### Summary
Emperor Mikhail escalates his "tough love" campaign, moving from forcing a bath to forcing a meal. His unconventional method involves a form of emotional blackmail: if Dayeon refuses to care for herself, he will punish the staff around her. This tactic divides readers, many of whom see their own struggles with depression and burnout reflected in Dayeon's profound apathy. While some applaud Mikhail's desperate attempts to break through her funk, others fear his aggressive intervention will only push the exhausted Dayeon further into despair.
