### Summary
The narrative continues its focus on the dramatic subplot involving Noah, whose relationship crisis reaches its climax as her boyfriend officially breaks up with her. While readers in the previous chapter were convinced of his infidelity, the current chapter has introduced a layer of ambiguity. Many still condemn him as a cheater and a "scum," but a new, prominent theory suggests his actions may stem from an inferiority complex, possibly related to dropping out of school and feeling inadequate. Despite this alternative explanation, the overall sentiment toward him remains overwhelmingly negative. However, many readers express a grudging respect for his decision to end the relationship directly rather than prolonging Noah's suffering through deception. The audience is united in its support for Noah, celebrating the end of the relationship and asserting that she "deserves better." Readers note that Noah's instincts about the relationship's decline were correct, even if she was hesitant to act first after so many years together.
