### Summary
The current chapter confirms the death of the side character Sooyeon, eliciting strong reactions of grief from readers who mourn his tragic life and violent end at the hands of his brother, Beom. However, the narrative allows no time to process this loss, immediately introducing a shocking new supernatural development. The central focus shifts to Jo Seong-jae, who exhibits clear signs of possession, including a disturbing change in appearance with blackened nails, causing widespread alarm and confusion among the audience. Reader speculation points heavily towards the spirit of the newly deceased Sooyeon as the possessing entity, possibly in a desperate attempt to be near his unrequited love, Hong Dohui, by using Seong-jae's body. This new crisis escalates the peril for the main couple, as the innocent Seong-jae is once again made to suffer while the physically decaying Dohui must contend with this new internal threat on top of the existing curse and Beom's brewing, misdirected revenge. The relentless escalation of suffering reinforces a tone of fatalism, leaving readers to feel the characters are spiraling towards an inescapable, tragic conclusion.
