### Summary
Following the conclusion of a lengthy historical flashback where the dragon Hyo-un awakened from his coma with his memories restored, the narrative returns to the present to find Yoo Taehyuk in a perilous, near-death state. Having been previously injured in a fall from a mountain, Taehyuk is now depicted in a liminal space, teetering on the brink of death. Readers interpret this scene as Taehyuk being confronted by a "grim reaper" figure and a symbolic river he is being tempted to cross. The emotional stakes are heightened by the appearance of a child version of Hyo-un in this limbo, who desperately pleads with Taehyuk not to get on the boat, representing the dragon's frantic effort to save his reincarnated mate. The fan reaction is one of overwhelming angst and emotional exhaustion, with many expressing heartbreak at the prospect of the couple being separated by death once again, just as a reunion seemed possible. The chapter's perceived brevity has amplified this distress, leaving readers desperately hoping for Hyo-un's intervention and a final end to the characters' centuries-long suffering.
