### Summary
The latest chapter delves into dark psychological horror, pivoting from the present-day spy threat to a powerful flashback revealing a character's traumatic childhood. This pivotal scene centers on extreme religious indoctrination within the story's cult, depicting a young boy, strongly implied to be Kangsoo (Mr. Ahn), being emotionally abused by his brainwashed parents. The flashback shows them using threats of hell and damnation to force their beliefs onto him, a moment that resonated deeply with readers and sparked widespread discussion on religious trauma. This revelation provides a stark, disturbing context for Kangsoo's "perfect" and devoted persona, re-framing him from a simple romantic rival to a deeply traumatized survivor shaped by the same abusive system that victimized Hari. While the ongoing threat of a "Judas" in Hari's circle still lingers in the background, the chapter's primary focus is this exploration of psychological abuse, which simultaneously deepens the character's complexity and dispels a fan theory that he and Hari might be related.
