### Summary
The central conflict has evolved from external threats to Giovanni's internal trauma, which is now manifesting as overt manipulation. Readers perceive Giovanni's refusal to seek a cure for his inability to feel warmth not just as a trauma response rooted in his fear of abandonment, but as a form of "gaslighting" to ensure Felix's continued presence. While some find his insecurity relatable, many are critical of this "red flag" behavior, noting the cruelty of exploiting Felix's unwavering devotion. Felix, who has endured a lifetime of manipulation, remains a loyal and loving partner, yet is clearly hurt by Giovanni's actions. This dynamic of mutual obsession is further complicated by an impending trip to the US, which readers fear will lead to a negative turn of events. Amidst the heavy emotional tension, the supportive and reliable Secretary Kim has emerged as a fan-favorite character, praised for his steadfast support of the main couple. The audience is largely in agreement, urging Giovanni to be vulnerable and communicate his fears to Felix, believing that open dialogue is the only way to resolve the unhealthy codependency that now threatens their trauma-bonded, but genuine, love.
