### Summary
The emotional fallout from the breakup leaves Han Sekye completely shattered, now clinging to a photograph of Yijun as his fantasy of "Haram" and reality dangerously merge. This descent has struck a powerful chord with readers, who respond with a mix of heartbreak, frustration, and profound empathy. While condemning his toxic actions, a chorus of fans—many sharing their own deeply personal stories of loneliness and trauma—diagnose Sekye's obsession not as pure malice, but as a tragic coping mechanism born from a loveless childhood. The consensus is clear: Sekye is a deeply ill man who cannot differentiate his imaginary savior from the real person he has hurt, and while readers desperately want happiness for both him and Yijun, they recognize that any hope for a healthy future must begin with professional help and a painful separation.
