### Summary
Following the recent flashback that re-contextualized Yuri's aggression as a product of severe childhood trauma and parental neglect, the narrative has pivoted towards emotional healing. The current chapter depicts a significant breakthrough in the central relationship, with Yuri finally opening up about his past, leading readers to interpret this as the beginning of a "slow burn" and a move towards a healthier dynamic. Audience perception of Yuri has shifted dramatically; he is no longer viewed as a simple incestuous antagonist but as a deeply traumatized individual whose obsession with his step-sister is now understood as a displaced cry for affection. This moment of shared vulnerability has fostered hope for a "sain relationship," and many readers now express a desire to see the characters fall in love. However, significant unresolved issues loom, most notably Seonwoo's continued memory loss regarding their past violent sexual encounters, which remains a source of tension. With Yuri's motivations now laid bare, anticipation is building for the story to explore Seonwoo's own history of pain.
