### Summary
The narrative continues to escalate the psychological tension surrounding Hong Seol, whose social anxiety is exacerbated by the suffocating campus dynamics. Following a public incident that reinforced her belief that the seemingly perfect senior Yoo Jung is a source of her misfortune, the social environment remains hostile to her suspicions, with figures like Sangcheol Kim perpetuating a culture of "Jung worship." Reader reactions to the current events highlight the perceived toxicity of the student body and criticize Sangcheol's immaturity. A significant new development introduces further ambiguity to Jung's character, as speculation arises that he may have given up his scholarship for Seol, a potentially benevolent act that directly contradicts her perception of him as a manipulator. This complexity, however, is a source of some reader frustration, with comments pointing to a confusing narrative timeline and unclear flashbacks. Amidst the ongoing conflict, the appearance of Inho Baek is noted with positive anticipation by the audience.
