### Summary
The narrative has pivoted from the tragic history of the reaper Hyundae to an equally devastating exploration of the protagonist Seowoo's own past. A new flashback delves into her teenage years, revealing her profound struggles with depression. This backstory is made more painful by her parents' complete misunderstanding of her condition, as they dismissed her cries for help by labeling her as "lazy." This depiction has struck a powerful chord with readers, who find the situation intensely relatable and express deep empathy for a younger Seowoo, with specific panels, like one involving a book, proving particularly impactful. While the emotional weight of the previous arc still lingers, with readers continuing to mourn the deaths of characters like Suoh and Gwonhun, the focus has now firmly shifted to the origins of Seowoo's despair. This revelation provides crucial context for her suicide attempt at the beginning of the series, grounding the story's overarching themes of grief and trauma in her deeply personal and human experience.
