Contrasting Gang-tae’s suppression is Ko Moon-young, a children’s book author with a personality disorder that renders her incapable of empathy. She is introduced not as a romantic lead, but as a predator—a modern-day witch who feeds on the fear of others. Her story within the episode, "The Boy Who Fed on Nightmares," serves as the central metaphor. The story tells of a boy who consumes his nightmares to survive, only to realize that the nightmares are essential to his humanity. This mirrors the central thesis of the drama: that pain and trauma (the nightmares) are not things to be simply eaten or ignored; they must be processed.
