### Summary
The toxic triad's fragile stability has shattered into open conflict, culminating in a violent outburst from Boguk. In a moment widely praised by readers, Boguk physically retaliates against an antagonist, an act seen as him finally standing up for himself. This confrontation follows an unsettling episode where Hyung Woo displayed a forced, manic cheerfulness in the presence of Sujo's suspicious friends, who are blamed for escalating the situation. While Boguk is lauded for his actions, concerns are raised about the professional repercussions for him as an officer. Concurrently, reader sympathy for Hyung has significantly eroded. He is increasingly perceived as a "fucking mess," selfishly using his partners as sexual objects to cope with his trauma while disregarding their emotional well-being. His behavior is seen not as a search for romance but as a continuation of his self-destructive, hypersexual patterns. The central theme remains that Hyung cannot outsource his recovery to others, and the codependent threesome is a taxing, unhealthy arrangement for everyone involved. The chapter leaves the characters in a state of "total chaos," with Boguk's dramatic action signaling a potential breaking point for their dysfunctional dynamic.
