come see a beauty

At the beginning, the words that Valentine said when recruiting through the eldest disciple showed the various irregularities of this organization. This organization expanded Toon's few words into a doctrine-like concept, creating an idol to flaunt himself, elevate himself, and even degrade others, and this other person was Toon's wife. This is somewhat similar to the behavior of the Shiites in Islam who claimed that Ismail would be resurrected in a hundred years when there was no successor to Ismail. It was nothing more than to keep the followers.

The eldest disciple claims to have inherited Towon's social philosophy, but his various actions show excessive execution and a strong desire to control: controlling public opinion, intensifying discord between husband and wife, preventing the two from meeting to cover up lies, forcing Wallen Ding and Martha separate. He deprives others of love and freedom in the name of love and freedom.

What the role of Valentine offers is a perspective, an audience-like perspective.
In the beginning he was just a very pure and devout admirer. Being Toon's secretary and having the privilege of talking with Toon brought his heart and tears to his eyes. Everything he knows about Toon comes from Toon's works, disciples, etc., and as pure as he will believe everything he knows, he has not yet had his own independent point of view, and has not begun to think independently.

And the contact with Toon and his wife, the love between Masha, watching the struggle between Sophia and the eldest disciple, all these make him mature slowly and understand the existence of love.
