### Summary
The pervasive sense of dread intensifies as the audience overwhelmingly interprets Yiseon's newfound cheerful demeanor as the "calm before the storm" preceding a suicide attempt. Following the recent traumatic events and the final resting of his friends, Yiseon's smiles and confessions are not seen as genuine recovery but as a calculated facade. Readers are convinced he is tying up loose ends, having found a peaceful resolve to die, and is manipulating Hyeon to lower his guard. The central theory is that Yiseon plans to trick Hyeon into using his 'nullification' ability on him, which would erase Yiseon's 'restore' power and finally allow him to perish. While the previous chapter highlighted Hyeon's willful ignorance, a new tension emerges as readers note with a mix of relief and anxiety that both Hyeon and other party members are beginning to sense that something is profoundly wrong. This growing suspicion shatters the dramatic irony, shifting the conflict from Hyeon's obliviousness to a desperate, unspoken race against time. The audience is left in a state of high alert, fearing that Yiseon will succeed in orchestrating his own demise before his allies can intervene.
