#And yet this is the kid that cried when that SSS class took him away

Truly wild to me how Yoohyun sees other people. Like, it's stated a few times that Yoohyun doesn't care about anyone other than Yoojin. And we sort of get it from reading his occasional POV.

But I didn't really get it until they're talking about Yoojin dating, and Yoohyun goes "I'll only accept it if it's Peace." You know. THE HORNED FLAME LION. “It’s okay if my brother gets romantically involved with a lion.”

That's when I got it. To Han Yoohyun, other people are as alien to him as a monster. In fact, he identifies more with the monster, than other humans. To him, even though they speak the same language, and look the same, and were raised the same, they might as well be monsters. Or he's the monster.

But it makes his obsession with Yoojin so much more extreme. And puts so much else into context. We know he's more flame than person, but truly that was the moment it showed the most.
