### Summary
Delivering on the previous chapter's cliffhanger, the narrative has shifted to Shin Heejae's point of view, revealing a traumatic childhood that readers believe is the root of his current obsessive personality. A flashback depicts him as a cute, innocent child who was cruelly abandoned by his "shitty parents," an event that has garnered significant reader sympathy for his younger self and anger towards his guardians. This backstory is presented as the origin of his "twisted personality" and "sick love map," contextualizing his yandere tendencies and deep-seated fear that good things will inevitably be followed by something terrible. The POV also confirms Heejae was aware of Kim Seyeong's netkama scheme from the very beginning, finding Seyeong's clumsy attempts both annoying and intriguing. He was particularly drawn to Seyeong's unique resistance, fitting the classic "tsundere" trope that he finds appealing. While this glimpse into his past provides a psychological explanation for his menacing behavior, it does not absolve him; readers still view him as a calculating and dangerous "psycho," solidifying the manhwa's turn from revenge comedy to a tense psychological thriller focused on his ambiguous and threatening obsession.
