Strips 001–003 — Why the victims refuse to become Seoyoung¶
The chapter resumes Daniel’s question:
DON’T YOU REGRET WHAT YOU DID TO OK SEOYOUNG?
Yunju’s mother answers by echoing Seoyoung’s words:
I DON’T KNOW…
IT HAPPENED SO LONG AGO, I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER…
A flashback shows the struggle in the rain. The mother had the opportunity to use Seoyoung’s own chemical weapon against her deliberately.
Daniel says:
THAT WAS DEFINITELY YOUR CHANCE TO GET REVENGE.
WHY’D YOU LET IT GO?
He asks whether she believes showing compassion will make Seoyoung remorseful.
The mother and Haeran laugh bitterly. They know Seoyoung will not transform because she was spared an even worse injury.
The mother explains that victims often say they want only one thing:
A SINCERE APOLOGY FROM THE PERPETRATOR.
She felt the same.
More than compensation or legal punishment, she wanted the children who destroyed Yunju to acknowledge what they did.
After eight years, she reached a painful conclusion:
PERPETRATORS NEVER TRULY APOLOGIZE.
When they apologize, it is usually to protect themselves.
At times she wanted the perpetrators to meet the same end as Yunju.
She refused because revenge would not be for Yunju. Yunju was not someone who wanted death in return.
REVENGE ISN’T FOR THE DEAD… IT’S FOR THE LIVING TO RELEASE THEIR RAGE.
She did not want to do something filthy merely to vent her own anger.
Daniel tells her:
YOU DID WELL, AUNTY.
Strip 004 — Daniel recognizes an answer from his own past¶
Haeran and Yunju’s mother hold hands.
Daniel says they did not need to become Ok Seoyoung after everything they endured.
A dark flashback from Daniel’s own life appears: a firearm, an injured or dead adult, and a woman telling him:
YOU’RE JUST LIKE YOUR DAD.
I DIDN’T WANT YOU TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!
The exact earlier event is not fully explained in this chapter, but the memory clearly connects Daniel’s own struggle with retaliatory violence to the women’s refusal to cross the final line.
The women thank him again.
Daniel answers that he should thank them.
BY HELPING YOU,
he found part of an answer he had been searching for.
Strips 005–006 — Ok Youngjun cannot buy the new lawyer¶
Ok Youngjun meets the young lawyer who represented Yunju’s mother in the attorney-negligence appeal.
The CEO says he would erase Seoyoung from the family register if Korean law allowed parents to sever blood ties as easily as spouses end marriages.
At minimum, the company needs a favorable result in Seoyoung’s criminal case.
He asks the lawyer to defend her and promises generous compensation.
The lawyer refuses.
He is currently handling an appeal connected to Ok Seoyoung’s actions and Kim Youngshin’s case. The completed lawsuit from eight years earlier may mean the matter is not a strict technical conflict of interest, but he considers representation ethically inappropriate.
After the CEO leaves, the lawyer reads an article titled approximately:
“THE EXPOSED FACE OF EVIL”
The report says Seoyoung was arrested for instigating Haeran’s assault and attempted murder.
The article does not mention the TRPA.
The lawyer assumes that omission exists because the agency’s actions fall outside its clean legal jurisdiction.
He still considers the TRPA’s extralegal behavior dangerous.
At the same time, he cannot deny that its intervention helped expose a corrupt lawyer and bring judgment to an eight-year-old school-violence case that was about to remain unresolved.
He briefly wonders whether the agency’s existence may have meaning.
Then a new report appears.
Strip 006 — Park Dongwon’s unanswered plea¶
The report is written by Park Dongwon, a first-year student at Jungmyeong High School.
He says Bang Jihyuk has extorted him, assaulted him, and threatened his parents since their first year of middle school.
Dongwon reported Jihyuk to the School Violence Committee, and Jihyuk was transferred.
Dongwon believed he had escaped.
When they entered high school, Jihyuk was assigned to the same school again.
The abuse returned with greater intensity because Jihyuk resented the earlier report.
Dongwon writes:
I CAN’T LIVE LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
SOMETIMES I THINK THE ONLY WAY THIS HELL WILL END IS IF I DIE…
PLEASE… HELP ME. I’M BEGGING YOU.
More than three months pass without a TRPA response.
Dongwon assumes he cannot escape.
Then he enters an online chat labeled:
TRPA COMPANY 2
Strips 007–008 — The “Second Company” appears¶
Bang Jihyuk is found bloodied and terrified.
A young male vigilante beats him while claiming affiliation with the TRPA.
Jihyuk asks:
WH-WHO ARE YOU?!
WHY ARE YOU BEATING ME UP…?
The attacker says he already introduced himself as being from the agency.
When Jihyuk protests that the attacker appears the same age as him, the beating continues.
The vigilante declares:
ANYONE FUCKING UP BULLIES LIKE YOU IS THE FUCKING TRPA!
He forces Jihyuk to experience the violence he used against weaker students.
Online users celebrate the result.
THE 2ND COMPANY OF THE TRPA IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!
Commenters say the official TRPA has become cautious after recent articles, while this “Second Company” beats bullies harder and responds much faster.
They begin redirecting school-violence reports toward the impersonator.
FROM NOW ON, ALL SCHOOL VIOLENCE REPORTS GO TO THE TRPA 2ND COMPANY!
The chapter ends with a vigilante gaining public legitimacy by occupying the gap created by the agency’s limited staffing and slow investigations.
Chapter-level continuity notes¶
Refusing revenge does not mean expecting remorse¶
The victims know Seoyoung will not become good. They refuse because they do not want her cruelty to determine who they become.
Daniel’s personal history mirrors the dilemma¶
The flashback suggests he has previously crossed or approached the line between punishment and revenge.
The lawyer’s position remains conflicted¶
He rejects the TRPA’s methods while recognizing outcomes ordinary institutions failed to produce.
The new report exposes the agency’s capacity problem¶
Three months without a response gives the vigilante space to claim that official procedure is abandonment.
“TRPA Second Company” is popular before it is understood¶
Victims judge it by speed and emotional satisfaction rather than authority, evidence, proportionality, or due process.
