### Summary
The chapter intensifies the portrayal of Hyung Woo's psychological torment, culminating in a scene that readers found profoundly heartbreaking: his desperate begging for sex from his friend. This act is depicted not as a desire for pleasure, but as a frantic and painful coping mechanism to momentarily erase the intrusive memories of his assault. The audience's distress is compounded by a new violation, as a "warden" discloses Hyung Woo's private, traumatic history, causing him further humiliation and sparking reader outrage over the breach of confidentiality. Amidst this suffering, a moment of genuine comfort emerges when a character named Boguk embraces Hyung Woo, a hug described by readers as precious and deeply caring, offering a rare glimpse of solace in his overwhelming despair. The commentary overwhelmingly reflects the chapter's raw and painful emotional impact, with many readers admitting to crying and expressing deep empathy for Hyung Woo's struggle. His isolation and the practical barriers to professional help are also noted, reinforcing the bleakness of his situation as he sinks further into self-destructive patterns in a desperate attempt to escape his trauma.
