### Summary
The latest chapter chronicles the devastating consequences of Reniae's forced decision to leave with her tormentor, Gizzida, under the threat of mass slaughter. To protect Kun, she severs their newly-repaired bond with a cruel, fabricated lie, claiming she is abandoning him to pursue her own "true freedom." This act of self-sacrifice is perceived by the audience as a catastrophic regression, plunging the protagonists back into a painful misunderstanding just after resolving their last one. The reader response is overwhelmingly one of intense heartbreak, anger, and emotional exhaustion, with many feeling betrayed by the narrative's return to a hated trope. Fans express profound frustration with Reniae's reversion to a seemingly helpless victim, criticizing her failure to communicate Gizzida's magical threat (Nirgak) or utilize her own skills. The chapter culminates in a painful separation that has intensified the audience's visceral hatred for the manipulative Gizzida and left readers in a state of despair over the characters' renewed suffering.
