### Summary
The central conflict deepens around the dramatic irony of Alex and Yessica's reunion. While Alex is fully aware of Yessica's true identity, he respectfully waits for her to reveal herself on her own terms. Yessica, however, remains completely oblivious to this. Traumatized by her past hardships and plagued by insecurity, she has misinterpreted Alex's kiss as a sign that he is attracted to her male disguise, "Kenny." This misunderstanding fuels her fear that he would lose interest if he discovered she was a woman, leading her to believe her facade is more desirable than her true self. Readers express great sympathy for Yessica's internal struggle while finding the miscommunication both poignant and comical. The chapter also expands on Alex's character, showcasing a confident, devil-may-care personality inherited from his father, Eli. This is humorously demonstrated through his recurring habit of impulsively recruiting new people he meets on his journey, much like an RPG protagonist collecting party members, to the exasperation of his companion, Leo. A new running gag involving a character exclaiming "All by myself" is also introduced, alongside a minor subplot concerning a Baron who has sided with traitors due to a misunderstanding.
