Synopsis

The chapter begins with an elevator restricted to the general population due to unknown reasons. As the group investigates structural changes, they are ambushed by parasites. They argue about Ho-Min's reluctance to use his constellation-given skill, revealing he fears the physical toll and human distrust, especially from the Platinum Monarch and her allies, who might use or eliminate him for his unique powers, including his regression ability. Meanwhile, others discuss that his abilities and existence could be connected to the tower's structural changes.
