### Summary
Following a strategic victory where the female cast successfully bluffed a monstrous opponent, the group's situation has become more dire with the appearance of an invisible barrier trapping them within the school. The narrative has taken a significantly darker turn, pivoting from survival to a potential elimination-style horror with the first permanent character death. The victim is Shinbi, whose demise has caused widespread shock and grief among readers, especially as it occurred shortly after her happy reunion with the heroic newcomer, Juri. This event marks a critical failure in Chaerin's mission to make all her classmates "visible" and save them, introducing a new level of peril and finality. The immediate tension is further heightened by a new threat, as another character, Hana, was splattered with zombie blood near her mouth, leading to intense speculation that she will be the next to turn. This sudden escalation in stakes has left the audience emotionally devastated, fearing a "Danganronpa-style" scenario where the characters they have grown attached to will be killed off one by one.
