### Summary
The narrative has pivoted to a controversial side plot centered on the brothers, Baek Beom and the now-deceased Sooyeon. Sooyeon, as a ghost, has engaged in a consensual physical relationship with his living brother, a development that has polarized the readership due to their incestuous and historically abusive dynamic. While some readers are captivated by the tragic nature of the relationship and praise the artwork's beauty, others express strong discomfort. Reader commentary is overwhelmingly sympathetic towards Sooyeon, who is viewed as a tragic figure enduring misery in both life and death. Speculation is rampant that he is on the verge of becoming a demon, with details like his black tears fueling this theory. The introduction of a "messenger" figure, a psychopomp offering Sooyeon a path to the afterlife, has created a central conflict where readers urge him to let go of his toxic attachment to Beom. This side story has also prompted new analysis of the main plot, with a prevailing theory suggesting that ghosts, like Sooyeon, engage in physical acts to "feel alive," retroactively explaining the original ghost's obsession with Seong-jae. Amid the plot's divisive content, the manga's detailed and realistic art style continues to receive universal praise.
