this is where I think soowon parallels with yona. unlike him, yona has never had to suffer from the Crimson Illness; her experiences with the dragon gods’ powers have been positive, ultimately guiding her toward her true purpose rather than breeding resentment
I can’t stop thinking about how soowon and yona’s eye colours seem to mirror one another in those early official artwork. even if it was unintentional, it showed no matter where their paths lead or how far apart they drifted, they would never be entirely free of one another 😭
