### Summary
The current chapter intensifies the horror of the "sky people" cult by focusing on a disturbing "holy ceremony" for which young, brainwashed girls have been groomed. The central conflict revolves around Reniae's shocking and counterintuitive decision to actively make herself eligible for this ritual. In a major cliffhanger, she kills a rat and uses its blood to fake her first menstruation, an act that directly undermines Gizzida's previous, morally ambiguous attempt to protect her by drugging her to feign infertility. This development has left readers frustrated and confused by her motives, viewing her actions as willingly entering a dangerous situation. The chapter fuels widespread disgust at the cult's practices, which are compared to real-world traditions of abuse. Reader debate over Gizzida's character continues, with some condemning him as a villain based on spoilers, while others argue his actions are a twisted form of protection against a ritual they believe is lethal. The overall response is one of revulsion and anxiety for Reniae's fate, with many expressing a desire to move past this dark arc and return to the original male lead, Kun.
