### Summary
The narrative deepens the emotional conflict surrounding the reappearance of Goldiluck's biological family, who had previously abandoned him. This chapter reveals the "strange secret" hinted at in the manga's premise: Goldiluck is a shapeshifter, capable of taking on a human form. Reader commentary suggests this ability is the very reason for his abandonment, with the mother cat being singled out for her cruelty in rejecting her unique offspring. The scene is further complicated by the presence of a seemingly nervous father cat, adding another layer to the family's dysfunctional dynamic. This painful confrontation with his past highlights the stark contrast between the rejection by his biological family and the acceptance he has found. The audience expresses immense relief and gratitude for the scholar's loyal servant, Gyon, who represents the stability and love of Goldiluck's new found family, offering comfort to the "poor baby" in the face of his traumatic history.
