### Summary
The chapter's events spark a heated debate among readers, centered on the theme of human nature under extreme duress. The primary conflict revolves around a character, Mr. Kim, who chooses to abandon the group and flee through an open door, prioritizing his own survival. This act divides the readership: many vehemently condemn him as a coward and a hypocrite, particularly for using his family as an excuse when others, like Sung Jinwoo, also have loved ones. These readers express frustration and a desire for his demise. Conversely, a significant number of comments defend Mr. Kim, arguing that his panic and self-preservation are a deeply realistic and understandable human reaction to a terrifying situation, with many admitting they would have done the same. This realism is praised for making the scene more compelling. Amid the debate, readers speculate that fleeing is a trap for those who failed to "prove thy faith," and that the statues, frequently compared to the terrifying Weeping Angels from \*Doctor Who\*, will punish the deserters. The incident is seen as a pivotal, traumatic moment for Jinwoo, reinforcing his eventual solo path and highlighting why a relationship with the healer, Joo-Hee, would be difficult due to the shared trauma.
