### Summary
The Fall Arc continues its intense emotional focus on the severe bullying of a student named Dongchae, a plotline deeply connected to Jaemin Lee’s ongoing healing from the trauma of his brother Hamin's suicide. While Jaemin’s intervention to prevent another tragedy remains a key narrative element, the most recent reader commentary has shifted away from a previously controversial romantic subplot to focus entirely on a specific artistic choice: the deliberate concealment of Dongchae’s face. This narrative decision has become a powerful symbol for the audience, who express a profound emotional investment in his fate. Readers speculate that his face is being hidden until he is finally safe, hoping the first time they see it will be when he is smiling. This hope is contrasted with a palpable fear that the reveal could instead mark a tragic end to his story, making the mystery of his appearance the dominant source of tension and discussion.
