### Summary
This chapter chronicles Woo Hyung's severe and worsening mental deterioration in the aftermath of his assault and subsequent separation from his wife, Noa. Now completely isolated, his trauma manifests as hypersexuality, a destructive coping mechanism. The chapter's central and most discussed event is his desperate act of masturbation using a sausage, which apparently becomes stuck inside him. This scene evoked a dual response from the audience: intense second-hand embarrassment and morbid curiosity about the logistics, alongside profound empathy and understanding. Many readers, some citing personal experience, identified his actions as a painfully realistic portrayal of a common trauma response among sexual assault survivors, viewing it as a form of self-punishment. The consensus is that Woo Hyung is a "broken man" who has lost all hope. His downward spiral is directly attributed to the complete lack of a support system, with readers lamenting the continued absence of any professional therapy or psychological intervention to help him process his ordeal.
