### Summary
Following his severe dissociative breakdown, Woo Hyung’s recovery is perceived not as healing but as a dangerously unstable manic phase. Readers observe him trapped in a painful, repetitive cycle of emotional collapse, alcohol, and sex, only to repress the events and continue as if nothing happened. This erratic behavior has solidified the central trio's codependent "train wreck" status, with reader sentiment shifting dramatically. Sujo is now widely viewed as a tragic and selfless caregiver, burdened by his own struggles yet settling for the "crumbles" of affection Hyung offers, functioning as a "second comfort choice" in the toxic dynamic. Consequently, both Sujo and Boguk are increasingly seen as victims of Hyung's selfish attempts to manage his trauma by inflicting it upon them. The narrative's atmosphere is one of escalating despair, with readers finding it emotionally draining and noting that the situation "just keeps getting worse." The repeated, desperate mention of an unused safeword, "Potato," highlights the complete breakdown of healthy boundaries, reinforcing the unanimous belief that the characters are locked in a destructive cycle with no end in sight.
