### Summary
Following the conclusion of her revenge arc with Mielle's execution, the story shifts its focus to Aria's psychological healing as she visits her paternal family. The central conflict is now internal, as Aria, conditioned by a life of transactional relationships and trauma, struggles to accept the genuine, unconditional love from her grandparents. Readers note her deep-seated trust issues, which cause her to find their affection overwhelming and suspicious, viewing kindness as a potential trap with ulterior motives. This difficulty in processing familial bonds is further highlighted by her perception of her own mother, Carin, as more of a strategic "ally" than a warm maternal figure. The chapter introduces a new external tension with the sudden and intrusive appearance of King Lohan, who interrupts Aria's attempt to bond with her grandmother. Readers widely perceive him as an annoying and redundant "third wheel," questioning his motives and why a monarch has so much free time to pursue Aria. Minor reader discussions also question the logistics of the paralyzed Count's recent suicide and praise a specific imaginative panel depicting Aria in a modern, "badass" pose.
