### Summary
Following the conclusion of a lengthy and deeply traumatic flashback detailing the origin of Beom-jin's childhood guilt over his friend Chanyoung's death, the narrative returns to the past to explore the immediate aftermath. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly one of profound heartache and sympathy for the young, isolated Beom-jin as he grapples with his powers alone. A pivotal development occurs as he forms a bond with a cat, which readers understand to be a familiar sent by the god of the underworld, offering the boy a companion and a new purpose. This dynamic has drawn strong comparisons to the series \*Natsume's Book of Friends\*, with its similar themes of a lonely boy with spiritual sight and a powerful cat guardian. The chapter's tension is amplified by the reappearance of Beom-jin's grandmother, a figure met with intense hostility and suspicion from readers who hold her accountable for his suffering due to her past negligence and cruelty. After a long focus on Beom-jin's backstory, the audience expresses a strong desire for the story to return to the present timeline and reunite the main pairing of Beom-jin and Yoon-jae.
