### Summary
The pervasive dread from the previous chapter materializes into devastating reality, confirming fan theories that the amusement park date was a final goodbye. The central event is Pilgyun’s abrupt disappearance, which plunges Nanmu into a state of panicked denial and heartbreak, with his tears becoming the chapter's emotional focal point for readers. This departure is understood to be fueled by guilt over Nanmu's past suffering, a burden intentionally placed on him by his biological father. While Nanmu grieves, believing his "son" is merely lost, Pilgyun is shown embarking on a solo mission, ominously singing nursery rhymes like "little bunny foo foo," a detail readers interpret as the chilling embrace of his "psycho" nature as he prepares for violent retribution. Amid the overwhelming angst, a significant secondary emotional response has emerged in the form of "second male lead syndrome." Readers were deeply moved by the scene where one of Nanmu's "brothers," Jeolho, who also harbors feelings for him, steps in to provide gentle comfort, creating a compelling and unexpectedly tender dynamic. The community's sentiment has shifted from anxious anticipation to realized pain, as they mourn the couple's separation and brace for the inevitable "rivers of blood" to come.
