### Summary
The current chapter plunges deeper into Hyung Woo's psychological collapse as he continues to live with his rapist, Noyeol. Reader reactions confirm that Noyeol is actively manipulating the traumatized Hyung, discouraging him from seeking professional mental health treatment and lying about his own condition to maintain control. This disturbing dynamic is widely interpreted by the audience as a raw and horrifying depiction of Stockholm syndrome or an extreme trauma bond, reinforcing the manga's "Ouroboros" title as Hyung returns to the source of his pain. The chapter's atmosphere is described as one of intense dread and horror, with readers pointing to Hyung's visibly miserable expressions and Noyeol's predatory behavior as evidence of the toxic manipulation. Having already severed ties with his lovers, Sujo and Boguk, Hyung is now being further isolated by his abuser, leading to a powerful audience response of fury, heartbreak, and frustration over his self-destructive regression.
