### Summary
The current chapter's flashback delivers a heart-wrenching revelation that reframes the entire narrative, uncovering the tragic, cyclical origin of the central conflict. It is revealed that in a past life, it was a young incarnation of Yoon-jae (named Yoon) who willingly proposed sacrificing his own life to save his dying older brother, Yoonmin (then known as Yeom-oh). This forbidden ritual was ultimately permitted by the antagonist, Yeom-ra, who, crippled by a profound fear of abandonment, desperately chose to save his companion rather than uphold the rules. Reader analysis concludes that this act created a catastrophic misunderstanding: Yeom-oh likely awoke to find his brother dead and blamed Yeom-ra, sparking their millennia-long animosity. This twist has left the audience deeply conflicted, generating new empathy for the antagonist's desperate motivations while condemning his actions. The story is now understood as a perpetual, doomed cycle of one brother breaking the laws of life and death to save the other, a heartbreaking fate that has echoed from their past into the present.
