### Summary
This chapter shifts to a deeply emotional and melancholic tone, eliciting strong feelings of sympathy for Nanmu. Readers were particularly heartbroken by the revelation of his simple, lifelong dream: to have a normal family, a desire made poignant by his worries over not knowing how to care for a child. This vulnerability is contrasted with his persistent self-perception as a burden who is ruining Pilgyun, a sentiment readers vehemently reject. The central conflict intensifies with the introduction of an antagonist, referred to as the "old man" or Pilgyun's father, who is universally despised for being abusive and slapping Pilgyun. This act of aggression appears to unleash Pilgyun's protective and violent "yandere" nature, as he is shown taking decisive, possibly murderous, action. His unwavering devotion is a key theme, with readers affirming he is Nanmu's only true family and would "burn the world down" for him. Amidst the angst, tender moments persist, and a flashback to a younger Nanmu and Kangho provides further depth. The audience remains captivated by the "toxic, kinda sweet" dynamic, acknowledging the fucked-up nature of their love while being fully invested in their journey toward escaping their circumstances together.
