### Summary
The narrative focus shifts from the previously established antagonist, a "shady professor," to a more intimate conflict involving the protagonist's childhood friend. This friend has become the new center of reader outrage after expressing virulent homophobia, including calling LGBTQ+ people "gross." The reader community is largely unified in its condemnation of her bigotry, with many hoping she is written out of the story. However, this vitriol is tempered by a contingent of readers who hold out hope for a redemption arc. These users share personal stories of overcoming learned prejudice, suggesting the friend may simply be misguided by her upbringing, much like the neighbor and their "printing club" were influenced by the professor. This chapter deepens the exploration of intolerance by moving it from an external ideological source to a close personal relationship, creating a new emotional challenge for the protagonist, Mai Sohn. Despite the heavy subject matter, some comments indicate the story's romantic elements continue to progress positively.
