“The light of countless constellations was shining towards him but none of them could reach Yoo Joonghyuk. No matter how many years they had lived, they couldn't understand the regressor who suffered the destruction of the world twice. The next moment, Yoo Joonghyuk heard a message.

“the theory behind the panopticon was that prisoners would behave as if they were being watched at all times — with the mere presence of the watchtower being as effective as iron bars in regulating behaviour and ensuring that everyone acted the same way.

“⸢For sure, Kim Dokja would've said something like "Yoosung-ah, listen. There's no 'weight' to sadness."⸥
