Looking back at the first chapters, I think Mugyeong might survive. He says, “I still remember…” and “… at my youth’s edge…” Since he’s currently still at his youth’s edge, the beginning seems like a reflection of an older person.
Will it be Mugyeong dying an old man and reflecting? Or maybe just a few years ahead, living the life of a refugee with a new start? Or will he be touching or picking up a cherry blossom; elderly, sitting on a bench, wrapped in a blanket, and looking up into a Sakura tree like how he started out?
If so, it might read backwards, ending with something like: “Perhaps I’ll meet him again, in another life…” “… the boy with a picturesque face…” “… The boy I learned to love.”
