Their best bet was to keep him in good spirit

Chin-hwa developed a thought disorder, or Alogia, as some of the specialists would believe to be better suited for his condition.

It happened from the moment Kang-woo left. He believed he could hear his stuffed animals talking to him when in fact, it was just his thoughts playing out to him.

And so he would respond, as if having a conversation with them.

It was the result of keeping his words and thoughts to himself, suffering from depressed thinking and lack of answers. When there was no one to answer his question, his thoughts would give him an answer while he stared at his plushies, even though those answers weren't exactly accurate.

He felt no one was listening to him and no one was giving him answers after having begged and pleaded to be told why Kang-woo had to leave.

So, he started speaking to his stuffed animals instead.
