Synopsis

The chapter focuses on Han Yoojin's present dilemma of being strong-armed into a TV appearance by the Hunter Association, which he is suspicious of. It cuts to a flashback showing the early days of the Awakening Center, highlighting the poorly managed chaos, lack of resources, and dangers faced by low-class hunters. This creates a context for the public animosity and scapegoating of survivors that he faced, which included being accused of preferential treatment due to his brother, and being the target of rumors and insults, leading to his darker past. This reveals the true extent of the corruption and lack of care within the hunter system.
