missing for what?
