### Summary
Based solely on the provided source material, the current chapter intensifies reader conflict over Gizzida. His actions, framed as desperate protection (drugging Reniae to fake pregnancy and save her from the ritual), combined with an emotionally vulnerable display (crying), evoke strong sympathy and attraction in many readers. Despite widespread spoilers warning of his future villainous turn ("awful," "evil," "psycho"), numerous comments express an inability to hate him ("I can't bear to hate him," "I love Gizzida"), falling for his seemingly caring and precious demeanor ("so sweet and kind"). This creates significant cognitive dissonance ("gaslighting," "my resolve is wavering"), with readers torn between their current emotional response and foreknowledge of his alignment with the supremacist "sky people" cult and his future harmful actions (manipulation, possessiveness, implied future betrayal). Many debate if his motives are genuinely protective or obsessive, question how his character deteriorates, and compare him to the absent Kun ("I miss Kun"), while some express discomfort regarding Reniae's implied young age. The overwhelming sentiment is one of conflicted emotional investment in Gizzida despite spoilers, coupled with frustration at the author for making him "so loveable" before his downfall.
