Images 001–014 — A flowerpot falls from above

Sunyoung repeats her warning that Hanrim should keep her head down.

A flowerpot suddenly falls from an upper window.

Hanrim pulls Sunyoung out of its path before impact.

The object shatters on the ground.

Hanrim reveals that she did not arrive as an ordinary trainee.

She was sent by the Teachers’ Rights Protection Agency because the school has become dangerous.

The attack confirms that the class’s hostility is not limited to jokes or social exclusion.


Images 015–037 — Mr. Go’s trust in students

The story moves into the history of Go Yeongsoo, a kind ninth-grade homeroom and history teacher.

Mr. Go believed bad behavior could be corrected through listening and trust.

Yeri Han once served as a class deputy.

Mr. Go found an electronic cigarette or vape in her desk.

Yeri said another student pressured her.

She promised not to repeat the behavior.

Mr. Go chose conversation over immediate punishment.

Another teacher warned that Yeri had already manipulated staff members before.

Mr. Go continued believing that public humiliation would only harden her.


Images 038–055 — The anonymous accusation

The principal receives an anonymous report alleging that Mr. Go hit a student.

The school reacts quickly.

Rather than investigate thoroughly, administrators remove or suspend him to protect the institution from controversy.

Students whisper and stare.

Mr. Go becomes socially isolated before the accusation has been tested.

The gentle teacher who believed every child had a reason behind misconduct discovers that the institution has no equivalent patience for him.

Unable to endure the false accusation and public shame, he dies by suicide.


Images 056–072 — Recorded statements after his death

The TRPA reviews interrogation footage.

Students say Yeri told Mr. Go to stop hitting her.

Some claim they saw enough to believe the accusation.

Yeri describes the entire matter as a joke or misunderstanding.

She trivializes the death with a comparison to random traffic accidents.

Her language contains no meaningful grief.

Na tells Hanrim not to leak the recordings.

The agency must investigate rather than simply answer public anger with public exposure.


Images 073–089 — A staged welcome party

Hanrim returns to Class 2-4.

The girls have prepared a cake and a “welcome” performance.

The display is meant to make the class appear reformed.

Hanrim recognizes the strategy.

If she reacts harshly to smiling students holding a cake, she becomes the unreasonable adult.

She swats or drives the cake into Yeri.

Yeri’s nose begins bleeding.

The class reacts in shock.


Images 090–103 — Yeri tries the familiar accusation

Yeri says a teacher injured a student and threatens to report Hanrim.

Hanrim pins or pushes her face into the cake.

She asks how Yeri intends to repeat the same method now that a government inspector is already documenting the class.

Yeri still expects adult caution to protect her.

Hanrim reveals her identity.

She is a field warden with the TRPA.


Images 104–114 — “I’m not as nice as him”

Hanrim says she studied Mr. Go’s teaching through surviving online videos and records.

He gave Yeri opportunities because he believed kindness could guide her.

She treated that patience as weakness.

Hanrim leans close.

I’M NOT AS NICE AS HIM.

The chapter ends with Yeri realizing that the new adult knows the exact history she has tried to reduce to a joke.


Chapter-level continuity notes

Mr. Go’s trust becomes exploitable because the school offers no procedural protection

His educational philosophy is not the direct cause of his death; institutional haste converts an accusation into social guilt.

Yeri understands the asymmetry between students and teachers

She expects schools to investigate adults immediately while treating student misconduct cautiously.

The staged cake weaponizes appearances

Yeri creates a scene where any rejection can be portrayed as hostility toward reconciliation.

Hanrim’s approach deliberately rejects Mr. Go’s softness

The chapter does not yet prove her method is better; it establishes that she will not permit Yeri to control the narrative through tears and accusations.
