### Summary
The chapter focuses on the devastating emotional fallout following Woo Hyung's escape, centering on his reunion with his wife, Noa, who is the sister of his rapist. Readers are left heartbroken and infuriated as Woo Hyung, consumed by trauma and self-blame, repeatedly apologizes for the ordeal he suffered. This act of self-blame is exacerbated by the continued victim-blaming from his in-laws, who prioritize their family's reputation over his well-being. While some readers perceive moments of tenderness and support from Noa, others question her commitment and find her reaction inadequate, creating ambiguity around her character. Woo Hyung's mental state is shown to be rapidly deteriorating, with one scene on a balcony causing readers to fear for his life. A significant point of outrage among the audience is the complete lack of institutional support; they repeatedly question why the authorities and his family have failed to provide him with any form of therapy or psychological care. The chapter is widely described as a difficult and emotionally taxing read that powerfully depicts the complexities of male sexual assault, societal neglect, and the crushing weight of trauma.
