A one-sided beating with no hope of even fighting back. That’s what happened for the next few minutes.
Although I had already more or less calmed down a little when I saw Saki’s concerned face close-up, I still have to finish the job of keeping the guy away from her. Or them.
Reporting him as a stalker and letting the authority deal with him could be the best solution. However, it would be troublesome not just to me but also to everyone involved. And since today is Saki’s birthday, I don’t want to make her memory of this to be entirely about how I dealt with the guy.
That’s why I was choosing the method I often used as ‘Ghost’. Instilling fear in his mind to the point that he would never be able to defy me anymore.
In hindsight, the guy had never caused real harm to Saki... yet. All he did was follow her but never approached her directly apart from trying to talk to her through messaging apps.
He was weirdly aware of his boundary. At least, until recently.
