### Summary
The narrative continues to explore Cirrus Baek's traumatic childhood through an extended flashback, generating overwhelming sympathy from the audience. This backstory details his profound loneliness and emotional abandonment after his mother's death, emphasizing the failure of all adult figures in his life, including a neglectful father and a cold stepmother who rejected any maternal role. The chapter poignantly illustrates his desperation for affection through his interactions with a pet bird that also ignores him, symbolizing a lifetime of rejection. A particularly heartbreaking detail highlighted by readers is that a young Cirrus, attempting to contact a caring figure referred to as his "auntie," repeatedly dialed the wrong phone number, unknowingly severing his only potential source of support. This history of severe neglect is overwhelmingly interpreted by readers as the direct origin of Cirrus's current manipulative, possessive, and affection-starved personality. His destructive obsession with Skylar is thus re-contextualized not as simple villainy, but as a tragic outcome of cyclical trauma, casting their toxic dynamic as a destructive bond between two deeply wounded individuals.
