### Summary
The current chapter deepens the contentious redemption arc of Taehwan by revealing through a flashback that his connection to Yeonwu began long before their present conflict. It is shown that Taehwan orchestrated their first meeting during their school days, driven by a years-long obsession to simply learn Yeonwu's name. This revelation has intensified the existing reader debate surrounding his character. Many readers now express increased sympathy, interpreting his past cruelty and abusive behavior as a tragic consequence of his inability to accept his own feelings, which they attribute to his established backstory of trauma and internalized homophobia. For this segment, the fact that he "fell first" makes his current suffering more poignant. Conversely, other readers remain unconvinced, viewing his long-standing obsession as further evidence of manipulative and unstable behavior. They argue that his early feelings do not excuse treating Yeonwu "like trash" and see his current state—symbolized by a panel of him sitting beaten amongst garbage—as deserved retribution rather than a moment of genuine reflection. The chapter thus complicates Taehwan's journey toward atonement, framing his toxic actions as a product of profound self-denial and leaving the audience to grapple with the complexities of his character.
