### Summary
The central conspiracy is finally unmasked, confirming the duplicitous public defender as the true killer in a dense exposition that has left many readers confused. Fan theories coalesce around the reveal that the lawyer is actually a beta using a hormone-altering drug to pose as an alpha, a fact which explains his previous inability to sense Kiyo’s pregnancy or Iri's mark. His motive stems from a perceived betrayal by his associates; he murdered them when they decided to use the drug for political gain and profit among elites rather than for its original purpose of creating an equal society. This shift threatened the powerful alpha identity he had painstakingly constructed. While this reveal vindicates readers who suspected the lawyer due to earlier clues like his incriminating doodles, the sudden and complex info-dump is widely perceived as rushed, with many readers expressing a desire to move past the convoluted mystery and focus on the central romance and Kiyo's unborn child. Despite the major revelation, key questions, such as why Kiyo was commissioned to paint the murders, remain unanswered. The arc leaves Kiyo in extreme peril, unknowingly trapped with his tormentor, as the recently transferred Iri begins to connect the dots and realize the horrifying truth from a distance.
