### Summary
The central conflict has shifted from external threats to Giovanni's internal trauma, specifically his profound fear of abandonment. His refusal to undergo a medical procedure that could cure his inability to feel warmth is revealed to be a desperate attempt to maintain his codependency with Felix. Giovanni believes that if he is no longer physically reliant on Felix for warmth, Felix will leave him. This vulnerability is a direct result of his abusive past and is perceived by readers as both a heartbreaking trauma response and a concerning "red flag" in the relationship. In stark contrast to Giovanni's insecurity, Felix's devotion remains unwavering; he protectively confronts a homophobic colleague, Jeonghyun, and displays moments of petty loyalty. Having moved past the manipulative origins of their relationship involving Felix's half-brother, Oliver, their bond is now defined by intense love and shared trauma. However, it is currently being tested by Giovanni's inability to trust in Felix's love without the crutch of his own physical ailment. Readers empathize with Giovanni's pain but recognize the unhealthy dynamic, urging for open communication to resolve his deep-seated fears. The narrative balances this heavy emotional weight with tender romance and the introduction of Giovanni's perceptive brother, Leegang, who may play a more significant future role.
