Who tf is seth? I read the entire prologue and I am quite confused as things seem a lot different than the prologue.

Seth and the main protag are highschool friends, hanging out atop an elementary school building, smoking the good good.

"my brother, chris, still hasnt responded"
I am aware that a relative of the main protag gets killed, maybe this is foreshadowing.

Seth and the main protag are good friends but they arent that close, the relationship is somewhat shallow to some degree. This could either imply that later on they will get close or they'll fall apart.

I was wrong, a cousin named Jun has passed. This makes me understand the point of the prologue, as in it our protag visits his cousins in the Philippines. which introduces us to jun and eventually at this point were we learn them to be dead.

# data[].attributes.body
The way jun died is secretive, given the Philippines is a 3rd world country, he may have been executed or murdered by a power that the family likely cannot safely challenge.

jun's death was from roberto duterte's drug war. i did a little reaserch about this and it turns out, the president of the phillipines told the people they can form death squads and brutally murder anyone who is into or associated with drugs.

roberto durterte murdered people during his career as senator, he is definitely insane.

jun gets a text from a weird person with a link, what is this supposed to be?

# data[].attributes.body
the person messaging protag is apparently jun's friend. they said jun didnt deserve to die.

# data[].attributes.body
apparently jun's death was actually not because of drugs, if so, then why was he killed?

protag sees a video of a bunch of filipino cops dragging a kid onto the street with a bag over his head, and then the cops unmask the kid, give him a gun, and then as the kid is pleading for his like, the cops blow him away with their guns. clearly the drug war is being abused.

this book seems to be about family, loyalty, the truth and the responsibility to ourselves and others. protag is gong to the Philippines to find out the truth.

the filipino drug war seems really messed up, ive seen some terrible things in my life but hearing about this makes me realize that theres so much worse out there. the protag's family doesnt seem to care much about jun's death because he was apparently related to drugs. thats really messed up, its almost like everyone is hiding from the truth.
