### Summary
Following his escape from captivity, the protagonist Woo Hyung is immediately confronted not with support, but with severe victim-blaming from his captor's family. Readers express outrage as the family, prioritizing their social reputation, forces the traumatized Woo Hyung to apologize for his own kidnapping and rape. This harrowing scene is compounded by what readers perceive as a grossly inadequate and dismissive response from law enforcement, who treat the situation like a "lover's quarrel" and fail to provide necessary medical or psychological support. This perceived systemic failure sparks intense reader debate about gender inequality and the societal dismissal of male sexual assault victims. The chapter's events also fuel discussions on the complexities of trauma and consent, with many commenters emphasizing that a victim's physical reaction does not negate the crime of rape. Amid the fallout, a new police officer who appears to recognize Woo Hyung is introduced, leading to audience speculation about whether he will be a source of salvation or another threat. The visceral art style continues to draw comparisons to other psychological horror series like "Killing Stalking," amplifying the story's unsettling and emotionally taxing atmosphere.
