Hey, what if we’ve been totally wrong about this from the start?
We see Guwon kill someone in chapter 1, yeah. But he’s never said he killed Teach’s dad. When Teach straight-up accuses him, Guwon just denies it — calm, sure of himself — like he knows exactly what he did and didn’t do.
What if Teach’s whole hate and obsession is just him trying to avoid facing something way worse? Like, what if he’s actually the one who killed his dad?(like some of you think ) Maybe by accident, maybe in a moment he can’t remember clearly, and Guwon just happened to witness it all?
That’d explain why Guwon stays quiet — not because he’s scared, but because it’s not his place to break that kind of truth to Teach. Teach has to deal with it himself, no matter how much it would mess him up.
Imagine if one day Guwon looks Teach in the eye and says,
“I saw you.”
That would blow everything apart.

Guwon kind of gives off Violet Evergarden vibes — but if Violet had been raised in a cage, taught nothing, and left to figure out morality on her own. He doesn’t know what’s right or wrong — he just imitates what seems ‘good.’ When Teach tells him that killing the father wasn’t okay, Guwon literally breaks down. He repeats the question over and over like a kid who didn’t realize he hurt someone until it was too late. He doesn’t argue, doesn’t get angry — he glitches. He just wants to understand.
And that’s what makes his bond with Teach so intense. Teach is scared — but he doesn’t back down. He tells him the truth, violently even. And Guwon respects that. He says it himself: ‘he’s not like the others.’ Not because Teach is kind — but because he dares to confront him.
But then, there’s the doctor. And the town. The whole peaceful village thing? It’s a lie. A controlled environment designed to keep Guwon in check. They dressed it up as safety, but it’s just a prettier kind of cage. Guwon was never free — he was being handled. Observed. Softly manipulated into staying put, thinking he had a purpose.
And now that he’s changing, they’re scared. The doctor knows Guwon is slipping — and he’s planning to use Teach next. Not because he cares about Guwon’s well-being, but because he needs a leash strong enough to keep him tame.
So no — Guwon isn’t just a tragic character. He’s a ticking time bomb with a heart that’s just barely starting to beat. And the people around him? They’re not ready for what happens when he finally feels everything they’ve tried to suppress.
Ain’t no way i was so invested for this ending
