### Summary
The long-awaited reunion of Adele and Hexion has finally occurred, though their romantic moment is quickly subsumed by the quest for the final monolith, which they enter alongside Jean. The setting, a dark and treacherous ice cave, immediately creates tension as both Hexion and Jean are rendered blind, relying entirely on Adele. However, this dynamic has sparked significant reader backlash due to what is perceived as Adele's uncharacteristically poor judgment. Her suggestion that the two men hold each other's hands instead of hers, followed by her recklessly running across a frozen surface, has been widely criticized as "stupid" and a contrived plot device. The inevitable cliffhanger—Adele falling through the ice—has intensified this frustration, with many fans lamenting the "deteriorating FL brain" trope and fearing a clichéd damsel-in-distress rescue. This perceived character regression overshadows the chapter's more positive elements, such as the heartwarming reunion scenes and cute chibi art. Meanwhile, underlying tensions persist; some readers feel Adele unfairly admonishes Hexion for the ongoing friction with a "pissy and jealous" Jean. The community also remains anxious, recalling the siren's previous warning for Hexion to avoid this specific monolith, while the popular fan theory that Jean is a red-haired relative descended from the hero Hooxenlite continues to circulate.
