### Summary
Following the catastrophic failure of his space habitat, which was obliterated by debris after successfully destroying the asteroid, Cheolsu is thrown back to the beginning of his time loop. This devastating outcome was a direct result of his cynical, trauma-driven plan to save only a select few while actively destroying any chance of escape for the rest of humanity, reinforcing the harsh lesson that a partial victory is unacceptable. While not suffering the same acute PTSD episode that followed Yumi's death in a prior loop, Cheolsu's mental state has degraded into a numb desensitization. He is psychologically shattered and "down in the dumps," a man so accustomed to failure that he has become emotionally blunted. This new regression forces him to re-evaluate his past strategies, which have repeatedly ended in disaster, and even highlights past oversights, such as his failure to ever inform his friend Taekhu about the impending apocalypse. Once again at the start, the profoundly scarred Cheolsu must confront the monumental task of saving everyone.
