### Summary
Acting on the Mountain Kings' diagnosis that his presence is the direct cause of Hyo-un's worsening illness, Taehyuk makes the painful decision to leave, departing on a jet to distance himself from the dragon. This action is met with overwhelming anguish and frustration from readers, who flood the comments with pleas for him to return to his "sweet crybaby dragon." The consensus among fans is that this separation is a terrible mistake that contradicts established canon, where Hyo-un's health previously declined severely in Taehyuk's absence. Many theorize the dragon's sickness is psychological, stemming from his profound fear of abandonment. However, the chapter introduces a critical, conflicting observation that has sparked debate: Hyo-un is shown waking up and physically improving the moment Taehyuk is gone. This has led some readers to reluctantly consider that the tigers may have been right, while others propose alternative theories involving curses or other external factors. The chapter concludes on a note of intense angst, leaving readers heartbroken over the forced separation and anxiously anticipating a painful reunion, with some referencing spoilers for an upcoming "plane scene."
