### Summary
Following her recent psychological collapse, a flashback reveals the source of Hong Seol’s deep-seated trauma: the painful death of her grandmother during her childhood. This emotionally devastating event is identified as the origin of her present-day behavioral tics, specifically her compulsion to grab people's hands in moments of intense vulnerability and her difficulty with crying, which directly recontextualizes previous key scenes in her relationship with Yoo Jung. While the memory is profoundly sorrowful, it simultaneously heightens the narrative's psychological tension. Having witnessed this raw display of her deepest weakness, there is a palpable fear that Jung will, in line with his manipulative nature, weaponize this newfound knowledge against her. This revelation of Seol's past now serves as a critical test for their fragile new relationship, placing her most profound trauma directly in the hands of the inscrutable man she has only just decided to trust.
