Synopsis

The chapter focuses on Pyo Wol's interaction with some of the other children. They confront him about his apparent immunity to the restriction and seek answers. Pyo Wol reveals the curse poison's mechanism, linking it to flute sound waves, and shares that he is resistant to poison. Despite his reluctance, he forms a loose alliance, promising to help the children, while also internally musing over the causes of the restriction, his resistance and the potential of an insect as the culprit for the poison's activation.
