### Summary
Continuing the flashback into Cirrus Baek's childhood, the narrative reveals the pivotal moment of his foundational trauma. Overwhelmed by grief after his wife's death, Cirrus's father is overheard expressing the devastating wish that his son had died instead. According to reader commentary, this revelation has shattered the empathy previously built for the father, with the audience now overwhelmingly condemning his words as inexcusable. This cruel statement is identified as the direct origin of Cirrus's present-day psychological issues, explaining his affection-starved personality and his possessive, manipulative behavior towards Skylar Yeon. Readers connect this deep-seated trauma to his current inability to form healthy relationships, viewing his obsession with Skylar as a desperate search for the love he was denied. The father's subsequent introduction of a "new mom" is seen as a misguided and destructive coping mechanism that further damages his son. This backstory reinforces the manhwa's central theme of cyclical trauma, framing the toxic dynamic between Cirrus and Skylar as a destructive bond between two individuals profoundly shaped by their respective pasts.
