something i absolutely adore about orv's ending is how it ties in so perfectly with its overarching conflict between salvation and agency, as exemplified by kim dokja's tendency towards self sacrifice.

all throughout the novel there's this recurring theme of salvation as a double faced thing. a blessing. an imposition. noble and damning. selfless in how he takes their pain on his own shoulders, yet selfish in how he doesn't give them a choice. it doesn't matter if salvation isn't what they want, it doesn't matter if the pain of living on without him isn't worth the risk (or even the certainty) of dying together, HE makes that choice FOR them. in that sense salvation is cruel, a fundamental denial of agency.

the same goes for the companions actions after kdj becomes the new oldest dream, where the situation flips. they sacrifice everything for a chance to physically drag him out of that train carriage. but you can't force someone to love himself. you can just love them. and love them and love, love, love them, across a hundred universes, for a hudred years and one million words, lay all that love down at his feet and just hope that he sees it. that he steps off of that window sill on his own.

salvation in orv is so often an act of violence imposed on an unwilling other, to me it's just immensely significant how the epilogue strips it bare. where everyone else is powerless, and kim dokja's happy ending depends entirely on his own desire to finally see it.

Can you just imagine ORV from Kyrgios' POV?

Some random guy you've never even seen before shows up and starts acting all friendly and familiar. He acts like he knows you. He wants to be your disciple of all things. This guy is bizarre (and therefore intriguing) and so, begrudgingly, you agree.

Terrible student. Just awful. No talent at all. He doesn't have any spots to like. Why didn't you just kill him when he first showed up? Still, you have accepted him as your disciple and so you leave him to it for now. You will return to check on him later.

Your terrible, awful disciple has run away in the middle of the night! You will hunt him down and he will be sorry.

He has somehow stolen your technique!!!

But, amazingly, your terrible disciple actually manages to save your planet with the technique he stole from you. You decide not to punish him.

You see him leaving with the rest of his companions but graciously allow him to go for now because surely after some time to reflect he'll see the error of his ways and return to his master.

He does not return.

You go to find your terrible, thieving disciple so that you can punish him.

There are, strangely, multiple people claiming to be your disciple. You kill them. Where is your actual disciple?

You find him wounded and begging for death. He has been beaten up in a distant place and is now filled with shame claiming that he has defiled the name of Baekchung. You are a good teacher so you will not punish him after all and will instead look into the situation that has caused your prideful disciple to be in this state.

He has tricked you into fighting an outer god with your ex.

[ID: a short Omniscient Reader comic. Biyoo is laying on the floor, napping peacefully. Kim Dokja walks in her direction, only his foot visible. There's an insert showing that he's looking at his phone. Biyoo jerks awake when he trips over her, Dokja exclaiming "SHIT-" as he falls. Then Biyoo looks up at him with a watery betrayed expression. Her fur is sticking up messily now. Dokja says, "oh my god Biyoo im so sorry". /end ID]

kim dokja feels a kind of empathy for himself as a teenager but as a child he hates himself so much and I just.........I think again that he was born to be loved but in the end he was the one who hated himself more than anyone else

[ID: A short black and white Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint comic, starring Yoo Joonghyuk. From offscreen, somebody calls out, "Captain!" Joonghyuk looks up at them in acknowledgement with a question mark by his face. They continue to speak, "You count your regressions right?" He hums in affirmation. They continue, "Soo... what number is this one?"

Yoo Joonghyuk startles as he realizes that this is the 69th regression. This is visually shown by the background going black and a huge 69 loudly appearing above his head, an arrow pointing down at him. In the final panel he looks normal again. He looks away and sweats while he says, "...I can't recall." The same offscreen person yells "Captain!" despairingly. /end ID]
