Please don't say he's searching for her.
Please say she's not the "first love" he's searching for...
Please bffr...
I went back to Ch 4, and I would like to think the reason he put his sword away when he saw her was because he "finally found her". This look could almost be a shock of recognition, and not just 'menacing glare'. https://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/the_armored_prince_s_awkward_love/uu/to_chapter-4/pg-13/
Prob not, But this is me just trying to not be majorly disappointed by such a shitty trope taking over what is otherwise a pretty interesting story.
Call me delulu, but Guwon ain't do that shit. Someone snuck in and was about to pillage the place, and Guwon came in and offed them. He ain't kill Teach's dad. I swear Jinwoo did that shit himself in self defense, if anything.
Ch 1, Jinwoo's head and leg were bandaged up. I think Dad broke his leg to incapacitate him. Picture of his family: only Dad's face is ruined and it's also the source of the cracks. Symbolism
Ch 2, Jinwoo PTSD he blanked out and tried to kill Guwon with a knife. How tf he get the knife? Sleepwalking?
Ch 3, Jinwoo knows a lot about wheelchairs because his mom "had trouble walking". That cracked family picture is shown again when mentioning: *She insisted she didn't need a wheelchair*, but his dad would bring it out anyway. Then flashback of his Dad about to whack him up, then his memory cuts out and he has a serious panic attack.
Ch 8, growing up he used to secretly watch action shows and violent MMA wishing he was strong so he could protect his loved ones.
Ch 9, growing up, the ppl around him were often struggling with illness. He spent many nights going to the emergency room (hospital).
Ch 14, (speculation) his self-concious thinking the ppl around him will get hurt because he failed to see Guwon's nature, much like his mom was hurt bc he failed to see his Dad's nature.
Ch 22, Jinwoo blanked out again, choking Guwon
Jinwoo is more than capable of killing his own father, but he's starting to imagine Guwon did it because the experience was so traumatic his mind erased it in order to cope. Take the suggestion that Guwon killed Doc's family, and Jinwoo substitutes that as *his own* reality. That makes it easier on his now fragile mind to cope with and fill in that blank.
