There are many small details about the series that have such significance, the example I want to focus on is that Gi-Hun didn't know that Sang-Woo was suicidal.
It's interesting to think how different his approach would be if he had known; although he would still be angry at him for his way to achieve things, he wouldn't see him as a money-hungry individual, but rather a desperate one who would do anything to make amends to his mistakes, even taking his own life. Very different from Gi-Hun, who would give up his comfort and ability to fix his own mistakes as long as their loved ones lived.
Certainly, the thought of Sang-Woo committing suicide didn't go thru his head, especially when he DID try to reach his hand. Just like him, he wanted to go home, but for him, for his situation, it wasn't a possibility.
I think that was the point that truly traumatized Gi-Hun. He didn't know anyone there really, their situation nor their values, just his childhood best friend. Someone he grew up with and considered family.
He saw someone he admire become a stranger, someone to fear and hate. But he knew that wasn't him. And when he saw how the boy that used to play with him sacrificed himself to ensure Gi-Hun financial stability, only asking for his mom wellbeing in exchange, that's when it sealed the realization he had about the games; how it preyed for people's desperation, they were just another victim out of the 456 players.
"A Child’s View from Gaza" was an art exhibition showcasing drawings created by the children of Gaza.
"The captioned illustrations were created by Palestinian children who lived through the Israeli bombardment of Gaza in 2008-09. The pictures were drawn as part of an effort to help children deal with the horrors they had experienced. A Bay Area nonprofit, Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), arranged to display a collection of these pictures at the Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland, California. However, under pressure from the Jewish Federation of the East Bay and other organizations, the museum backed out of the agreement at the last minute."
“why does this married man keep following me around like a lost puppy with his puppy dog eyes?🤔”
— Gi-hun, probably
I mean… come on, In-ho 😭
Tech girlies, remember one of the galaxy’s cardinal rules: NO BODY, NO DEATH. Just because Tech wasn’t CX-2 doesn’t mean he’s dead dead. Echo, Maul, even Admiral Trench - the best dead boys didn’t stay dead. Keep the hope alive! Especially if a new clone show happens. Never forget “domicile”!
When you call me a stupid hor just know that this is who you’re talking to
