Summary
There has to be more to someone than just their body, right ?
There has to be something more to me.
So why do I find myself to be hollow ? Why do I find myself to be empty ?
I look at my insides and I see nothing but a great big void. Where is the rest of me ?

Summary
When Sirius Black goes home after his fourth year at Hogwarts, something goes wrong. He doesn't answer the mirror, doesn't send letters, and doesn't pop his head in the Floo.
When Sirius Black comes after the summer holidays, his fifth year, something is wrong, and almost everyone can tell.
He doesn't come back with the train, doesn't laugh the same way, doesn't put the bottle down, and doesn't cross people's eyesights. He doesn't tell, doesn't touch, doesn't complain and never seems surprised. When a unicorn tackles James to the ground for coming too close, he doesn't flinch, doesn't move, doesn't seem bothered, doesn't try to help.
Something went wrong this Summer. The Marauders try to figure it out.
Five times Sirius' summer worries his friends + one time they talk about it

Summary
In In-ho's room (S01E02) there are three visible prints of "Empire of Light" by René Magritte. One is on the cover of a book, alongside books on Van Gogh, Claude Monet, and two on Picasso.
Modern art, especially surrealism, is a huge influence on the visual storytelling in the show, and further, the associated philosophies of the artists and works play a significant role in the story. It is interesting to me that In-ho is, in fiction, invested in these same works that inspired the creation of the world around him. It would make sense if he bought these books as a response to the trauma of surviving his game, as a way to make sense of the absurd. Picasso: The Blue and Rose Periods is from 2019, four years after his game. Then there's his books on Lacan, Camus, and Nietzsche.
This is an exploration of that concept, of In-ho fixating on modern art, particularly surrealism, to make sense of his reality. The first part is based in NYC, when the Front Man is tasked to smooth things over with the Panther mask VIP in person. The second part follows Gi-hun's life after winning his game, as In-ho observes him. In the third, they clash.

Bookmarker's Notes
Often feel the urge to return to this fic, especially while writing myself, and I was extatic to find it again in my marked for laters, so I thought a proper bookmark was in order

Reddit poster ‘rjlupe’ or, as his employment paperwork referred to him, Remus Lupin, was a very strange person, and Hardison was actually kind of intrigued.
