If you slap a jester's hat on the monster in the closet it ceases to be scary but to itself, it will still be a monster. If Jeongguk opens his palms he closes them instantly because he doesn't like the ugliness he sees. The neon light leaks through his pores and he ceases to be bright.
Pain changes people. It certaintly changes Jeon Jeongguk.
Holy fuck was this relatable 😭 The ending is so hopeful and makes me both satisfied and hungry for more :,) The characterization of JKs self-hatred towards himself is so real. Def recommend giving this one a read!
