### Summary
The narrative shifts focus to a secondary romantic subplot, sparking intense reader debate and speculation. The chapter centers on Chowon, Jieum's sister from her 18th life, and her persistent, unreciprocated pursuit of one of Seoha's close employees. This dynamic has divided readers, with some criticizing Chowon for disrespecting the man's clear boundaries and ignoring their significant difference in social standing. However, other readers speculate that his rejections are not due to a lack of interest but stem from a deeper, tragic connection to the past. A prominent theory emerges from the comments, suggesting that the man's father was the driver of the car during the fatal "accident" that killed Juwon and traumatized Seoha. This potential link would place an immense burden of guilt on him, making a relationship with the victim's sister, Chowon, emotionally and morally untenable. This development expands the central mystery, implying that the driver's family is also entangled in the conspiracy's aftermath and adding another layer of inherited trauma to the story.
