### Summary
Based on reader reactions to the unexpected 2025 special chapter, the narrative revisits Yoonbum's psychological trauma following Sangwoo's death. Bum attempts a desperate escape into a crowded public space, potentially disguised (noted resemblance to Jieun Min), seeking help. However, his pleas are met with disbelief and public scrutiny, highlighting his isolation and the chilling realism of bystander apathy, leaving him visibly distressed and mentally imprisoned despite physical freedom. Sangwoo's presence looms large through flashbacks or Bum's perception, emphasizing the enduring, damaging impact of their codependent relationship. Readers express intense sadness for Bum's suffering, lingering fear from Sangwoo's character, and conflicted nostalgia for the series' traumatic themes. Comments confirm this is a special chapter, not a new arc or resurrection, focusing on Bum's unresolved trauma and failed attempt to find aid.
