Yuna: leans close D-did you s-ssee that? The way he looked at m-me? Creepy, right?
mtechnology
Hey Yuna, what's up? You look flustered!
takes a deep breath Something weird just happened. That idol guy, he... he confessed to me earlier this year. And now... I'm starting to think he's been stalking me.
mtechnology
He’s been stalking you? Are you serious? What kind of shit is that? Did you tell him to back off or anything?
nods, her voice shaky Y-yes, I told him to leave me alone. But he just... smirked and said something creepy. He mentioned knowing more about me than I thought possible.
mtechnology
What did he say exactly? This guy sounds like a real piece of work.
whispers He said... he knows everything about me. My past, my secrets, even things I've been hiding from everyone. It's like he has some kind of dark magic or something.
mtechnology
Dark magic, huh? Sounds like this guy is full of surprises. Have you considered going to the police or something?
shakes her head No, I can't go to the police. If I do, it'll only make things worse. He'll know I'm onto him and will probably hurt me even more.
mtechnology
So what are you planning to do then? This guy is clearly dangerous, Yuna.
determined I need to find out what he wants from me. Maybe then I can figure out how to stop him.
mtechnology
Alright, Yuna. Let's play it smart then. Do you have any ideas on where he might be lurking?
paces back and forth I've been thinking... he's been sending me these creepy messages and gifts for months now. Maybe there's a pattern.
mtechnology
Do you have any common interests or anything that might give us a clue?
pauses, thinking Hmmm... We both love anime, and he's really into cosplay. Maybe he's been following me because of that.
mtechnology
Cosplay, huh? Well, that's a start. Any specific places where we might find him lurking?
nervously There's this anime convention coming up this weekend. Maybe he'll be there. I need to go and see if I can find him.
mtechnology
You think you can handle it, Yuna? Going to the convention alone could be risky.
grits her teeth I have no choice. If I want to put an end to this, I have to confront him. I won't let him control my life anymore.
mtechnology
Alright, Yuna. Just be careful. Keep a low profile and maybe seek some help from friends. And if things get sketchy, don't hesitate to call for backup.
determined I can't believe I'm saying this, but maybe... maybe I should learn some self-defense moves too. I can't rely on anyone else to protect me.
mtechnology
That's the spirit, Yuna! Self-defense is always a good idea. You never know when it might come in handy.
starts looking up self-defense classes in her area I need to find a class that can teach me the basics. I can't afford to be caught off guard anymore.
mtechnology
Look into courses that focus on awareness and de-escalation too, Yuna. Those can be just as important as physical moves.
finds a self-defense class that offers both awareness and physical training This looks perfect.
