### Summary
The brief respite from the story's relentless tragedy has been shattered by the appearance of Jeha, the zombified male lead. Established as the primary weapon of the self-aware antagonist, the original Chaerin Eun, Jeha's presence immediately signals a new wave of death and despair for Huisu Kim's decimated group. Reader reactions from the current chapter are overwhelmingly bleak, reflecting a conviction that the remaining characters are all going to die. This has led to intense frustration and emotional exhaustion, with some readers hoping for Jeha's own demise and others resigning themselves to the cast's complete annihilation. The situation feels so dire that it has sparked speculation of a potential "dead end path," suggesting the protagonist may be forced into another time-loop regression. This development marks a sharp return to high-stakes horror, leaving the audience feeling drained and hopeless about the survivors' chances.
