### Summary
Following the previous chapter's shocking and controversial turn, where Suchae committed a transgressive act of sexual assault against the mysterious stranger, the current chapter sees the stranger abruptly leaving. This sudden departure has thrown the readership into a state of confusion, with many questioning the logic of him abandoning a place that offered food, shelter, and a sexual partner. The audience remains deeply unsettled by the narrative's drastic shift from a tense mystery to what they now perceive as a story about "two toxic perverts." A significant portion of the commentary is still focused on the assault, expressing outrage that the event is seemingly being glossed over. Speculation regarding the stranger's motives is divided; some readers believe his departure is a direct reaction to the trauma of the assault, while others theorize it is a necessary move for a fugitive who cannot stay in one place for long. This development has completely overshadowed the original mystery, leaving the story's future and the characters' deeply damaged relationship in a state of profound uncertainty and controversy.
