### Summary
Following Boguk's emotionally mature rejection of a relationship that Woo Hyung hoped would "fix" him, the narrative continues to explore the raw and difficult path of trauma recovery. Still unable to seek professional therapy for fear of jeopardizing a potential return to the police force, Hyung is now confronted by figures from his past. The arrival of his former mother-in-law creates immediate tension, with readers reacting angrily to her antagonistic presence in the wake of Hyung's suffering. This is complicated by the re-entry of his ex-wife, Noa, whose role is divisive. While some readers see her rushing to his side as a sign of care and praise her for setting boundaries necessary for his healing, others remain critical of her. Their former relationship is framed as a potential "lavender marriage," suggesting a friendship rather than a romance. Amidst these interpersonal dramas, Hyung's trauma remains palpable, with scenes where he flinches in expectation of abuse resonating deeply with the audience and underscoring his ongoing struggle.
