Jae's conflict is layered, fighting, too many questions and hurts competing for which one gets enabled the most in his head. He doesn't want to be a sorcerer. He doesn't want to be a part of the supernatural community. He doesn't want to be in Baedal. He resents his birthright. He resents being imprisoned. He wants to know about himself. He wants help. He wants to understand the pride that other people have, he wants...

He asks for nothing, and yet the strange air seems to find him inside where it hurts the most.

(They're all hunted or hunting, terrible to each other, beautiful to each other, no matter what they are, there's no point in drawing lines around what he is or isn't. Would it be so awful, for him to identify with something, for once in his life?)
