### Summary
The latest chapter reveals the traumatic origin of Dohee’s time-looping ability, which began when she was seven years old. Readers discovered she was trapped in a horrifying loop, forced to repeatedly witness her abusive father murder her mother and relive the moment of her own abandonment. This harrowing experience, which she could only escape by accepting her mother leaving her, reframes her entire history with her power, explaining it as a survival mechanism born from inescapable childhood horror. This revelation draws a direct parallel to Joonwon’s own family tragedy, solidifying the theme of their shared trauma and explaining their differing perspectives on the loops—his a curse, hers a tool. The community has responded with overwhelming empathy for Dohee, praising the realistic depiction of her suffering. However, this deeper insight has also led to skepticism regarding her romance with the equally damaged Joonwon, with some readers questioning if their relationship is a superficial solution to profound psychological wounds and expressing a desire for a more stable partner for her.
