### Summary
Following an incident of profound professional humiliation, the narrative shifts to the core philosophical conflict between Dohee and Joonwon over their shared time loop ability. A clear divide emerges in their perspectives: Dohee, who has lived with the phenomenon since she was a child, has adapted and pragmatically accepts it as a tool to avert disaster and help others, earning praise from readers. Conversely, Joonwon expresses a deep-seated hatred for the repetition, viewing it as a "torment." His intense negative reaction has led readers to speculate that he is trapped reliving a significant personal trauma, with theories suggesting a repeatedly witnessed betrayal by a former fiancée. This emotional turmoil directly challenges his previously stated apathy, as readers note his angry expressions indicate Dohee is beginning to affect him. The community is now split, debating whether the loop is a curse, as Joonwon believes, or a manageable condition that can be used for good, as Dohee demonstrates. This central tension deepens their relationship dynamic while also prompting fan theories about the mechanics of breaking the loop.
