I feel the same way. I legit cry when I saw Sigure cut out his eyes, because I know what this mean, but everyone here doesn't seem to understand.
This is a man who suffer under slavery, war, the loss of his family, discrimination and disdain for his origin. He pretty much has every reason to turn his back on god and go rouge, but he persist in his faith and impose strict discipline on himself, in the single hope that he would see his family in heaven one day. But then the very people he trusted betrayed him and take his one hope away.
He now falls into despair and desperation so deep he’s cutting out body part to compensate.
At this point I want to shake Kyrie violently and ask him “ do you know what this has cost Sigure?!!!! Do you?!!! Do you?!!!
I wish the kids would go back to their Korean webtoons. I realize by the comments so far there is zero understanding of the beauty of this story. One’s person’s salvation is the other’s damnation at this point in chap3. Psychologically this could end up going in a few directions, which would be interesting to discuss, but that won’t be happening with this audience.
