### Summary
Building upon the previous chapter's sinister atmosphere, this arc culminates in a tense and cathartic confrontation with the antagonist, Peacock. Reader commentary reveals intense disgust for Peacock, whose obsessive, controlling, and "yandere" behavior is fully unleashed, causing palpable trauma for Yuri and viscerally reminding the audience of the repeated abuse she has suffered in the novel's time loops. The chapter masterfully builds a sense of dread and helplessness, leading many to fear that Melissa had been successfully poisoned or incapacitated. This tension is shattered in a triumphant climax as Melissa dramatically awakens, ready to physically confront the villain. The fan reaction is overwhelmingly one of relief and excitement, with a unified call for Melissa to "punch his ugly face" and deliver justice. The artwork is highly praised for its ability to convey the emotional shift, particularly in capturing the "light returning to Yuri's eyes" upon Melissa's recovery. The event solidifies Melissa’s role as a "badass" queen and Yuri's ultimate liberator, poised to permanently break the cycle of abuse that defined the original story.
