### Summary
The narrative has revealed the traumatic origins of Cirrus Baek's cruelty, shifting the central conflict away from blackmail and deeper into psychological territory. A flashback, prompted by classmate Jeong-hoon's threat of exposure, shows a young Cirrus being relentlessly bullied by a peer named Hyungsik over his unstable family life, specifically his father's constant rotation of new partners. The torment culminated in Cirrus violently retaliating by pushing Hyungsik down a flight of stairs. This revelation has elicited significant sympathy from readers, who largely view Cirrus's childhood actions as a justified, albeit extreme, reaction to severe provocation and a dysfunctional upbringing. His present-day harassment of Skylar is now contextualized as a product of this unresolved trauma. Readers have drawn strong parallels between the two protagonists, suggesting both adopted new personas to cope with past suffering, as hinted by the line "You can't just change who you are." This shared history of being bullied has led to speculation that it could foster a complex bond, with some hoping for mutual healing while others anticipate a "mental ill relationship." The dynamic has evolved, with the focus now on whether Skylar will recognize their similar pasts and how this new understanding will impact their mutually destructive cycle.
