### Summary
The narrative returns its focus to Hong Seol's personal development as she navigates the immense and multifaceted pressures of university life, including her studies, relationships, and family issues. In Yoo Jung's absence, Seol is observed inadvertently taking on his former social role on campus, facing the same expectations from peers, such as requests to share study materials. This has prompted a significant change in her demeanor; while she handles these situations more directly than Jung would have, she has adopted a similar "coldness" and "false politeness" to fend off academic freeloaders. This behavioral shift is interpreted as a direct result of Jung's influence, showing how she is internalizing his methods to survive. Despite her resilience, Seol struggles to cope with the overwhelming stress, characteristically refusing to accept support from those around her or take breaks, even when given the opportunity.
