### Summary
Following the homophobic attack on Chris, Max returns and immediately retaliates against the bullies. Readers interpret his actions as fiercely protective, likening him to a "guard dog" as he confronts the perpetrators in what appears to be a college shower or locker room, forcefully asserting dominance to protect a distraught and crying Chris. This act of retribution is met with cheers from the audience, who are relieved to see Max defend his partner. However, this satisfaction is heavily overshadowed by a pervasive sense of dread and anxiety. Readers are overwhelmingly concerned that the story is heading towards a tragic conclusion, frequently drawing parallels to other famously angsty manga. The overt and unpunished nature of the bullying leads many to speculate the story is set in a past era with more rampant homophobia. While Max’s protective instincts are on full display, the audience remains on edge, anticipating the inevitable fallout when Chris discovers the violent truth about Max's criminal life, a revelation they believe will shatter their relationship.
