### Summary
Following the inaugural chapter where Daniel inherits the mysterious Hotel Pharus after a day of personal and professional collapse, the story introduces the hotel's manager, Grayson, who has become the central focus of reader speculation. The audience overwhelmingly perceives Grayson as "sus," noting his unenthusiastic and tired demeanor, which suggests he feels trapped by Daniel's arrival and may have been planning to leave. This has fueled theories about his connection to Daniel's late father, with some readers positing he was his lover, while others suggest he harbors resentment over Daniel's 20-year estrangement from his father following a divorce. The mystery deepens as readers also question Daniel's parentage, citing physical dissimilarities that hint at a potential adoption or family secret involving a "shady" mother. While the art style continues to garner praise, the chapter's cliffhanger ending has shifted the narrative's intrigue from the hotel's supernatural rumors to the complex personal histories and suspicious motives of its key figures.
