Why Jinwoo was late to Jeju

The original author recently posted about this in the community, so I’m sharing it lol

Shadows are basically all mute. Even Igris doesn’t start talking until waaaay later. The only way shadows could communicate with Jinwoo was through simple signals, and even that was a tough task for the early ones. They couldn’t process complex thoughts like, “Let me notify Jinwoo if the Korean team is in danger.” So the only way Jinwoo would notice something was wrong was if something major happened—like a soldier he assigned to guard someone suddenly engaging in a fight, or an auto-hunting shadow getting killed.

Jinwoo had attached shadows to the hunters and was watching the live broadcast, ready to move if needed. But since the broadcast wasn’t a true real-time feed and had a delay, he only realized the danger after it was already happening.
