### Summary
This chapter delivers a pivotal revelation concerning Rae-hwa's traumatic past, confirming that she, not her mother, was the true artist behind the family's acclaimed paintings. The narrative exposes her mother as a narcissistic figure who exploited her daughter's prodigious talent for her own fame, a truth that drove the family's dysfunction. Consequently, the abusive stepfather's motives are re-contextualized; his horrific actions, including shattering Rae-hwa's hands and having her institutionalized, were a twisted and violent attempt to conceal this secret and maintain control over her. In the face of this devastating truth, Gwon I-tae sets aside the couple's recent miscommunication and steps firmly back into his role as a "yandere" protector. Reader reactions indicate he takes swift, violent action to dismantle the family's legacy, with comments pointing to him leaving blood but no fingerprints at the father's annex. This act of retribution is framed as a supportive measure, reinforcing his status as a "shoulder to lean on" and shifting the story's focus from internal relationship strife back to the couple's unified, "sick" war against their shared history.
