@critical thinking THIS!! In a post apocalyptic world harsh rules are to keep it from going to he** in a handbasket. Honestly it would be way more helpful to send the dad out to get more medicine or die trying and also help with guwon playing executioner but the hounds are the only people keeping the villagers alive so in order to keep everyone alive the hounds need to be alive which means emergency stuff is saved for them. Super simple. Dad should have become a hound to gather and then he could have gotten medicine in proxy of his son.
Not happy unless he give him that "Minoy minoy noy"
