Like in women psychopath usually will look to have such bond with men who also psychopath...so OBY could be a psychopath too now?

A psychopath indeed can identify another psychopath...

But well I could be just wrong as some.of my guesses...lol.

If it's a transplant then it's not BR at all...because the personality and the memory belong to the donor...if it was YH then BR practically like a casing for YH's personality and memory...which is also impossible bevause BR still have his own memory...

And but confuaing thing ia they siad his frontal and temporal lobes are severely damaged....frontal lobe is the largest lobe of the brain, and he doesn't even affected physically by the damage.

So yeah we are left with option that BR was hiding behind a mask all the time before the brain injury....but then you can't explain he still have it all after his brain injury....they literally doing more than once surgery on him...so no...after such severe injury it is very little chance for you to retains those abilities that your frontal lobe and temporal lobes were responsible for....

Another possibility is due to the damage...he has personality changed...but still it can't explain the intelligence and physical skills....you really can't just keep some and losing some like cherry picking what to retain and what to lose with brain injury....

It is a misconception that psychopath couldn't feel emphathy at all. They just have a reduced ability to emphatisize with others...but they can learn to understand what empathy is if they want to...while many holds to the notion they lack empathy, some scientist have differenf opinion that they don't lack empathy rather they have a "switch" to turn it off and on...and by default it is turned off. They in and under certain specific conditions might be able to feel empathy...but it's like other emotions they have...have different threshold than common people. And the so called mirror neurons people keep mentioning here...actually what enables them to mimic emotions they couldn't register well. They can understand emotions shown by others and able to mimic them maybe way better and that including empathy....

And well brain is a complicated thing....but damage to frontal and temporal lobes could indeed makes a person have personality change, trouble with memories...BR shown that too...so yea it could be that now he's changed and could feel empathy and maybe even remorse and guilt...you'll always be amazed by how amazing your brain is...it's ability to endure and survive...you'll always be surprised....that's why brain transplant or implant actually not really necessary. But the problem now is it is just not right to see someone have severe damage to frontal and temporal lobe cam function wat too well like it never happened to his brain...he even have gained intelligence and physical skills of kicking and punching...idk could they be the side effects too?

We are made to have all the guesses only to be surprised....but hopefully those are surprises that make sense.....

Really the scenario writer mentioned it? Mirror neurons? Phychopaths have reduxed ability to emphatisized with others yes, but that doen't make them unable to mimic it...and guess who responsible for that...the so called mirror neurons...it's complicated when it comes to our brain yes...but mirror neurons are not just one factor that make a psychopath doesn't feel certains emotions....brain is a large complicated organ...how can the writer focusing on one mirror neurons...

Im not saying he's not the killer...all I'm trying to say is there are effects of brain injury...physically and emotionally or mentally. And there are also after surgery effects once brain surgery is done...and the one said by the doctors who examine and do the surgeries said BR's frontal and temporal lobes are severely damaged....frontal lobe is the largest part of brain...and it responsible for myriad of functions...but BR almost perfectly fine like nothing has ever happened to his brain...perfectly fine...but strangely he gains intelligece, he has strong sense of smell now, and he even gain some physical ability of kick and punch...these are not side effects of brain injury especially when the damage done in frontal lobe....
How can he show no characteristic of person who experienced severe brain injury and undergo several surgeries?

How can the side effects like selective...it is true that a person can have a changed personality after having brain injury, but with time...the.person can indeed learn to adapt to new situations and even recover...but for sever brain injury it's just complicated. And another thing is that memory thing...nothing at all affect his physical state...that's truly weird....even for a sci-fi.

So my point is...the writer must have a beliefabke ground when she ventures into doing something to someone's brain just to make that person could feel remorse and guilt...it's very complicated but since she ventures into it she must have a really strong ground to make her science fiction work for viewers...even it is a fiction...at least you make a good and believeable one.

BR could be a killer but he might not be a serial killer...or he might not be a murderer at all...for now all options open...that's itself actually a good thing for the drama...because it makes people wonder and think and then be like surprised!!!!

But really I can't believe it the scenario writer will go with mirror neurons are what lack in a psychopath? Without those neurons they can't function...not just them but all of us...oh my....wonder?!

Yep of all them he at least a genuine character....he doesn't hide things, he doesn't fake things, he just go straighforward unabashed kicking ass man....

I feel sad for him and could relate to all his anger and sadness, his frustration...but also his perserverance...he's your genuine human being with all his shortcomings......

Then the writer must have a brilliant way to make it a believable story as to how BR will get to know what it feels to feel guilt and remorse affer his frontal and temporal lobe severy damaged. The surgeries performed on him by the doctors where not to fix him but to prevent further damage...you see both frontal and temporal lobes are the ones responsible in making what we are...our personality...our physical, emotional, intelligent ability all have to do with the two areas of the brain.....

Yes brain has that amazing ability to adapt itsef to change by having other parts to take over and make up for the damaged parts...(that is why a blind person might have a very good hearing or other more developed sense...shows the ability of brain to make up for a
damaged function) and brain also has the ability to heal and recover itself even it takes time...now BR has both damaged....

The fact that BR can function pretty much like nothing happened to his brain...is already strange....like the only effect he got is his memory is messed up and he now dislike his then favorite dish due to now he has sensitive sense of smell? And that he out of nowhere be able to do some kick and punch, and intelligent somehow? But that doesn't look like someone with brain injury at all....no effect at all on his physics while we're talking about the largest part of brain here being damaged severely....

When he woke up from his coma, it showed that he could have effect from brain surgery....like yeah it could be a side effect from his severe brain injury too...that he heard bird chirping and it's a nuisance...and he unconscioualy went to "stop" the noise.. it explains why he can't remember doing it....

And how can someone maintain his old self and have another new personality...he still nice and all....just all those memories keep kick in in his head...it's just not possible....

He can still see well, speak well,function well...understsnd well and now even gain intelligence...as side effect of brain surgery due to severe damage of his brain.....


Writer must be able to have believeable explanationa for all that....like no he can't be having it all just because the writer wants him to be able to feel remorse...see you can't have your cake and eat it too...

You mean the priest brother of Ko Moo Chi? I wrongfully suspected him once...but it he isn't a murderer.

Well, it is common misunderstanding to think that psychopath dont' have emotions, the fact is they do have emotions, some of....they can feel joy, happines, excitement, disgust, even anger though their threshold is higher than most of us, but they do can feel those emotions ...indeed they lack when it comes to feel emphaty, remorse, regret, sadness, anxiety, and fear, but to say they don't have emotions at all is incorrect.

The don't lack in mirror neurons, but they have reduced startle response (lack of anxiety and fear), which make them a more calm in a frightening situation or when facing with danger or in dealing with threats.

Actually if any, mirror neurons (mirror system) are what makes them able to mimic every emotion they couldn't to deceive others. What enables them to observe and to copy what others do and express. It helps them "hide" themselves in society.

The term is cognitive emotions, they indeed able to understand those feelings in others, what others experience, maybe even enjoying watching/observing others expressing their pain, sadness, fear, etc..but they just don't register to the actual feelings others show...but they can mimic it all if they think it is necessary to do so.

And it is also incorrect to say psychopath can't feel both physical and emotional pain, they can...for emotional pain, they just experience it differently than common people. And it might triggers others "bad" traits in them.

We are told that BR has his frontal and temporal lobe damaged. Both are very important parts of brain. So yes he must ondergo some surgeries to prevent further damage. And if the writer going on with sci-fi, with possible brain transplantation, she must be able to provide believable "scientific" grounds for that, to solve that what's in real science can't be done, something viewers can't at least comprehend even it is a fiction.

Dr.Lee for example provide his "reason" on his genetic research, about the whole DNA thing, he even used real notorious criminals as example to make his point in the "lecture" he gave. So if there's brain transplant or implant thing, at least we will be presented with something explainable.

Now, there's possibility indeed that HH did one of the last surgery on BR by the preview of next episode, but we can't be sure either. Because how BY is sure that HH was the one who did the surgery, it must be a secret one, well she could sneak up and hide somewhere, but then again, how she's sure it was the man?she's not even in the surgery room and we are yet to see if she saw him got out of the operation room either. When she told BR, she only mentioned other there were two men coming into YH's room. In the strange thing is, when HJ was looking at YH from afar there were guards there. Yes the guards were dealing with the kidnapped mother...but like are they the only persons to handle the situation? And not coming back to the room for how long for BY to came in and tried to murder YH and then the two men to came in after her have a talk there, and BY practically get out of there. This is what my problems...i mean BY could do the sneaking conveniently like the guards aren't there for like as long as time BY need to do whatever....and then the same also with HJ, she could basically entering evidence room like easily, like she's not a police at all. We see BR needs to remember the pass he seen KMC when he opened the door...it's like...i really can't believe this....this tike convenient...if BR is a killer...he basically a very time efficient killer who not just be able to pull off a kidnap, pretending helping out with the live broadcast, being in the studio, and to police station, here and there, and even managed to calmly making calls and even live broadcasting murder, then go on to fight BY, then ran away and managed to get to the scene looking just fine. It's too unbelievable a story, except he has a cohort.

If HH indeed doing the surgery, if this is a sci-fi, then he must done some procedure on BR's brain, could be implant. When we see HJ went to the place that looked like a clinic or a lab, it was the place the woman from the first ep was taken to...and that's where HH ordered her to tie the girl. It seems that before getting caught, HH was conducting his own research/experiments with the brain. And he might use some of his victims as his lab rats...that's why the victims were headless...he might very well keep them as his "trophy". But then it is also very unlikely for someone who's been 20 years in jail to do such a complex surgery on a man's brain....even he practiced alot with mices in jail, he might have read alot too to keep update on the development in medical science, still when you're out of the business for 20 years you can't be said to be the best neurosurgeon "Korea" could ever have up to now (in this fiction). Mice brains are not as big and complex as human's and his skill alone can't do with such surgery...remember if this is a sci-fi, then to have such a sophisticated surgery, he will need a sophisticated technology support as well.

Not to mention it's become cliche at one point...like a corrupt government involved in making secret deal with a notorious prisoner in exchange for political gains..and how in the world the writer think the Korean people are? For them to just accept the fact a serial murderer is freed because he saved a life...hell even before being caught that man was saving lives too in hospital...but that's not stopping him from brutally murdering humans in the snowy nights. Like family's victims have just to suck it all up? Like even if the writer wants to make a murderer feel remorse here, but she couldn't do that at the cost of the suffering hearts of other human beings...that will be absurd thing to do.....and it will be very disappointing.

So I hope the writer will not disappoint us in that....

And why everyone just focusing on BR to be one who if proven to be a serial murderer to be the one to feel remorse and guilt? How about HH as the main villain here? What the writer has in mind for him?

If this is about making BR a changed man..who will feel remorse?so what will be his end? Jail time or how will he atone for his past sins (if that's the case, he was a serial murderer before the surgery).

Interestingly we are presented with a scene of a black rat snake and a mouse at ep 1. A little dare devil mouse which bite its natural predator...the black rat snake.
Now at ep 8, we get to see the girl, chrusing the mouse to death telling the little boy, that if he keeps the mouse, he will end up like the snake. That's interesting....like she's telling him, positioning him equally with the snake...while snake is its natural predator, the boy is the hands that fed that mouse...she's telling him, that mouse isn't natural...if it can bite its natural predator, then it will one day will bite the hands that fed it. Who's BR in that? Is he a mouse or a predator? And how about the girl?she suddenly appear and did all that as if she's watching the whole scene of mouse and snake in the cage. Is she a mouse too or a predator?or she'll be the one to destroy the mouse?
I mean this is not just about lab rat .... a lab rat couldn't feel a thing but being endless object of experiment...it will have no free will, no free choice to make, it will always be what the people who experimented on it intended it to be. And it will cease to be natural and if that's the case...how can a serial murderer whose wish is to have heirs like him and who might be experimenting on it too also now to make a reverse? It's unlikely. A psychopath has confident like no other person, ruthless and arrogant...how can the someone will guarantee he'll behave himself? How to appease the masses and ensure their safety? Will HH will want to face public humiliation on his character? And let him just have his peace and maybe doing some experiments on psychopaths?unlikely....even this is a sci-fi it still needs some lines to follow...

TBH it will be very disappointing if writer will go that direction, but we still need to see it in the coming episodes...

I'm 50:50 for BR to be a pyschopath killer awakend his genius side.

He still psychopath but no longer a murderer because something jusf happened to his brain die to traumatic brain injury. One side effect of damage on frontal and temporal lobe is personality change...so it fits BR condition now.

But we still don't know what about all those memories...they could be artificial/fake/false memories..mor they could be supressed memories that coming back randomly...or yes, he's being implanted with selected memories...(because it is juat impossible to transplant a brain but then the person still maintain his own memory...logically with brain transplant...is the memory is all the donor's memory...even the personality...because yes...frontal and temporal lobe take parts in shaping one's personality. So the option left is implant...a chip with selected memories or a devise that will "poke" certain neuron cells on the temporal and frontal lobe, and so on...


As there's 12 episodes to go...we still have time to see how the writer will twist things up and where she will lead us with her script....

Agree with you, I also made the same comment on point no.2, when the kidnapping happened, BR was still in hospital, he was hit by a car, and except the doctor who examine and put the cast on his leg was his cohort who lied about his leg, then he couldn't be that time efficient if he's the kidnapper and a killer at the same time. Even if the hospital and the park where the kid was kiddaped from are in close range, someone must have noticed it when you're not being in your room for quite awhile.

And how he manage to kidnap another child to make the video confronting the two in within the whole ordeal.

We also see he was at the police station informing KMc about the usb content, within those minutes in life broadcast the killer called with his murdering KMC's bro in live broadcast...how he could pull it all off in just short of time period.

He was hit by a car, jumping on a running bike but those things not affecting him physically? Then he could even fight skillfully with OBY...it's like wow not just he's a time efficient killer, he's also physically invincible.

And if anyone notice it, YH was there too at that church, BR smell his mint aroma but couldn'r see him in the crowd, but we are shown YJ was there. I mean what he's doing there looking all suspicious? It's will be a big hole in the drama if YH is killed off the drama leaving all his suspicious presense unexplained. So though we are shown that YH's mom spreading his ashes on the sea, I think YH might be still alive somewhere (body switch before the cremation), or he's indeed dead but we'll see a back to back story of him to explain more about him, what he did, and why he did all that.

And one frustrating character is SJE, YH's mom. It's like what's really happened with her and JH. Why she's keep having that memory of JH, and if JH isn't YH and what she did?how now YH is her son? She didn't even bother to tell anyone about it, not even a hint...not even on the paper that KMC's got to look at. Like on the paper it's only her and her son YH, so if YH isn't JH (we assume JH is her son because she had all that flashback of her trying to choke JH to death), then who is YH?how he ended up as SJE's only son?

But we are presented with BR's family around him, his aunt and uncle, who seemed to be a decent people. And they must have been taking care of him since his parents death. So, if BR is JH and real HSJ's son, what the connection between HSJ or SJE with BR's aunt and uncle.

It's just ep 8 but you've been bombarded not just with twists but also so many unexplained characters, from YH, SJE, HSJ, that mayor lady, OBY's grany's death, unsolved cross killer main character, like it's too many already...and the reveal process is just too slow in pace .Yes we still in ep 8, i know...there are 12 more for to come

So let's just see how things unfolded....

He was high on med, and he was vague about it.. it could be a false memory you know, because he was underpressure to remember thing he couldn't. He told DS he was seeing a deer stand in front of the car then he simply said she was lying there being ran over...imo he ran over her dead body. She could have been hit by JW's dad though judging by the preview of next episode. That explains the forensic result that she was run over again and again.

JJ didn't abandon her body, he called for his mom, who then called the chairman....he was having a break down over it.....his mom and that chairman who tried to cover it up for him.

The crazy part is they let her body to be taken care by that crazy JM.

But we don't know for sure now, if there will be another twist...

One thing for sure, it is indeed beyond evil what they have done to her....and I hate it so much that the writer gave an easy way out for JM, like he died without ever being held accountable for things he did...he died just too easy....ugh....

Hopefully the rest of them who did those evil things to her will have the wors end possible...not death but living a hell of a life grinding their teeth in agony for a loong long time. I know it's impossible but yeah if I'm DS i will send them to hell and back over and over again...

I just hope the twists are worthy our comprehension.

If they're goinh to pardon a serial killer, I think there's more than just saving one's life.

Either some one/some people in the higher ups are making secret deals with HH. Or there's something involving blackmail, secret experiments and all...whenever the government/corrup government involved things always getting worse...

Anyway it's indeed absurd thing to do...remember when the mayor lady was watching the tv about current government approval rating plummeted?logically they won't take such a risk, or will they?

It is memory implant...not brain implant.

The researcher used a tool calles optogenetics. It can alter a memory or create a false memory by shining lights on neurons. And yes, it's done on mice...well if we go sci-fi on that, then we didn't see them using optogenetics...an implant is unorganic tool, device, material being planted or inserted into an organ...we don't see it...the thing with optogenetics is it shines....it produce lights...

BR was just asking HSJ if he implanted YH's brain to him...because he's confusing with all those memories and also frustrated knowing that a serial killer doing a surgery on him...we don't know yet what's HSJ response to that....

Those unfamiliar memories could be false memories (false memories also can be done using psychological method anyway) or those are suppressed memories...

But that also doesn't mean thar HSJ didn't do something with his brain...he might be experimenting with his victims brains...not all of them but some...CHJ might know something about it....

Lol yea many thinks like that...but that's the one that makes no sense....BR not only has his frontal lobe damaged but also his temporal lobe...samage to either one of them could cause personality change...now both of his were damged....

Our brain is an amazing organ you know, it has the ability to adapt, to change and even to heal itself when experiencing injuries....surgery is juat to prevent further damage...but our brain has the ability to change...it's for survival imo.....

So there's no way YH'a brain being transplanted to BR....because if that'a the case his memory will be only YH's memories...but BR still have his own...and we saw YH dead without sign of head surgery.

Could it be that HSJ actually had his own experiment? Like Dr.Lee was working with genetic research and experiments in order to identify a psychopath from the womb.

And HSJ was doing research and experiments with brain? Remember CHJ went to the place that looked like a lab? She took a cassette with some reference code on it which loom similar to the code written on the hand of the girl who CHJ lures to be assaulted by HSJ. And in her own flashback, the girl was brought there and HSJ ordered her to tie her. (I wonder also if HSJ was trying to hid the fact about the knot, he knew exactly who made that knot but he said nothing to BR when he asked him about it). And then the lady Mayor got the package of a cassette. Why CHJ sent that to her?

I think HSJ was experimenting with the brain of his victims? Or with some of them, we still don't know yet the real situation with CHJ relationship with HSJ (were they still connected or not?) She went to the place right after she watched YH from a far and said in her mind that she pittied him because of his suffering become the son of the murderer (so she believed it too that YH was HSJ's son) and that she thought they both are the same (she's also suffering from things she did as a child)....bla bla and in the end the strange thing she said...this is the best I can do for you...then she went to that old abandoned lab.

Could it be that CHJ blackmailing the lady Mayor? Thar she knew something thar relates the lady mayor and HSJ through those cassettes...could it be those cassettes are recording of HSJ experiments? She definitely know things that she keeps for herself...and we also don't know what's her true intentions...is she also wanted to seek revenge on HSJ?

The party of the ruling president could be using the "opportunity" to help raise their approval rating by saving BR's life at all cost? Or some of them have connetion with HSJ that we are yet to know? I guess it is possible that someone is abusing his/her power to make a deal with HSJ secretly...

And we also still don't know why HSJ using a child as bait...

this drama could be about making HSJ fo feel remorse as he's rhe antagonist here. He's the notorious serial killer after all....I could be wrong though....

Fyi frontal lobe damage could resulted in change of personality. And in severe damage, the change could be totally different from the original personality.

Lol of course BR got those brain surgeries, his frontal lobe is severy fractured damaged. YH must be very precise when hitting him that night to make sure that those important areas of brain damaged.

What I think many found problematic is if writer ventures to brain transplant thing....
BR was seen asking HSJ if he had implanted YH's brain in him...that's just a question he asked out of frustration and confusion of the flood of memory...because he think HSJ was the one doing the surgery on him. So it's just natural for him asking such question to HSJ in person.

On thing for sure, if the writer ventures on science fiction - with brain transplant or wharever....she should be able to explain it to viewers why it is reasonable to accept the idea a dead person's brain (means a dead brain) can be transplanted into someone else's head.

So there must be another reasonable explanation we are yet to know.

We haven't see it yet how it will play out...it is too far-fetched for writer to turn this into brain transplant thing.....if you watch it carefully...BR didn't even say transplant...he said implant....and that's two different thing altogether....

Well if...this is a big if the writer venturing into sci-fi after all, going with brain transplant idea indeed may seem to fit the story line. So what about Dr.Lee's research?oh there are pregnant women being tested for psychopathic genetic and at least two of them are known to have psychopathic genetics. Which means both if them have high possibility to grow to be psychopathic murderer? Since they both can't be aborted, what Dr.Lee and his research doing in following up that results? Knowing that what the government do? Like seriously they just stop it at that. While as a neuroscientist Dr.Lee must have known that unique interaction of environment and genes, how the role of nature and nurture on genes. And it is important to taken those into account in early years of life of a child. Children upbringing and environment is important factor that affects the genes in preparing a child behavior as a means survival in life environment. So why Dr.Lee just stop there with the test result knowing full well that they could become psychopathic killers...in which his proposal is trying to prevent....is somehow strange...it only means the writer when jumping into science fiction has not done her research well on the issues.

Even it is absurd it fits writer storyline though...because her motive is to make or to have a serial killer and his journey to the realm of emotions. So her only solution is throuh brain transplant. Even so, she must have understand how brain works very well to in order to make her storyline explainable, at the very least.

Well the mirror neurons have nothing to do with pyschopathic behaviour at all, any normal people must have it because it enables us to act and to observe other people actions, it helps infants to be able to understand other people actions...that's why you can see a baby can mimick your movements, by observing. Now, defects in these neurons is linked to disorder like autism. And when it damaged in adult, means you will not lose your ability to responds to actions by others and to observe those actions....and these neurons not just responsible for mimicking, they responsible for many sophisticated human behaviors and thought process. Psychopath and normal people need these mirror neurons in order to understand actions and to actions....if anything to relate these neurons to psychopath then it is their brain can make a good use of these neurons to help them mimicking other people gestures and actions....not having it means they in no way can function well. So psychopath needed them as much as normal people need them.

And these mirror neurons have nothing to do with killing instinct at all.


Frontal lobe is not responsible for killer instinct.
Because frontal lobe responsible for thinking, reasoning, decision-making, and planning. It allow us to think and process our emotions, you can then manage these emotion and determine a logical response.

The one responsible for that is our amygdala at the end of our temporal lobe that is part of our brain's limbic system. It controls rage, anxiety, fear, aggression, eating, drinking, sexuality, predatory behavior - what we might called our animal instincts. This is where our emotions afe given meaning, remembered,

In normal brain though, there's integration of "thinking" and "emotion" brain. These parts of brain inhibit each other in balanced brain. So both must be turned on. If one is turned off, the there will be imbalance. And if both are down then it is associated with psychopath.

So in this case psychopath have problems with both.

In the drama, the doctors said that BR's frontal lobe and temporal lobe are both damages, so that means he will have both partial transplants. To make him someone who can feel regrets he needs that frontal lobe transplant, and then he will also need temporal lobe transplant since it's damaged too.

So even if he has killer instinct since it's not his brain, it's YH's then it's YH's killer instinct not BR. And if he'll be able to feel remorse too then it's YH not BR, because these specific parts of brain in your frontal and temporal lobes are what 'ID-ed" a person...that help build one's personality.

And if it is YH's temporal lobe, why BR still maintain his old memory and strange thing is the memory's from YH temporal lobe are selected memories...these couldn't be happening.

So BR must have balanced brain to make him feeling remorse...means his amygdala should be inhibited by orbital cortex (area of frontal lobe that controls impulsity and our sense of ethich and morality...


Amygdala equipped us witj automatic response to physical danger for example, but orbital cortex gives you controlled response to whatever released by amygdala. For BR to be able to feel remorse and stuff, he needed balanced brain.

Now since BR still maintain all his memories while it is said that his temporal lobe is damaged and changed with YH's temporal lobe...it is absurd even it is a fiction.


So I don't think it is a transplant...it could be an implant....if they insist with planting YH's memory in BR's head....but it is also required YH's head to be cut open too....and they need a live YH....either he's in comatose or braindead...he still need to be alive to keep his brain functional during the surgery....and it needs again a sophisticated technology support. That's we don't see in this drama....

What can we do now is just waiting....what will be the response from HSJ....

Whatever BR is now is still him not being a psychopathic killer...but still he's psychopatic....he can still feel the thrill and excitement...but he's other emotions and senses also improved....and the thing is his orbital cortex is working well this is what will be the key point for BR to feel remorse if he's indeed a psychopath killer. Because the amygdala is inhibited by orbital cortex of frontal lobe.....
How the writer will make it possible...we still need to see it....

Envy...that kidnapped kid was confronted with the other kid...he was asked if he envied him for having a complete family...he said no to that...and he's still missing....
