Since you laugh at Pond's, I'm guessing you don't relate to Phuwin 😆 If I'm right, I can explain it.

So far, Phuwin's come across as incredibly polite and well-mannered—even Pond's mom picked up on it backstage. But sometimes his interactions seem a bit forced, like he's putting on a show rather than just being himself. You can see it in how he thinks about fans, that smile he gave Phi Tha, and what he said about the staff in the Asoke building.

Phuwin basically learned about human emotions through acting. His songwriting is a mix of mimicking, spotting patterns, and being super sensitive to everything around him, all expressed through really poetic, metaphorical lyrics. You might've noticed this in how Pond used super flowery Thai at summer camp. (Phuwin just finds it funny, though—he thinks it's just a weird habit of Pond's, or maybe how his mom raised him. Ha.)

I'm really enjoying writing Phuwin's POV. It's interesting to explore how he understands emotions by observing and then acting them out. In the next chapter, you'll see more of this. Basically, his love songs don't come from personal experience in the same way they might for someone else. He approaches emotions like an actor would—studying patterns, tones, expressions, all with Phi Jack's help. He analyzes relationships—from movies and poetry to real-life interactions—and then uses what he learns to write his lyrics. So, instead of a simple "I miss you," he'd describe the feeling using sensory details. Because Phuwin doesn't process emotions in a typical way, he struggles with direct emotional vocabulary, so he uses metaphors and poetic imagery to express what he can't directly name. This makes his songs less straightforward but also beautifully intricate, layered, and really evocative because of his unique way of seeing the world. Let me know if that makes sense.
