### Summary
The narrative has pivoted to a new arc centered on the protagonist Bumryung and his self-harming sleepwalking curse, with the current chapter’s climax being the full face reveal of an enigmatic, white-haired character. As evidenced by reader comments, the unmasking has been met with overwhelming adoration for the character's striking and androgynous beauty, an event that was highly anticipated despite his face being partially shown on a cover. This reveal intensifies the central mystery established in the previous chapter; while the character wore a mask identical to one belonging to an old man linked to the origin of Bumryung's curse, he is clearly not the elderly figure. Audience speculation has now solidified into a widely accepted theory connecting this new figure to the lore of the previous season, identifying him as the white, red-eyed mountain spirit mentioned in a story told by San Baek. This development firmly bridges the manga's past and present narratives, while also sparking new debate among readers about the character's potential romantic dynamic with Bumryung.
