### Summary
Following the previous chapter's intimate encounter, the narrative skips any explicit conclusion, much to the frustration of readers. The focus shifts to the immediate aftermath, revealing a significant misunderstanding driven by Rafael's character. In a display of extreme naivety, Rafael has misinterpreted his consensual encounter with Captain Dante as a sexual assault that he himself committed. He confesses this perceived transgression to his father, who, apparently believing his son is a criminal, responds with physical violence, leaving Rafael beaten. This event clarifies the series' domestic violence warning for the audience. This development completely reframes Rafael's character, shattering the prior theory that his "puppy" persona was a calculated facade. Readers now overwhelmingly view him as an unprecedented "green flag"—a character so pure and morally upright that it borders on comical. The incident, while sad, has endeared him to the audience, who now see him as an adorable, precious, and hilariously innocent man who must be protected at all costs.
