### Summary
The narrative has shifted from the boxing ring to a deeply personal and tragic exploration of the protagonist's psyche. Yu is depicted in a state of profound despair, with his pet cat serving as his sole reason for living, a detail that has deeply resonated with readers. The antagonism has fully consolidated onto Coach K, who is now unequivocally seen as a manipulative villain responsible for Yu's suffering. Reader outrage is fueled by revelations of his cruelty, including drugging the young boxer and potentially monitoring him with cameras, leading to calls for him to face consequences. This crisis is compounded by the departure of Yu's manager, Carmen, whose absence is felt as a significant loss, as many believe her genuine care could have been a source of strength for the isolated prodigy. The manhwa has moved beyond its bleak theme of talent versus effort, now focusing on a desperate plea for Yu's salvation from K's toxic influence and his own inner turmoil, leaving readers to hope for an intervention that can guide him toward happiness.
