### Summary
The fragile reunion between Han Sekye and Woo Yijun gives way to a moment of devastating vulnerability. Sekye lays bare the truth behind his bandaged wrists, confessing that he has not been well and has been desperately fighting for the will to live again. This raw admission culminates in a heartbreaking plea that reframes their entire dynamic: he asks Yijun for permission to finally love him, not as a substitute, but as himself. This act of brutal honesty, born from immense pain and self-harm, offers the first, tentative step toward mutual healing, but it is a step taken on the shattered ground of their shared trauma, leaving both men suspended between agonizing pain and a fragile flicker of hope.
