### Summary
The chapter focuses on the immediate, heart-stopping aftermath of Yiseon’s meticulously planned suicide attempt, a climactic event that shatters Hyeon’s manipulative control. Readers were overwhelmingly captivated by Hyeon’s raw, terrified expression, describing it as desperate, devastated, and gut-wrenching—a stark departure from his usual stoic facade that many found both satisfying and profoundly humanizing. This moment of vulnerability is amplified by the fact that Hyeon, caught in a "penalty period" where his powers are nullified, is completely powerless to intervene, a circumstance Yiseon seemingly calculated. Many readers expressed a sense of pride in Yiseon for orchestrating this power reversal, turning the tables on his captor. Comments referencing the source novel elaborate that Hyeon, acting on pure shock and obsession, jumps into the sea after Yiseon without his powers. This event is framed as the catalyst for Hyeon's impending realization of his love, a feeling he has not yet consciously acknowledged, born from the terror of loss. The chapter elicited an intense emotional response from the audience, who found the angst both heartbreaking and gratifying, marking a pivotal turning point where the manipulator is finally forced to confront his own powerlessness and the depth of his feelings.
