### Summary
The central conflict between Jerry and Fourth Prince Ilya reaches a dramatic and frustrating climax during a visually beautiful and romantic scene. Following a heartfelt confession from a visibly emotional Ilya, whose ability to perceive Jerry's game system interface is confirmed, Jerry squanders the opportunity for a breakthrough. In a misguided attempt to explain that he believes Ilya's feelings are pre-programmed by the game, Jerry begins the conversation with the catastrophically worded phrase, "You were only born to love me." This statement is immediately interpreted by the readership as an arrogant, easily misunderstood romantic declaration rather than a revelation about the system. The blunder underscores Jerry's persistent failure to acknowledge Ilya's genuine agency, continuing to treat him as a non-player character despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The chapter concludes on a tense cliffhanger, with Jerry’s disastrous communication skills creating a massive new misunderstanding that threatens to intensify Ilya’s obsessive devotion and ironically manufacture the very "bad ending" he is desperate to avoid.
