### Summary
Following the shocking revelations from his stepsister, this chapter details Shinwoo's profound emotional breakthrough. Instead of succumbing to his reawakened trauma, the conversation serves as a catalyst for healing, allowing Shinwoo to realize he is not at fault for the tragedies of his past and to let go of a lifelong burden of self-blame. In a move that provides him with critical closure, Shinwoo chooses to forgive his estranged mother. This decision is met with significant debate among readers, who are largely critical of the mother, viewing her as a selfish and pathetic figure who abandoned her child and never sought forgiveness herself. While a minority of readers express sympathy for the mother's own history of trauma and depression, the consensus is that Shinwoo is far too forgiving. The stepsister's intervention is also viewed with suspicion, perceived by many as a self-serving act to alleviate her family's guilt rather than a genuine effort to help Shinwoo. Throughout this process, Han remains a crucial and supportive presence, providing the stability Shinwoo needs to confront his past. Ultimately, the chapter functions as a cathartic turning point, breaking a cycle of generational trauma and allowing Shinwoo to take a major step toward self-acceptance and a happier future.
