### Summary
The current arc deepens the central conflict by focusing on Choi Kanggo's deliberate efforts to respect Kamin's boundaries, a direct consequence of their previous major quarrel. In a significant display of character growth, Kanggo actively suppresses his unique ability to smell emotions, forcing himself to navigate their relationship through conventional social cues. This self-imposed handicap is causing him immense anxiety and stress, a struggle that readers find both endearing and a relatable "taste of his own medicine." The situation is further complicated by the introduction of a new girl who shows interest in Kamin, sparking jealousy in Kanggo and testing his commitment to this new, more considerate approach. The central mystery revolves around whether Kanggo is genuinely losing his sense of smell or if his intense focus is causing a different sensory phenomenon, a question that has become a major source of reader concern. While Kanggo grapples with this internal and external turmoil, audience sympathy for Kamin grows, with his social selectivity now viewed as a healthy coping mechanism against his toxic family environment. A new potential subplot involving Kanggo's sister has also been hinted at, suggesting his altered perception may lead to unforeseen discoveries.
