### Summary
The emotional devastation from the previous chapter intensifies, focusing on Nanmu's complete breakdown in the wake of Pilgyun's disappearance. Readers are profoundly affected by his spiraling mental state, expressing overwhelming sorrow and a desire to comfort him as he succumbs to grief and self-hatred. This suffering is driven by a core theme of mutual, misplaced guilt: Nanmu blames himself for Pilgyun’s violent nature, while Pilgyun has embarked on a solo revenge mission, believing Nanmu’s past trauma is his fault. The readership is torn, simultaneously pleading for Pilgyun to return to his "daddy" and supporting his violent quest to murder his biological father. Amid the central angst, the "second male lead syndrome" surrounding Jeolho grows stronger, as readers praise his subtle, gentle care for the crumbling Nanmu, highlighting the pain of his own unrequited love. The community is united in its shared heartbreak and dread, bracing for the "rivers of blood" foreshadowed by Pilgyun's chilling departure and a potential violent reunion.
